Nintendo Switch Online featuring new wave of Super Mario Odyssey icons
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
When the icons feature for Nintendo Switch Online kicked off a few months ago, Super Mario Odyssey was one of the earliest featured games. We’re now in July, and for this month, Nintendo has again decided to revisit the title rather than going with a brand new one.
While that’ll be disappointing to some, we’ll at least be seeing some new designs this time around. The first batch just went live and features Mario, Peach, and Bowser in wedding attire, 8-bit icons, and more. Icon elements will be rotated on a weekly basis each Monday until August 1.
Why Switch ports still are relevant
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
In the recent Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, we saw a good amount of new third-party games being announced for Switch, including some big ones such as NieR: Automata and Persona 3, 4 and 5.
As we are all aware, Switch is not as powerful as other consoles on the market. Usually its ports come to the console with some visual compromises. But even with those compromises, at least on Switch you are able to play these games wherever you want. However, with the recent release of Valve’s Steam Deck, it’s interesting to think about whether that can impact Switch’s position in the market.
In the video below I explain my reasons as to why I think Switch ports are still relevant and a viable option for a number of players. Feel free to check it out down below.
