Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Nostatic Software has been busy porting some of its Wii U titles to 3DS. That’s continuing with the “Quiet, Please!” series of adventure games. Last year, The Quiet Collection released on the Wii U eShop.
Creator Mike Oliphant wrote on Twitter yesterday:
Getting them to run on the original 3DS is proving to be a challenge, but I think we'll be able to get there.

Rumor: Switch trailer prototype powered by USB-C, can’t charge while using the kickstand
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 62 Comments
The Switch’s main portable unit contains a port towards the bottom center of the device. Wondering what that’s for? According to a source speaking with Let’s Play Video Games as well as someone “close to the production of the reveal trailer”, that’s a USB-C port used to charge the handheld while away from the Switch Dock. However, due to its position, it won’t be possible to charge Switch when the kickstand is in use.
Early reports about Switch indicate that it doesn’t have the best battery life out there. By going from a proprietary charger standard to a high-capacity, non-proprietary cable Nintendo may be looking to improve things for gamers. This would allow for Switch to be quickly charged using a portable battery pack or a USB port.

Rumor: Switch Dock won’t allow for external USB drives
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 71 Comments
Earlier today, Let’s Play Video Games reported that Switch would support microSD cards with a capacity of up to 128MB. The site now adds that Nintendo doesn’t intend to support hard drives as a means of expanding system shortage.
Apparently, Nintendo has some internal concerns that allowing users to attach large external drives to the Dock will cause players to see the system as less inherently portable. That would ultimately damage the company’s core branding of the system being a portable home console. Nintendo also wants players to have the option to disconnect the handheld from the Dock at any point without having to wait for games, save data, or other information to sync.
Nintendo’s way of going about it all is by only allowing data to be stored on the handheld. When you disconnect Switch from the Dock, all the same data is available to the player.

Rumor: Switch features 6.2″ 720p multi-touch screen
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 23 Comments
Eurogamer has published a new report with alleged information about Switch.
After contacting several sources, the site has learned that the screen is 6.2″ in size, has a 720p resolution, and features a capacitive multi-touch screen. This is in contrast to Wii U and 3DS which provide resistive touchscreens, reliant on pressure and less precise – not to mention single-touch. With Switch’s screen containing a 10-point multitouch display, multi-finger gestures are supported.
The big question is how touch works when Switch is docked. It may come down to the right JoyCon controller, which has a short-range IR sensor in its base. This may be used to point at the TV to replicate basic touchscreen functionality.
Laura Kate Dale previously claimed that Switch will have a multi-touch screen. Emily Rogers has also reported similar information.

Kimishima talks a bit more about Switch and more, says Nintendo is “interested in VR”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 36 Comments
Last week, Nintendo revealed Switch with a three-minute preview trailer. The company also just confirmed yesterday that a special event will be held on January 12 (January 13 in other parts of the world) as part of a proper blowout. Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima reiterated to Bloomberg of the initial video: “By no means was that everything”.
Nintendo’s stock started out strong following the announcement, but has taken a bit of a tumble since. Speaking about that, Kimishima said: “To tell you the truth, I was surprised. I don’t understand why.”
Kimishima also said the following about Switch:
