Pokemon Unite dev explains lack of scoreboard
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
If you’ve played Pokemon Unite, you’ve probably noticed that the game doesn’t have a scoreboard. That can make it difficult to determine who’s winning a match while it’s in progress. Once a match is over, that’s when everything gets tallied up and a winner is chosen.
It turns out that the lack of a scoreboard in Pokemon Unite was a conscious decision made by the development team. Speaking with Kotaku, producer Masaaki Hoshino explained: “The matches last 10 minutes and players have the possibility of making a comeback, so we wanted people to play without giving up to the very end.”

GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition physical version has a download requirement on Switch
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Those that are interested in picking up the physical version of GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition on Switch may be disappointed to hear that a download will be required. That news comes directly from the game’s boxart, which was posted by Target today. You can check out the design above.
Based on the download requirement, it looks like GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition cannot be played on its own if you purchase the physical version. The game’s file size is just over 25GB, so it looks like Rockstar opted against going for a bigger cartridge size. This often happens, though we did see The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt entirely on the cartridge despite clocking in at over 31GB.
