Though there hasn’t been an official announcement as of yet, it’s looking like Mantis Burn Racing could be receiving a physical release in the west. The game received a new rating from the ESRB not too long ago, with PM Studios listed as publisher. PM Studios has brought out physical versions of Switch eShop titles, including Voez and Mercenaries Saga Chronicles.

Mantis Burn Racing does actually have a physical copy, but only in Asia. Flyhigh Works handled the release in that territory.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Darksiders Warmastered Edition lets you choose between High Quality / High Performance modes

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Fire Emblem Warriors is one Switch game that lets you choose between two technical modes. One favors frame rate while the other emphasizes resolution. This isn’t something we’ve seen with many Switch titles, but Darksiders Warmastered Edition is another game that makes use of similar functionality.

While playing Darksiders Warmastered Edition, you can choose between High Quality and High Performance modes. The former uses a 720p / 1080p native resolution and hovers around 25 – 30 frames per second. If you go with High Performance mode instead, the resolution will be lower but the frame rate jumps up to 50 – 60 FPS.

Darksiders Warmastered Edition launches for Switch on April 2.
