Even for a fighting game series, the King of Fighters franchise boasts a vast roster, drawn not just from SNK's other brawlers but their entire library. So mobile spinoff The King of Fighters AFK is certainly not short on exciting new characters to add to its lineup!

Case in point being today's addition with B. Jenet, who joins the battle today. Jenet is heiress to the Behrn family, but, as wealth heiresses are wont to do, decided to run off and become the leader of a band of pirates. As the captain of the Lilien Knights, she boasts powerful skills such as the Aurora EX and Ennui Mademoiselle, recreated in KoF AFK.

Naturally, her introduction also comes alongside a new pick-up event, which will take place until April 1st, offering a greater chance of her acquisition. That's alongside a [Spike] Synergy Fighter Summon Event that lets you nab certain fighters with this element, making this a very good reason to dig into our King of Fighters AFK tier list.

Fight, fight, fight

Whatever your opinion on the King of Fighters AFK, I think it's hard to argue that it doesn't dip deep into the vaults when it comes to some of the most iconic fighters from the series. And while it may not be a proper fighting game, if you're a fan of the series, I don't doubt you'll get a kick out of seeing your favourite characters!

You'll also want to jump in, even if you're not a big fan of B. Jenet. The Blossom Town Event, running from March 26th to April 8th, will let you nab the exclusive Aura and Sakumo pets. Meanwhile, the Lucky Elpy Event, which runs from March 30th to April 3rd, can net you the legendary supporter Lao.

If you're looking to hone your actual button-mashing skills with some proper brawling, then you just might want to take a look at our list of the best fighting games on iOS for 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.
