Red Barrels conducted a Reddit AMA this week all about Outlast on Switch. Philippe Morin, co-founder and senior game designer, as well as senior programmer Mathieu Gauthier participated.
Between the two, they spoke about how the games have been selling on Switch, porting them to the console, why they run at 30 frames per second rather than 60, and more. We’ve rounded up some of the more noteworthy comments below.

The back and forth between Nintendo and the NCC over eShop pre-orders continues

The Norwegian Consumer Council has taken issue with Nintendo – as well as a few other gaming companies – with its approach to digital purchases. When pre-ordering any game from the eShop, it’s impossible to cancel. You’re locked in to that purchase, which the Norwegian Consumer Council isn’t happy with.
The two sides have been going back and forth, with Nintendo stating that it isn’t breaking any European laws. PressFire now has the latest on the situation. Nintendo is doubling down and says that they aren’t in agreement with the NCC and says the sales contract is fulfilled since you’re able to pre-load the game immediately after pre-ordering.
Here’s a translated breakdown of the report, courtesy of Fawesum:

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Zen Pinball Pinball FX3 is getting a “major update” next week, Zen Studios has announced. Players will be able to download the patch on May 3.
Zen Studios hasn’t outlined the full specifics, but Pinball FX3 will soon be able to run at 60 frames per second in handheld mode. And when docked, it should run at full 1080p.
Note that when the patch goes live, old saved games will be wiped, so players are encouraged to complete all games in progress on each table before updating.
