tinyBuild shares an update on Mr. Shifty’s optimization patch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
tinyBuild has been hard at work on a patch for Mr. Shifty. Once released, it should improve the game’s performance – specifically frame rate. The team was hoping to have it ready this week, but it’s taking a bit longer than expected.
tinyBuild CEO Alex Nichiporchik said today that the “patch is simply too big. This is because the Unity plugin we’re using for export is brand new, and tends to package in a bit too many unnecessary information, bloating the size.” tinyBuild is now working with Unity to address this as well as reduce the overall size of Mr. Shifty on Switch.
When we have more news to report about the patch, we’ll let you know.

Rime: digital version is not getting a price drop in Australia
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
Some unfortunate news for you Australians out there: There has been a bit of controversy recently over the price of the Switch version of Rime, which was initially announced as costing more than other versions of the game. Yesterday, publisher Grey Box announced that the digital Switch version of the game is now going to cost $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99 instead of $39.99 / €44.99 / £39.99 in North America, Europe and the UK, respectively, while the physical versions will remain at the higher price point, but come with a download code for the game’s soundtrack.
Vooks inquired about the situation in the Australian market – and as it turns out, the digital version is not getting a price drop there. Both the digital and the physical version will cost $79.95AU. Like in other regions, however, the physical version will come with a download code for the soundtrack.
Luckily the Switch is region free, so Australians can just access another region’s eShop and download the game there at a lower price point.
Dragon Quest XI: monster mount system detailed
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News, Switch | 5 Comments
The most recent issue of Weekly Jump magazine has introduced another new Dragon Quest XI feature – monster mounts. When defeating certain monsters in battle, you will occasionally be able to mount them. This will give you the ability to overcome various obstacles in the world and reach places you couldn’t get to on your own. Here are some examples of mounts and what you can do with them:
Dragon Rider: By riding this flying mount, you can obviously get to places you couldn’t reach on foot.
Skull Rider: You can climb up cliffs and dungeon walls using this mount.
Other than these familiar faces, there are also brand new monsters that you can ride:
Pearl Mobile: A mysterious machine that looks to be made out of a kind of metal resembling pearls. Riding it lets you leap to high places.
Bee Rider: An elite Ocobolt soldier riding a giant bee. By riding one yourself, it will allow you to cross lakes by simply flying over them.
