Dunk City Dynasty and its fast-paced, 3v3 basketball action has really capitalised on the growing popularity of the sport overseas. Now, with the launch of season nine, volume one, two new major stars are set to arrive in Dunk City Dynasty and further round out an already massive roster!

The update sees the arrival of the Minnesota Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards, alongside the New York Knicks' Mikal Bridges. The update also sees the launch of the latest Season Journey, allowing you to jump in and play through Dunk City Dynasty's various modes and earn exclusive rewards as a result.

Get dunked on

Anthony Edwards will be instantly recognisable to those of you who check in on the site frequently, as he recently made an appearance to promote another mobile game with

Zynga's Spades Plus

. His appearance in Dunk City Dynasty shortly after is certainly indicative of the athlete's high profile in the NBA.

And, of course, it wouldn't be a NetEase game without some slightly out-of-place but nonetheless fancy new cosmetics. The Eternal Night armour set lets you take to the field in a fancier and much more distinctive outfit, coupled with the Hero and Boxing Champion cosmetics too.

The NBA and basketball as a whole has become increasingly popular overseas in countries such as China, which is perhaps why NetEase chose to tackle the sport in this popular release. But while China may have homegrown talent, it's still major American athletes such as Edwards and Bridges that seem to still be taking centre stage.

Still, even if you're not into basketball, this is just a small snapshot of some of the great releases available on mobile for sports lovers. Why not check out our list of the best sports games on Android to find some more of our favourite picks you can play right now?

Heroic Legends Reborn is the product of two brothers rebuilding an MMO from the ground up

We all get nostalgic for games which other people seem to overlook. For me, it's Two Worlds (yeah, I know), and for two brothers, it's the now fifteen-year-old MMO Heroic Legends! So, what do you do when that game has disappeared? Well, if you're like them, you rebuild it yourself. With blessings from the original creators and access to the artwork used to create the hand-painted MMO, two brothers known as SonOfBoo and Andepher have recreated Heroic Legends from the ground up. Rechristened as Heroic Legends Reborn, it's slated to arrive on iOS and Android on September 5th. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/heroic-legends-reborn/coming-soon/)

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns🍄 Nintendo Switch, Mobile, Multi-platform

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns

Nintendo is doing what Nintendo does: issuing DMCA takedown notices to anyone who illegally offers access to any of the company's games. That's exactly what happened earlier this week, as Nintendo wiped out over 400 Switch emulators from GitHub. According to an August 21 TorrentFreak report(https://torrentfreak.com/nintendo-wipes-out-400-switch-emulator-repos-in-single-day-github-sweep/), the Mario maker sent the proprietary developer platform seven DMCA takedown notices targeting Nintendo Switch emulator repositories. This includes Suyu (the Yuzu successor that became popular after Yuzu shut down(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-lawsuit-shuts-down-switch-emulator-yuzu-and-3ds-emulator-citra/1100-6521589/) in March 2024), the Android emulator Skyline, and a few lingering Yuzu forks. In total, some 401 repositories were nuked off GitHub, with 311 of them being Suyu. Now that they're removed, if you attempt to visit the repository on GitHub, you'll receive either a 404 error or a pop-up notification that it's been taken down. In the DMCA pop-up notification, Nintendo states that the targeted repositories "offer, link to, or otherwise provide access to Nintendo Switch emulators." The company said these emulators violate Technological Protection Measures (TPMs), which act as digital locks controlled by copyright owners to prevent copying data illegally. "Specifically, these Nintendo Switch emulators illegally circumvent Nintendo's TPMs in order to run illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games," the notice reads. "Nintendo Switch games are encrypted using proprietary cryptographic keys (prod.keys) which protect against unauthorized access to and copying of the copyrighted games. During operation, the emulators at the reported repositories necessarily use unauthorized copies of these cryptographic keys to decrypt unauthorized copies of Nintendo Switch games, or ROMs, at or immediately before runtime without Nintendo's authorization." With Nintendo summoning the Eye of Mario on 401 repositories earlier this week, and over 8,500 repositories in May 2024(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-shuts-down-yuzu-clones-in-ongoing-quest-to-kill-switch-emulation/1100-6523158/), this brings the company's repository death count to almost 9,000 on GitHub alone. And with Nintendo filing a lawsuit against Yuzu creator Tropic Haze in February 2024(https://kotaku.com/nintendo-zelda-tears-kingdom-switch-yuzu-emulate-pirate-1851293463), which resulted in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/) being pirated over one million times before it launched, the company's war on emulators continues.
