Back at CES 2025, gaming accessory company Genki showed off a new line of Nintendo Switch 2 accessories--and it provided a 3D-printed model of the then-unannounced console for reference. That model has officially drawn the ire of Nintendo, as the company has filed a lawsuit against Genki for what it calls "trademark infringement, unfair competition, and false advertising."

The lawsuit says that Genki broke multiple laws in its marketing of what Nintendo calls "unauthorized Nintendo Switch 2 accessories," which Nintendo alleges could lead to confusion for potential Switch 2 owners. The paperwork also references multiple instances of Genki's marketing of its Switch 2 lineup, including a "Genki Direct" livestream which aired at the same time as the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct in April, as well as renders shown at CES 2025 of the then-unannounced console.

"Consumers are likely to falsely perceive a connection, association, sponsorship, or affiliation between Defendant and its products and services on the one hand and those of Nintendo and its licensees on the other," the suit reads. "Consumers who unwittingly purchase or preorder Genki’s products thinking that the products are genuine or endorsed or authorized by Nintendo are likely to impute any shortcomings, defects, or lack of quality in Genki’s products to Nintendo because of Genki’s actions."

After the concept was revealed during the Nintendo Direct in late March, the Virtual Game Card update for the original Nintendo Switch has now gone live. However, reports are now surfacing that along with that update, a loophole allowing multiple Switch systems to share one digital copy of a game for online play has been closed, which forces each Switch to now own its own copy of said game.

According to Eurogamer, before the update, if a single Nintendo Account was logged in to two separate Switch devices, those devices could both boot up a game owned by that account and play it online together. With the new update, if one Switch has the game booted up and is playing online, the other is no longer able to join them.

The Eurogamer report has discovered a workaround that will allow two Switch systems to play the same game, though without online play, via a new Online Licenses option in the console settings. For this to work, when a Virtual Game Card is sent from one Switch to another, the Online Licenses options must be activated on both consoles. Then:

The newest episode of HBO's The Last of Us featured an unexpected guest star, and now we know how this person came to appear on the show and the backstory of their biggest bit of dialogue. This story contains spoilers for The Last of Us Season 2.

To begin with, yes, that was Nickelodeon star Josh Peck from Drake & Josh and The Amanda Show who appeared at the beginning of Episode 4 playing a FEDRA soldier in a flashback scene set in 2018.

Peck played Janowitz, and while his appearance was short, it was memorable. The character gives a biting monologue to other FEDRA soldiers in a military vehicle about his excitement over detaining "voters." This is the dismissive term that FEDRA gave to survivors in quarantine zones who had their rights taken away.
