  • It focuses on simple, no-frills, but surprisingly realistic sports simulation
  • And it's also packed to the gills with official MLB players to bring to your side

So far this year, we've had major launches and announcements for fantastical adventures across strategy, action and roleplaying. So it seems only fitting that we go back to something just a little more realistic, as MLB action arrives for mobile in the form of Baseball Hits 26 from Ares Interactive!

By all accounts, this is not the latest entry in an existing series but an entirely new effort in terms of sports simulation. Baseball Hits promises MLB (Major League Baseball) action to the tune of over 800 real-world players such as Juan Soto, Tarik Skubal and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Gameplay-wise, there's a refreshing no-frills presentation to Baseball Hits 26. Simply tap the screen at the right time to swing, and (hopefully) hit that coveted home run to carry the game. It even expands into the realm of pitching with the intent of short, fun sessions.

Called shot

I think what stands out to me the most about Baseball Hits 26 is that it seems very feature-rich for what looks to be a relatively new entry into the genre for Ares Interactive. Of course, there are still some elements, such as card-based unlockable team members, that may chafe for sports purists, but you could do far worse.

Naturally, you'll find other popular features here too, such as Clubs that you can enter to compete together with and live events and tournaments to jump into. And with the aforementioned enormous roster of recognisable baseball names, it may be a powerful new competitor if you're looking for a fresh sports sim.

If you're looking to experience what else mobile has to offer for sports fans, then you're in luck, because it's packed to the rafters. Just to start, why not take a look at our list of the best sports games for Android to see some of our top picks?

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.
