Yesterday, a listing was spotted on Amazon that showed a physical version of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled – Nitros Oxide Edition for Europe. Activision had previously said that this version would be digital-only.
As it turns out, there are also plans to sell the Nitros Oxide Edition physically in North America. The only downside? It’ll apparently be GameStop exclusive – at least according to the official listing here. Alongside the game itself and extra content, you’ll also receive a set of pins.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is due out on June 21.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes director Suda51 has revealed another upcoming t-shirt for the game. A design based on Siren is planned, though it’s unclear when exactly it’ll be added. We could be seeing the shirt in time for the next DLC release.
Siren is a series of games that started out on the PlayStation 2. What makes this situation particularly interesting is that Sony is the publisher of the horror franchise. Suda51 didn’t say how the collaboration with Travis Strikes Again was made possible, but it’s happening nonetheless.

Mortal Kombat 11 targeting 60 frames per second on Switch
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Mortal Kombat 11 is playable on Switch at PAX East 2019 this weekend. The only downside? No one has been allowed to record footage.
No one seems to have answer as to why video recording is prohibited. By all accounts, those who have gone hands-on with the game say that the Switch version is shaping up well. The frame rate is apparently solid and stacks up to footage we’ve seen on other consoles previously. And speaking of the frame rate, the team says it’s targeting 60 FPS on Switch.
Mortal Kombat 11 has less than a month to go until launch, with its release scheduled for April 23.
