Shin’en says Nintendo Switch 2 power allowed for new rendering tech in Fast Fusion, talks implementing GameShare
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Speaking in an interview with Nintendo Everything, Shin’en CEO Manfred Linzner revealed that the team is using “completely new rendering tech” in its upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 launch game Fast Fusion.
Linzner was talking about the capabilities of the console when that tidbit was shared. “It’s amazing how much power you can get out of a device that also works as a handheld,” he said. And because of that power, we should be seeing a better looking title compared to the studio’s Switch 1 launch title Fast RMX. Linzner told us that compared to that game, Fast Fusion will have a world that’s “much more alive and beautiful.”

American Arcadia review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Jeremy in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 15, 2025
Developer: Out of the Blue Games
Publisher: Raw Fury
What if Walt Disney created the Truman Show? And what if instead of following the life of one man, it chronicled the lives of an entire city? What if the audience could pick and choose which citizens to watch, vote for their favorite “characters,” and create entire social media followings for unassuming victims just living their lives? What if the company running this insulated city could track which of its citizens were the most popular? How far would the company go to maximize their profits, and what might they do to cut costs when certain residents fail to garner any audience attention at all? These questions lay the groundwork for Out of the Blue Games’ American Arcadia.
