PES 2018 won’t be on Switch, but Konami open to supporting the system with future entries
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 13 Comments
Konami has ruled out Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 for Switch. However, the company seems open to bringing the series over in the future.
Global product and brand manager Adam Bhatti told Eurogamer:
“One thing that I will say about the Switch is, we’re getting asked that quite a lot. The fact is, we’ve announced all the platforms that PES 2018 is coming to. But as I’ve been saying to a lot of people, we have a great relationship with Nintendo – we’ve obviously brought out Bomberman which has done fantastic for the Switch. So as a company it’s a platform that we’re looking at, for sure. So for PES it’s just – we never want to say no, we never want to close the door. Let’s see how it goes. Personally speaking, I love the machine. We think it’s definitely performed amazingly well. And we really hope that it continues to do very well.”
Pro Evolution Soccer 2018’s assistant producer Kei Masuda also said: “We always like to hear what the fans think as well, depending on the amount of reactions we get then we definitely would like to look into it.”
If you’re looking for a soccer fix on Switch this year, EA has you covered. FIFA 18 will be releasing on September 29.

Snake Pass’ new update causing excessive Joy-Con rumbling, Sumo working on a fix
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
Sumo Digital introduced Time Trials and leaderboards to the Switch version of Snake Pass this week with version 1.2. However, players quickly began to notice an issue with the Joy-Con. After applying the patch, the controllers have a tendency to rumble excessively.
The good news is that Sumo already identified the problem and has a fix in the works. Another update should be distributed soon.
Sumo wrote on its website:
“As many of you know, on Wednesday Snake Pass Update 1.2 was released across all platforms. Whilst there’s been plenty of incredible feedback we also aware that some of you have had some issues with the update. Most notably we’re aware that a number of users on the Nintendo Switch have been experience excessive rumbling of the Joy-Con controllers. We just wanted to let you all known in an official capacity that this is an issue we’re very aware of. You’ll be thrilled to know that we’ve identified the issue that is causing this problem and are working as quickly as possible to get a hotfix out to resolve it as soon as we possibly can.
We apologies for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding with this matter. Hold on tight!”

Michel Ancel lists Beyond Good & Evil 2 platforms, Switch not included
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 2 Comments
Since the re-reveal of Beyond Good & Evil 2 at E3 last week, a Switch version really started to look uncertain. Though we maintained a small glimmer of hope about the game releasing on the system, things are even more doubtful now.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 creator Michel Ancel posted a message on his Facebook page today with some news about the project. Platforms were listed in his message, and sadly, Switch is nowhere to be seen.
Given what we’ve learned about Beyond Good & Evil 2 over the past week or so, this was somewhat expected. It’s just a shame that the original rumors were entirely off the mark.
