The guys at Mega Cat Studios have a new game in the pipe. The Meating will come to a NES near you sometime in the future. The story is also a bit odd… but well, why not.
Become a ghost minotaur on the quest to put his meat back together in this puzzle platformer. Use pyrokinesis, possession and an array of other ghost skills to solve puzzles, and the mystery of who butchered you.

The long awaited NES Ghostbusters hack is here! Version 1.0 was released on October 4th, 2019. After hearing a lot of user feedback, fixes and improvements have been made in version 1.1. Be sure to check it out!
Most importantly, a cheat code has been added to allow the player to start with $10k in savings, to get accostumed with the new game design. The original game’s city map and ghost catching aspect was completely pointless and nearly impossible to get a gameover on. The only challenge was the staircase, with its terrible controls. Players would rely on a glitch to get 255 lives and beat the level, reaching the even more broken fight with Gozer.
This hack fixes and rebalances everything to make a real game out of it. So, though it may look like it is the same, it does not play like the original game at all. Thinking so could be frustrating, so keep these points in mind while playing:
- Your main and only goal is to enter the Zuul building before PKE reaches 9999. For this you need to regularly stop and catch roaming ghosts, as they greatly increase the PKE meter if they reach the building!
- After you have enough money for a beam and the anti-ghost suit you can enter the Zuul building, but buying the ghost food and the sound generator is advisable.
- The hyper beam doubles the amount of money acquired from catching ghosts on buildings! But depending on your strategy you may want to keep the regular capture beam.
- Same goes for the ghost alarm and the super trap. They may or may not be worth it depending on the play style!

The Nintendo Switch has sold a total of 15 million units in North America alone since its launch in March 2017.
This number includes both the regular Nintendo Switch as well as the Nintendo Switch Lite, which launched just last month. Unit sales are up over 20% year-to-date as of the end of September.
A total of 14 Nintendo Switch games have sold over one million units, and four have sold over six million: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and Super Mario Odyssey.
So far, Nintendo has sold nearly 37 million units of Nintendo Switch hardware worldwide by last count (though the company's IR site hasn't been updated with this total since July), and just surpassed 10 million unit sales in Europe earlier this month. Nintendo originally set sales targets for the console at 38 million units by March 2019, but missed its projections at the time.

Retro hardware maker Analogue is readying its first portable system. But unlike its efforts based on the NES, Super Nintendo, and Genesis, the Analogue Pocket will cover multiple systems.
Set for release in 2020, the Analogue Pocket will play Game Boy, Game Boy, Color, and Game Boy Advance cartridges out of the box. With a variety of adapters sold separately, the system will play games from the Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Atari Lynx.
As with previous Analogue systems, the company is promising no emulation. The system will include two FPGA hardware chips, with the second one a dedicated chip to support third-party development.

Nintendo DS emulation on hacked Switch consoles isn’t anything new and it’s been around for over a year first with DeSmuME-NX and then melonDS. Up till today, melonDS could run some less demanding titles at fullspeed provided you overclocked your Switch to 1.5/1.7GHz but doing this reduced battery life and generated extra heat which would undoubtedly shorten the battery’s lifespan. As a result, the only realistic way to emulate DS games on the Switch was through DraStic on Android but now, that’s changed thanks to catlover007’s work!
 Thanks to the JIT, melonDS can run many games well on the Switch! (Image Source)
Catlover007 has been working on writing a DS JIT for the Switch for quite a while and now, he’s released the first public build of melonDS with an ARM64 JIT and NEON GPU optimisations. According to the release post, his build of melonDS allows you to run most 2D games at good speeds and even some 3D titles like Pokemon HG without overclocking. While this build provides better performance than other melonDS for Switch releases, it doesn’t have the regular UI so controlling it might be a tad more annoying but it’s certainly doable.
Shrimptacular on Reddit has tested numerous DS games on this build and he’s confirmed that the following titles work properly:
- Plants vs Zombies
- Tetris DS
- Yoshi’s Island
- Castlevania Ecclesia
- Castlevania Portrait
- Mario Kart DS
- Metal Slug 7
- New Super Mario Bros
- Many other titles which can be seen by viewing this Reddit comment
To grab a build of melonDS with JIT, follow this link and enjoy playing DS games on your Switch without killing its battery life!

With Overwatch arriving on Nintendo Switch today, developer Blizzard Entertainment has cancelled its New York launch event at Nintendo World.
The move comes amid growing dissent among fans after Blizzard suspended Hearthstone pro player Chung "Blitzchung" Ng Wai over his post-match interview comments supporting Hong Kong protesters.
Blizzard originally planned a live meet-and-greet with some of the game's voice actors, but cancelled the event with only a day's notice, offering no explanation.
Since banning Ng Wai from professional play for 12 months, and confiscating his winnings, Blizzard has come under intense criticism from fans and commentators for it's apparent support of Chinese censorship.
However, the company has since dialled back its punishment of Ng Wai, reducing the ban to six months and returning his winnings from the Hearthstone Grandmasters tournament.

If you’ve seen screenshots of TLZ: Link’s Awakening, then you probably noticed the Distant Blur effect present in the game when roaming around outside. On the internet, opinions about the blur vary wildly with some people loving it and others hating it but thanks to the Switch hacking scene, the blur can be turned off with a recently released mod!
 Do you like Nintendo’s remake but dislike the blur? If so, SleepingMelons has just created the perfect mod for you! (Image Source)
This mod, which is called ‘No DOF Blur’ and was developed by MelonSpeedruns, fully removes the distant blur effect present in the game while leaving everything in its original state therefore making individuals who dislike the blur happy. To make use of this mod, you have to:
- Download it from here
- Extract the ZIP file you downloaded and place the ‘atmosphere’ folder on the root of your SDCard
- You obviously need a hacked Switch running Atmosphere to use this mod
- If you’re emulating the game on Yuzu, rename the ‘01006BB00C6F0000’ folder found in the ZIP file to ‘No DOF’ and place it in “C:\Users\{Your Username}\AppData\Roaming\yuzu\load\01006BB00C6F00 00\”
- Reboot your console or re-open Yuzu
- Enjoy TLZ: Link’s Awakening without the blur!
- Unfortunately, users have reported that the mod doesn’t alleviate any of the game’s performance issues so don’t install this mod with the sole intention of improving your frame rate

fgsfdfgs has released a new version of GZ Doom for the Nintendo Switch
Changes
merged latest upstream changes (4.2.1+);
rebuilt with latest libnx (9.0.0 support).
Installation and running
Unzip the attached ZIP file to the switch folder on your SD card.
Place at least one supported IWAD (e.g. doom2.wad) into gzdoom/iwads/.
Run GZDoom Launcher from hbmenu.
Known bugs
When you exit the game via the Quit option in the menu, something doesn't deinitialize properly and the next homebrew you run will crash, unless you exit and reenter hbmenu.
Startup takes a while.
Notes
Launcher controls:
D-PAD: navigation
L/R: change tab
A: activate option
B: cancel/exit
X: reset option
PLUS: start game
You can technically place the game into any subfolder in sdmc:/switch/, as long as the gzdoom folder is next to gzdoom_launcher.nro.
Any custom files (PWADs, PK3s, DEHs, LMPs, whatever) should be placed into the gzdoom/pwads folder.
The launcher has predefined default profiles for most supported IWADs. You can also add your own profiles by pressing Y on the main tab. Any changes will be saved to gzdoom/launcher.ini.
The launcher will only detect files in gzdoom/iwads and gzdoom/pwads. You can use the Override RSP file option if you have to load files from other locations.
Multiplayer does work, however only Switch <=> PC multiplayer has been tested. You can start a netgame from the launcher. Don't forget to change the player number from 1 and read the warning message.
The IP that's placed in the address field by default is your Switch's local IP, others can use that to connect to it if they're on the same network.
Only the player that hosts the game needs to set gameplay settings, however everyone has to pick the same set of custom files as the host.
Fatal errors are logged into error.log. You can also turn on logging in the launcher.

fgsfdsfgs offers the 8093 nx2 release of " eDuke32 ", porting the Duke Nukem 3D game engine for the nintendo Switch.
Changelog
updated source to svn r8093 (thanks, @parkerlreed);
rebuilt with libnx 2.5.0 or whatever is the latest one.
Instructions
Unzip attached ZIP into sdmc: / switch /.
Put the data files of the game you wish to play into sdmc: / switch / eduke32 /.
eg for Duke3D DUKE3D.GRP and DUKE3D.RTS (if present)
Run via hbmenu (title override or NSP hbmenu preferred, because larger games or mods might need more than applet mode).
Notes
heavy duty mods will require a lot of memory, so do you use this game via override gold NSP hbmenu;
on some setups if you exit the game back to hbmenu and then re-enter, the Switch will crash. Exit and re-enter hbmenu to prevent that;
the game only saves when you exit via the menu option;
autoload folder should work, though you might have to enable it in eduke32.cfg;
the build is packaged with eawpats, which means you get MIDI support out of the box;
docked mode does work, you can change the resolution to 1920x1080 in Display Options;
classic renderer is still supported, you can switch to it in Display Options;
if the game crashes or something, do not forget to check eduke32.log in the eduke32 folder.
See the EDuke32 Wiki for more information.
Thanks to r0r0 on the ReiSwitched Discord for testing.
