Friday 8-24-18: Super Mario Party Only Uses Joycons and Denuvo Developing Anti-Cheat Software

Friday is here, you can tell by the way the planet rotates. Here’s the news.

  • Super Mario Party Won’t Support Pro Controllers
  • Denuvo to Develop Anti-Cheat Software

Super Joycon Party


According to a report by nextn.es, Super Mario Party for the Nintendo Switch will only support gameplay with the Nintendo Joycon. This, in turn, means it won’t support the Pro controller. I can understand this in the interest of keeping controls equal and fair. But the sideways Joycon is easily the least comfortable control scheme to use on the console. Not that I intended to buy the game anyway, to be honest.

Denuvo Anti-Cheat


The infamous anti-piracy company has quietly broken into the anti-cheating business of video games. Denuvo announced that their new system will be coming soon, and will prevent hackers from messing with the game code to gain an advantage over others. They made a point to mention that this includes trying to bypass microtransactions and the otherwise “dilution of the value of the game for the user and the game studio.”

Call me distrusting here.


That’s all for today, however. Tune in Monday for another week of video game news! Otherwise, have a great weekend!
