AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative comparison

AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative has officially launched on Switch, though it’s also out elsewhere as well – and we’ve readied a new graphical comparison video. PC is the other platform we’ve decided to use here.

Thankfully, as you’ll see in the video, Spike Chunsoft seems to have done an admirable job with the Switch version. All of the assets are here without much in the way of changes. You’ll get a higher resolution and frame rate on PC, but those are the main differences.

Mario Strikers Battle League review

System: Switch
Release date: June 10, 2022
Developer: Next Level Games
Publisher: Nintendo


With its previous outings on GameCube and Wii, Mario had his own take on soccer (or football) that felt exciting and fresh at the time. A cast of characters from the franchise made up a roster for players to choose from and jump into a field with the basic rules of the sport in place, but with a few more mechanics that would further excite the gameplay – elements like specials, tackles, and specialized stadiums that certainly made the entire experience feel very, well, Mario. With little to no fouls to worry about, Mario Strikers was always a frenetic perspective on the traditional sport. Mario Strikers: Battle League has increased that chaos tenfold mechanically but does little elsewhere to warrant any sort of prolonged investment that prior entries to the series had before. While the game has a lot going for it, there feels like untapped potential has been left on the table.
