WWE Champions set to feature Motörhead's one-of-a-kind frontman Lemmy in new event

Pocket Gamer RSS Feed⏱ 3 min read(5 months ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

It's often been said (at least by me) that music and wrestling have an inextricable connection. Be that Cyndi Lauper's early connections to the WWF, Jim Johnston's famous set of entrance themes or other high-profile musicians. And few are as iconic as the link between Lemmy Kilmister and 'The Game' himself, HHH. Now, mobile puzzle-battler WWE Champions is set to honour the connection with a new event themed after the late Motörhead frontman. The band famously provided two themes for Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the form of 'The Game' and 'King of Kings'. Not to mention a live performance at Wrestlemania X-Seven, where the band played HHH's theme live. ... [MORE]

Behold the king...the king of kings...

  • WWE Champions is set to introduce a brand-new collab event featuring, drum roll please...
  • Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead! The famed bassist joins Cerebral Assassin HHH for this event
  • Bring Lemmy to the ring as part of a new limited event running now

Now, mobile puzzle-battler WWE Champions is set to honour the connection with a new event themed after the late Motörhead frontman. The band famously provided two themes for Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the form of 'The Game' and 'King of Kings'. Not to mention a live performance at Wrestlemania X-Seven, where the band played HHH's theme live.

Not only will HHH don his famous 'Warpig' gear as the 'Cerebral Assassin' persona, but Lemmy himself will be able to step into the ring. Lemmy is set to be available via the currently in-progress Ace of the Ring event that runs until March 27th, with the Cerebral Assassin arriving shortly afterwards.

Championship stuff

While WWE Champions already hits a bit of a niche by combining the fast-paced, hardcore action of professional wrestling with, er, gem-matching puzzles, I think this is an exciting little event nonetheless.

You can say what you want about HHH (believe me, I have), but he's undoubtedly one of the most iconic modern professionals in the sport. And Lemmy Kilmister needs no introduction as the frontman of one of the most famous heavy metal bands of all time.

So, if you want to bring a famed bassist and underrated persona to your roster, be sure to jump in and give WWE Champions a go!

In the meantime, if you're an action fan who finds WWE Champions' puzzle gameplay is actually quite intriguing, then why not dig into our list of the best puzzle games on Android to find some other cerebral thrillers?

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.
