Warner Bros. exec initially had some concerns that Mortal Kombat 11 would be too mature for Switch
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Scott Hawkins, head of the developer relations team at Nintendo of America, delivered a talk during BIG Digital 2020. His presentation was primarily aimed at studios potentially interested in bringing their games to Switch, but he also shared an interesting anecdote about Mortal Kombat 11.
While Mortal Kombat 11 was in early development on Switch, Hawkins met with the team and was chatting with an executive at Warner Bros. We don’t know who exactly this person was, but they were “concerned because it’s a mature-rated title that it wouldn’t be Nintendo-friendly.” Mortal Kombat 11 was ultimately “a big success” on Switch, so Hawkins used this story to demonstrate that you can find “an audience for lots of different types of content on the platform”.
Hawkins’ full comments are as follows:

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Kamen Rider: Memory of Heroez arrives on Switch later this month. While it’ll only be offered in Japan and Asia, the situation could actually be much worse.
Like a number of other Bandai Namco titles, Kamen Rider: Memory of Heroez will fully support English thanks to its release in Asia. That means even though a western version isn’t in the cards (at least not yet), importing is very much an option.
You can pre-order Kamen Rider: Memory of Heroez ahead of its release on October 29 here. It’ll fully work on any Switch system and can be played entirely in English.

Merge Games shares statement on Cloudpunk, including update plans and Switch version
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Cloudpunk made it to Switch this week, but not without some controversy. Some have taken notice that screenshots shown on the eShop aren’t entirely representative of how it looks on Nintendo’s console. There’s also been talk of the frame rate struggling a bit.
Merge Games, the publisher of Cloudpunk, has now issued a lengthy statement about the game. The company says it’s working on a patch to improve stability and performance as well as to address a quest issue.
As for Switch, Merge apologized “to the community who feel misled by the lack of parity between Switch and other platforms,” explaining that “this version has been difficult to optimize due to the system’s technical limitations”. The good news is that Merge will continue to put in work to make the Switch version “as close as possible to the other platforms”.
The full statement reads:
