Ireland mobilizes army to clear port-blocking protests over fuel taxes

The Irish government dispatched the army to remove trucks and tractors blocking key ports (Foynes and Whitegate) and major roads, citing risks to fuel supply and public health as protesters push for deeper fuel-tax cuts. Prime Minister Micheál Martin said reopening ports was essential and rejected talks with protesters who lack industry backing, while opposition criticized the escalation; the disruption threatens Ireland’s imports and essential services like water purification chemical supply.

Zelda’s 40th Anniversary Preview: Ports, Remakes, and a Quiet Celebration

For Zelda’s 40th, predictions suggest Nintendo won’t launch a major new Zelda game this year; Tears of the Kingdom (2023) and Echoes of Wisdom (2024) have consumed development time. More likely are ports or HD remasters—Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD on Switch (or Switch 2)—and possible HD remakes of Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, along with smaller announcements like amiibo or a teaser trailer, rather than a full-blown anniversary Direct.

Sony's PC Port Strategy Tightens: Fewer First-Party Singles on PC, Insider Claims

An insider says Sony will release far fewer first-party single-player PC ports going forward, prioritizing its PS5 ecosystem; some ports may still arrive, but the shift could exclude live-service or multiplayer titles. Death Stranding 2 remains headed to PC, and prior ports (Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon) are cited as modest performers, underscoring a strategy aimed at bolstering console sales rather than PC ROI.
