Enter the Gungeon out on Switch this fall, will be getting update DLC
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
Enter the Gungeon was one of the anticipated games announced for Switch several months back. We haven’t heard too much about the port in recent times, but some news was shared as part of an update for Steam players.
Right now the plan is to have Enter the Gungeon on Switch this fall. The team also hopes to ready the big content patch Advanced Gungeons & Draguns around the same time as the PC version. This will include “requested changes, quality of life and convenience features, hundreds of new and substantially more powerful synergies, a bunch of new guns and items, and getting revenge on the Gungeon’s most hated resident, our new boss.” Players can also expect “new rooms, npcs, secrets, and a new mini-boss”.

FIFA 18 will run at 60 frames per second on Switch in both docked and portable modes
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 20 Comments
FIFA 18 should be a smooth experience all around on Switch. In both docked and portable modes, the game will run at 60 frames per second.
Supervising producer Andrei Lazarescu also confirmed that FIFA 18 will feature a 1080p resolution when docked. In portable mode, the game is 720p.
Lazarescu said:
“We spent a lot of time actually understanding what the console is. In dock, what we’re seeing right now, for example, is 1080p run running at 60 frames per second. When you plug out and you play in handheld it’s 720p. We spent a lot of time making sure that transition happens seamlessly and you still get 60 frames per second.”
