Take-Two gives an official statement on WWE 2K19 skipping Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Bobby in News | 0 comments
We’ve known for a while now that WWE 2K19 wouldn’t be coming to Switch, but an official statement has come out from Take-Two giving a little bit of reasoning behind this decision:
“The game will not be available on Nintendo Switch. 2K is focused on making the best possible experience for WWE 2K fans and will continue evaluating all opportunities to deliver the franchise across additional platforms.”
It’s likely that WWE 2K18’s poor launch on Switch influenced this decision, as Take-Two probably did not want to provide an equally mediocre experience for players. The last WWE game to launch on a Nintendo console was 2K13, so there’s always hope for a revival sometime in the future.

Smash Bros. Ultimate estimated to take up at least 16GB of space
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Smash Bros. Ultimate received an official listing on Nintendo’s Japanese store today. On it, we’re given a rough idea about the game’s file size. Nintendo says that at least 16GB of free space will be needed.
We’re several months away from Smash Bros. Ultimate’s launch, and the game is almost certainly still in development. That means it’s impossible to tell at the moment just how much space will be required in the end. Don’t expect a final number until much later in 2018.
Smash Bros. Ultimate will release on December 7 worldwide.
