I’m still itching to watch Jurassic Park. Probably because I’ve been watching letsplays of that Jurassic World game. Here’s the news.
- Breath of the Wild in Mario Kart
- PUBG Devs Apologize for Offensive WWII Items
- Gravity Rush 2 Servers are Gone
Zelda Kart
Did you think Nintendo was done with Mario Kart 8? WELL YOU’RE WRONG. The game company has recently announced the version 1.6.0 patch for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Switch. This update adds Link, in the Champion’s Clothes, as seen in the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It also adds in the Master Cycle Zero, a horse-like motorcycle originally added to Breath of the Wild as DLC. They must really like Link being in Mario Kart.
Offensive PUBG Items
Popular Battle Royale game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has stirred the pot of tact recently with two particular World War 2 references. If you like in an English speaking country, you may not have fully understood what they were or why, but those in China, Japan, and Korea are reasonably upset. The first item was a pilot’s mask that donning a rising sun symbol, which hits a bit too close to the controversy of kamikazes. The other was an AI bot name, “Unit 731.” This designation was given to a Japanese military arm that conducted experiments on prisoners of war from China, Korea, and Russia. They also developed chemical weapons. Developers Bluehole has since removed the items and apologized for their ignorance.
Gravity Rush 2 Servers
As I’ve warned about in the past, the online servers for Gravity Rush 2 have finally been shut down. Various online features like treasure hunts and picture ratings are now disabled, so to speak. Sorry GR2 fans, it was a long time coming.
That’s all for today. Tune in Monday for the next post of news. I’ll be out of town this weekend, not that it matters to y’all. Otherwise, have a great weekend!
