Thursday 8-30-18: Dream Daddy Comic Book and Nintendo DMCA’s Nintendo Essentials

Like sand in an hourglass, these are the video games of our lives.

  • Dream Daddy: The Comic Book
  • Nintendo DMCAs Pokemon Essentials

Dream Daddy Comic Series


Developer and Publisher Game Grumps have recently announced that their popular dad dating game will be receiving a six-issue comic book series with Oni Press, with the first one available now. The first issue focuses on “fitness dad” Craig as he joins the protagonist for a college reunion. More information, including where to purchase the first issue, can be found on the Oni website.

Nintendo Takes Down Pokemon Fan Game Maker


If you’re a fan of fan games, you may have heard of Pokemon Essentials. It’s a game making toolkit that gives the user a friendly interface for setting up their own Pokemon games. Recently, this project “and all downloads for it have been taken down due to a copyright claim by Nintendo of America.” This has sparked some community outlash, primarily from the Pokemon Essentials community. Many are confused as to why, after 11 years, Nintendo only now issued the takedown. While this is unfortunate for those who invested their time in the project, I can’t say this is a surprise.


That’s all for today, tune in tomorrow for the final news post of the week. Otherwise, have a great day!
