13AM Games has been keeping Runbow updated over the past year with new content, but now the studio has confirmed that DLC is coming to an end. Shantae is the latest addition to the game, and now they’re just about ready to move on.

Now the question is: what’s Runbow’s future? It’s been a success for 13AM Games, so that’s something the team is trying to figure out currently.

In an interview with Hardcore Gamer, the developer mentioned:

“We are still figuring out where we are going to take this IP next. There’s a lot that can be done and we love all different types of games. We’ve had fans requests RPGs and Fighting Games in the Runbow family, but the flip side is that it might be nice to work on something else for a bit. I know it’s not much of a concrete answer, but the truth is we are still figuring it out!”

Whatever 13AM Games ends up doing with Runbow, it’ll likely be a hit. Runbow was one of the more successful indie games on Wii U.

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.

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.

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.
