YouTuber Creates Homebrew Nintendo Switch Version of ‘Diablo’
Last year, a coder managed to reverse-engineer the original Diablo source code, opening up not only options for modders, but also the potential to port the game to systems which were never intended to play the game. Of course, you know that there would be those fans who would try the latter.
That’s what’s happened with YouTuber Modern Vintage Gamer, who managed to get a version of Blizzard’s classic CRPG on his homebrewed Nintendo Switch! As a bonus, he made a video about it. The video also goes through the aforementioned history of reverse-engineering the Diablo source code, which oddly involved the Japanese version of the PS1 port of Diablo. It’s obviously not for everyone, but it’s certainly fascinating to check out.
While we’re not advocating using homebrew techniques on your Switch (since you could potentially brick your console, or Nintendo could ban it from going online), if you’re morbidly curious, you can find the reverse-engineered source code to create your own Switch version here.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
