Thumper on Switch – PS4 comparison + docked / portable frame rate test
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 4 Comments | 0 Likes
Digital Foundry has taken an in-depth look at the newly-released Switch game Thumper.
On Switch, it runs at a full 1080p docked and 720p handheld resolution as promised. It also maintains a steady 60 frames per second. Thumper may have lost some effects from the PlayStation 4 version, but many will likely be unaware that they’re missing in the first place. Digital Foundry also has high praise for the anti-aliasing used on Switch and the port overall.
Have a look at the full analysis below.

Splasher heading to Switch this fall
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments | 0 Likes
Splasher is making its way to Switch, Splashteam and The Sidekicks have announced. The 2D platformer featuring arcade-action gameplay released on Steam earlier this year with a strong reception.
Here’s an overview of Splasher:
“Armed with a splatter cannon, players launch an attack on a paint factory in order to save the workers, called the Splashers and stand up against the evil boss. The amazing paint cannon grants you color superpowers. Splashers can stick to the walls, bounce, or attack enemies. To succeed in this noble mission and put an end to the madness, players will have to put their skills and reflexes to the test and face whatever the factory throws at them.
Splasher has been acknowledged for its inch-perfect level design that makes it very popular in the Speedrun community. The game offers several competitive modes and world leaderboards and started a #SplasherChallenge that led to a fierce competition between players including some very skilled youtubers and twitchers. As a reward for the developers the game already made its way to the next SGDQ line-up, the most popular worldwide speedrun event.”
Splasher is hitting Switch sometime this fall. View a trailer for the game below.
