As we covered earlier today, Shangri-La Frontier fans may be feeling a little left out, what with the upcoming Seven Colossi mobile spinoff being extensively teased, but only releasing in Japan. But you can enjoy Shangri-La frontier on mobile in a whole new way, with the debut of its Blue Protocol: Star Resonance collab!

Yes, from now until April 22nd, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance fans can enjoy new limited-time content inspired by Shangri-La Frontier. It's just the first of three planned anime collaborations taking place this year, to be followed by Fairy Tail and a mysterious third entry.

As for what you can expect to make an appearance, it's mainly themed items based on the series. But there's plenty there to collect, such as Sunraku's iconic Staring Bird mask, the Antimony Great Sword wielded by Psyger-0, not to mention collaboration menu items and furniture to stock your in-game home with! While there are no collab-exclusive characters, it's still well worth checking our Blue Protocol: Star Resonance tier list if you're just starting out!

Bits & Pieces

Admittedly, the fact that Blue Star Protocol has so many collaborations coming up does make a bit more sense now, considering this is a fairly humble offering. But at the same time, it may have been a bit much to hope for a full story or special events.

Still, if you're a fan of Shangri-La Frontier, then this is a neat way to engage with your favourite anime. And if you're tempted to give Blue Star Protocol a go because of this, all the better.

And if you find yourself at a bit of a loose end after getting your mitts on all of this new content, then don't worry. Just take a gander at our list of the five new mobile games to try this week for some of our picks of the most interesting recent releases!

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.
