Rumor: Nintendo software engineer indicates Bandai Namco working on Smash Bros. Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Tiago Sonobe worked at Bandai Namco between April 2014 and August 2016 as a software engineer and graphics programmer. That same month, he moved over to Nintendo – also as a software engineer.
Sonobe’s work history is notable due to an apparent tweet which has now been deleted (and his account as well). In his message, Sonobe mentions that he left Bandai Namco before the production on Smash Bros. Switch started. However, he further says he created the rendering engine it’s built on.

Hulu app on Switch adds live TV guide
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Hulu’s live TV service has been available on various platforms for over a year. Following feedback, the interface has been adjusted so that users can more easily find what’s on now. Best of all, CNET reports that the new guide is available on Switch.
To access the guide, go to the “Live TV” lightning bolt tab at the top of the home screen. According to CNET, “Rather than a full-on grid, it shows what’s playing now on five channels at a time in a vertical stack, but only the currently selected channel extends to the right to display future shows.”
Users can choose to display either all of the channels available or just the ten most recent ones. However, you can’t manually designate favorite channels.
