Vanillaware via CEO George Kamitani confirmed that the #UnicornOverlord dev budget is depleted in launch week, with the extra expenses paid out of pocket. Kamitani said that is a constant during the 10 years of the game's development. Also... At the very launch week of #UnicornOverlord & PC-RPG fans awaiting for a confirmation, Vanillaware said that their partnership with Atlus doesn't include a PC version, I will say that the hope is Atlus' willingness to amend the deal. #Gaming #GameNews #youtubegaming 🕹🎮

Nintendo announced that #NintendoSwitch have surpassed the 139.36 million unit sold and overtaking DS family as the best-selling video game system of all time in Japan. During their quarterly conference with investor, Nintendo claims that Switch will be main business for 2024 & didn't mention anything about its successor, slated to be released this year and reportedly, key partners are already developing games with dev kits. During the three months until December 31, Nintendo reported an operating profit of ¥184 billion yen, slightly down on the same period last year but still, went better than analyst expected. Analyst are impressed on how Nintendo have a steady business with an aged Nintendo Switch ecosystem & limited hardware compared to PC and gaming consoles, all this without major price cuts. #Gaming #GameNews #youtubegaming 🕹🎮

In a sad and surprising move, Theta Labs confirmed that it will wind-down #ThetaTV to be from a streaming alternative to just a single channel to promote the $THETA Blockchain which curates decentralized CDN & Video API. Streamers and users that have been paid with TFuel crypto and NFT via content consumption/production, needs to transfer balances to their $TDROP wallet by Tuesday, September 19 and it is also the final day for Theta TV being available to stream content. Theta Labs justified the move as a way to "further distinguish their identity as the leading Web3 blockchain infrastructure for video streaming, media and entertainment" and wanted to kill the misconception that Theta TV was a perpetual Twitch/YouTube alternative. While they call it a misconception, I always rooted for the Twitch alternative that for years creators needed, regardless crypto or not. Theta TV was a pet project to showcase the capacity of the Theta Blockchain which brings decentralized CDN and Video processing via nodes validators and special nodes sponsored/setup by partners that included big players Google, Samsung and Sony. By the end of the month, all accounts on Theta TV will be deleted regardless of whether the user withdrew their assets or not. #Gaming #GamingNews

It is rumored that the #NintendoSwitch successor is launching at 2nd half of 2024 to ensure availability & already key partners have operational dev kits. It is expected to be another console/portable hybrid, built with LCD screen and backward compatibility. #Gaming #GamingNews

Yes, the Facebook Gaming Partnership program on hold by Meta went under my radar all right. However, months ago clues were apparent with big FB Gaming streamers jumping to other platforms outta nowhere. It will be interesting to see current Partners as Meta is paying 100% back.

Stream had to find out first but we have a wonderful new partnership as a Dread Passenger content creator. I am so excited to not only work with the dev but the other passengers for this amazing game!
