Best retro Nintendo games to play on Switch 2 and Switch
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
When you think of Nintendo Switch 2, you’re probably thinking of all the new games confirmed for the system – and that’s completely understandable. Generally speaking, Nintendo releases one new major title per month to spread them out. If you’ve played tons of Nintendo Switch games and finished the latest Switch 2 game, what are you supposed to play in the time between? That’s where Switch Online’s Nintendo Classic range comes in.
Nintendo has added a lot of games to their NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance platforms, and it’s a great idea to try out some older titles while you wait for the next new one. Their lineup of retro games is about to get a whole lot better, too: not only are GameCube games starting to release on the system, but it’s also got a built-in microphone, which theoretically makes Nintendo DS games possible as well. So today, we’re going over some of the best offerings on Nintendo Switch Online plus some new games Nintendo could realistically add over the Switch 2’s (hopefully) long lifespan.

Tales of Xillia Remastered reveals Nintendo Switch frame rate, resolution
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Following up on this week’s announcement of Tales of Xillia Remastered, Bandai Namco has confirmed the game’s frame rate and resolution on Nintendo Switch.
Frame rate is where fans might be disappointed with the final result. It turns out that the RPG will run at 30 FPS on Nintendo’s platform (and that could fluctuate depending on what’s happening on screen). As it turns out, this is actually a downgrade from the original PlayStation 3 release. Much of the game did run at 30 FPS back in the day, but battles were 60 FPS – and it would have been great to see something similar on Nintendo Switch.

The game’s performance when not running docked has been a big question mark thus far.
