Oh… Sir! The Hollywood Roast was temporarily removed from the Switch eShop for a ratings update
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Last month, we heard that Oh… Sir! The Hollywood Roast had been pulled from the North American Switch eShop. Now Good Shephard Entertainment has clarified why.
As we’ve seen with a few titles in the past, the game’s removal can be attributed to a ratings update.Good Shephard Entertainment confirmed on Twitter:
Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast is temporarily unavailable on the Nintendo Switch due to a ratings update. Thank you for the patience. Your mother will let you know when we start up the insults again 😉

It’s been over a month since Oh… Sir! The Hollywood Roast was removed, so we assume it won’t be much longer until it returns.
Thanks to James M for the tip.
Undertale will release on Switch this year
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Undertale, a massively successful RPG from Toby Fox, was announced for Switch during this week’s Nintendo Direct. The reveal was very short though, and we only heard that it would be released “eventually”.
If you had any concerns about Undertale missing a 2018 launch on Switch, you don’t have to worry any longer. We now have confirmation that it’s arriving sometime this year. It’s far from a specific release window, but it’s certainly better than “eventually”.

We originally thought that VA-11 HALL-A would be coming to Switch around a year ago. That didn’t happen in the end, though it looks like a port is now going to happen after all.
Kiririn51, artist and designer at Sukeban Games, has indicated that plans for a Switch version are in motion. The following details were shared:

Psyvariar Restoration heading to Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
In the past year, City Connection has revitalized the Soldam and Penguin Wars series. The company now appears to be bringing back another classic IP: Psyvariar.
In an announcement covering this week’s news from the Nintendo Direct, Nintendo Hong Kong also includes a release schedule. “Psyvariar Restoration” is one of the titles listed. It’s on track for a July launch, though it should be released in other territories as well.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any details about Psyvariar Restoration just yet. The game originally debuted on arcades way back in 2000 (with other enhanced versions following later, including a new mobile version called Psyvariar Reassemble a couple of years ago) and featured vertical shooter gameplay. We’ll keep you updated on any news regarding Psyvariar Restoration in the future.

A closer look at WWE 2K18’s technical disappointments on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 0 comments
We’ve seen a number of impressive Switch ports over the past year such as Doom. On the other end of the spectrum, WWE 2K18 is proably the biggest disappointment. Digital Foundry has explored the Switch version in detail and unfortunately, even after patches, it’s a rather big mess.
WWE 2K18’s frame rate on Switch just isn’t up to snuff. When the frame rate dips, the whole game as a whole slows down. That can cause problems for audio since you may hear a character speak, only to see his lips finally move a few seconds later – so things are out of sync.
