With all of the news coming out of E3 2019, it’d be easy to forget about a title that was announced for Switch only a month ago. Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is on the way and will launch in 2019.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered will have a physical edition. However, it’s looking like it will be retailer-exclusive. According to an entry in GameStop’s internal database, this will be the only store selling Ghostbusters for Switch at retail.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will have a limit on the Pokemon that can be brought into the games from past titles. If a creature isn’t included in the Galar Pokedex, it can’t be transferred.
After the news was shared, many fans have made their disappointment known. This has now prompted Game Freak to issue an official statement. The developer’s Junichi Masuda called the move “a very difficult decision”, but says Pokemon that aren’t available in Pokemon Sword/Shield could return in future titles.
Here’s the full statement:

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Switch tech analysis, PS4 / Xbox One comparison
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Digital Foundry has taken a closer look at the Switch version of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Specifically, the game’s technical performance has been examined in greater detail.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is 16GB on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Meanwhile, the Switch version is about 6GB. How’d the team managed to shrink the game’s file size? Part of this can be attributed to slightly lower-quality pre-encoded videos. If you’re playing in handheld mode in particular, this is something you probably won’t notice easily.
