Published , by TJ Denzer

It’s been a little bit since TJ and Blake have gotten together to host a proper Shacknews Dump. We’ve been busy! But no matter, we are back, and the Dump is back with us. Tune in as we talk about all sorts of the week’s hottest news, including the sweaty embrace of Embracer Group’s myriad of acquisitions.

On this August 19 edition of the Shacknews Dump, we discuss the Embracer Group acquisitions that took place earlier this week and what they could mean. Embracer got the IP rights to Lord of the Rings movies and games. Are Daedalic and Private Division’s LOTR games safe? Moreover, we talk about allegations that hit Nintendo this week and Doug Bowser’s response to the matter. Finally, Arcade1UP had a huge announcement with the return of NFL Blitz. Will this new cab satisfy our ‘member berries'?
