Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 deactivates Switch’s screenshot function during cutscenes
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 17 Comments
It seems like Bandai Namco added a curious limitation to the Switch version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. The game deactivates the system’s share button during cutscenes, meaning you’re unable to take screenshots of those moments. This was presumably done to prevent spoilers from being spread on social media, but it seems like a strange decision given that the game has been out on other systems for a while now and isn’t exactly narrative-driven to begin with.
It remains to be seen if Bandai Namco will do the same with other Switch games in the future, and if other developers will follow their example.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap on Switch sold more than all other versions combined
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch eShop | 18 Comments
The folks over at Gamasutra recently talked to several indie developers about the Switch – about what’s like to develop for the system, how Nintendo got into contact with them, and so on. One of the developers they interviewed was Omar Cornut from Lizardcube, the team responsible for Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap. It seems the game did quite well on the Switch – Cornut said that they sold “more copies of Wonder Boy on the Switch than the three other platforms we released on combined”. Definitely a sign of a smaller games library and thus more exposure for smaller titles, but good news nonetheless for developers and Nintendo alike.
“Play, Doujin!” project expanded to include Switch, distributing fan-created Touhou games
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 19 Comments
“Play, Doujin!” is a distribution platform for fangames that was launched three years ago as a collaboration between Sony and Touhou Project creator Zun. Now, the service is extending its support to include Switch games as well. As such, you can expect to see more indie games from Japan coming to the system, especially Touhou games since that was the initial focus of the “Play, Doujin!” project.
The first such game coming to the Switch will be the 3D shoot‘em up fighter Touhou Kobuto V, which was developed by Cubetype and is being published by NIS America. As you can see by NIS America’s involvement, the “Play, Doujin!” project on Switch won’t be limited to just Japan, but plans to bring some of its games to the West as well.

We’re nearing the end of the week, which means it’s time for another new weapon in Splatoon 2. The Custom Splattershot Jr. will be added to the game soon – it’ll be available tomorrow at midday in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and late at night tonight in North America. The stats of this weapon are exactly the same as those of the regular Splattershot Jr., but the Custom version comes with the Autobomb sub-weapon and the Ink Storm special weapon.
