Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 4 Comments
Digital Foundry has taken an in-depth look at the newly-released Switch game Thumper.
On Switch, it runs at a full 1080p docked and 720p handheld resolution as promised. It also maintains a steady 60 frames per second. Thumper may have lost some effects from the PlayStation 4 version, but many will likely be unaware that they’re missing in the first place. Digital Foundry also has high praise for the anti-aliasing used on Switch and the port overall.

Angry Video Game Nerd II won’t be on consoles
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 6 Comments
It’s rare for us to talk about games that aren’t planned for Nintendo platforms these days, though we’ll make an exception for Angry Video Game Nerd II. The first game ended up on both Wii U and 3DS, and it was widely assumed that we’d be seeing the sequel on at least one of the big N’s systems. However, it looks like that won’t be happening.
ScrewAttack’s Austin Harper told Real Otaku Gamer that Angry Video Game Nerd II won’t be ported to consoles following the reception on PC. ScrewAttack is also no longer acting as the game’s publisher.
The company’s full statement reads:
“Unfortunately, the response to AVGNII: ASSimilation on PC did not lead us to believe that porting the game to home consoles would be a proper use of our resources. ScrewAttack Games has actually stepped down as a publisher and are supporting Rooster Teeth Games as they begin to develop their third-party publishing branch, starting with the launch of their new game Battlesloths 2025: The Great Pizza Wars.”
