TikTok Partner with AI Virtual Pets (from the team behind Pokemon Go), Creator League Drama and Nintendo Releasing a VR Headset?
Description
Lots to get stuck into on this week's news roundup. We've been speculating on the return of the Tamagotchi or equivalent virtual pet in the age of AI companionship. TikTok are partnering with exactly that, made by the creators of Pokemon Go.
Plus we saw some drama with the Creator League - a unique idea that featured 8 major gamers/streamers and a brand deal from Mr. Beast, but it all went sour on the mention of blockchain.
Rokoko launch a new motion capture solution and are Nintendo dropping a VR headset?
