Furi’s frame rate on Switch is “very similar” to the PlayStation 4 version

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments

After it was announced last month, Furi launches on Switch in January. The Game Bakers shared one technical tidbit about the game on Twitter.

According to the studio, Furi doesn’t actually have a fixed frame rate on any platform including Switch. The game won’t run at a steady 60FPS on Nintendo’s console. However, The Game Bakers did say that while there are drops, it’ll be “very similar” to the PlayStation 4 version. The team also spent months ensuring that gameplay won’t be impacted.

Actually, the framerate is not fix on any platform. It’s not steady 60FPS on Switch but it’s a very similar framerate to the PS4 (there are some drops but they don’t affect gameplay too much). We spent a lot of time (months!) making sure it wouldn’t impact the gameplay.

Race Mode is something we've wanted to do since Meat Boy came out in 2010. We figured the Switch was a good time to test it out. It's fun:)

Square Enix on the long process of re-releasing Romancing SaGa 2, sticking with pixel art, more

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 5 Comments

Last week’s launch of Romancing SaGa 2 on Switch was pretty monumental. It was actually the first time the RPG released outside of Japan on dedicated gaming platforms. It’s mostly the same game as the Super Famicom title, but with a few extras like updated graphics and audio, new character classes, a new dungeon, and New Game+.

Prior to this week’s launch, VG247 caught up with producer Masanori Ichikawa original director Akitoshi Kawazu to talk about Square Enix’s classic. They commented on a variety of topics, including the amount of work involved needed to re-release Romancing SaGa 2, the decision to stick with pixel art as opposed to going the 3D route, and more.

You can read a few excerpts from the interview below. For the full discussion, head on over here.
