Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Atooi has announced that it’s given Dementium: The Ward a new update that adds a new Hi-Res display mode option.
The horror title, a horror first-person shooter, returned on Switch last October. It originally released with only a retro display mode featuring a cozy, crunchy retro style that essentially emulated the 3DS display at 240p. However, now players can experience the game at full 1080p on a TV or 720p in handheld mode with the action still running at 60 frames per second.

[Let’s Talk] Favorite E3 memories
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
With E3 officially coming to a permanent end this week, now’s a good time for reflection. The expo was home to some of the most memorable moments and that’s something we want to dive into.
For Nintendo, there were plenty of memorable moments over the years. It was where the company showed off new hardware like the 3DS and Wii U. It also gave us some massive announcements such as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which may never be topped in terms of reaction. Even outside of reveals, there were other memorable moments such as Reggie Fils-Aime’s first major appearance. When Nintendo moved to digital presentations in later years, we still got some special presentations like with Robot Chicken and The Jim Henson Company.
So what were your favorite E3 moments over the past couple of decades? Let us know in the comments.
