Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 0 comments
Payday 2 finally landed on Switch this week (late last week for folks in Europe). Digital Foundry is back again to look at how the game is from a technical perspective, and unfortunately, the optimization here is lacking compared to its console counterparts.
Digital Foundry first tackles resolution. When docked, Payday 2 runs at 1600×900 and 720p in portable mode.

Thomas Brush started a Kickstarter campaign in hopes of funding his new project Once Upon a Coma. In just one day, the target goal was reached. Once Upon a Coma has also now hit a $60,000 Switch stretch goal, meaning it will be developed for Nintendo’s console.
The game begins as main character Pete wakes from a strange coma, only to find that things aren’t as he remembers. You’ll be exploring a strange and terrifying land, fighting against some scary enemies with your trusty barber’s blade, and more.

Peter Molyneux’s The Trail: Frontier Challenge sees stealth launch on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Update: Bumped to the top. The Trail: Frontier Challenge will launch in the Americas on March 8.
Original: Last year, The Trail: Frontier Challenge from Kongregate and 22cans released on Steam. Much like with Outlast yesterday, out of nowhere, the exploration-driven simulation game has now unexpectedly landed on Switch. This case is even stranger as we previously had no idea that The Trail would be making its way to Nintendo’s console.
The Trail: Frontier Challenge is a reworked version of 22cans’ mobile title that first appeared a couple of years ago. Peter Molyneux, the creator of Fable, Populous, Black & White, and other games, founded 22cans in 2012.
