Dynasty Warriors Origins is 30 FPS on Nintendo Switch 2, Koei Tecmo explains why
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
When Dynasty Warriors Origins comes to Nintendo Switch 2 early next year, it’ll run at 30 frames per second. Koei Tecmo has now commented on why that is.
Dynasty Warriors Origins originally ran at 60 FPS on other platforms. Technically, Nintendo Switch 2 could do this as well. Omega Force brand head Tomohiko Sho has indicated that 60 FPS would be possible on the console if they cut back on the amount of soldiers comparable to previous entries in the series.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection appears to be getting amiibo

September 25: There technically hasn’t been an official announcement, but it looks like fans can expect new amiibo for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.
Capcom is at the 2025 Tokyo Game Show this week, and the company has three new figures on display. Specifically, there are three that are being shown off. This is especially interesting as we haven’t heard about any of them – until now. It does make sense as Capcom supported the series’ previous entries with amiibo.
Here’s a look at the different figures, courtesy of the following photo snapped by RodimusPrimal82:

Capcom explains why it’s releasing three Resident Evil games at the same time on Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
If you watched the most recent Nintendo Direct, you likely saw the news that Capcom is bringing not one, but three Resident Evil games to Nintendo Switch 2 early next year. The system will be getting Resident Evil 7, Village, and Requiem at the same time.
Capcom’s Masato Kumazawa has now spoken about what went into that decision as part of a recent interview. That discussion reveals that the company first prototyped Resident Evil Village on Nintendo Switch 2, and after seeing the positive results, wanted to try porting Requiem. Capcom felt the results there were also promising, and decided to throw in Resident Evil 7 as well. Having them all ready at the same time made sense for Capcom so that players could “just jump in” and start at 7 or with the series’ newest entry.

Square Enix has been on a tear with Dragon Quest remakes as of late. Last year, we saw Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. That’ll be followed up with Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake next month.
