Digital Foundry has taken an early look at Yoshi’s Crafted World to check in on the game from a technical standpoint. It’s particularly noteworthy since this is an Unreal Engine 4 release.

Like a number of other Switch titles we’ve seen, Yoshi’s Crafted World has a dynamic resolution. When docked, expect resolutions of around 576p and 675p. Portable mode reduces things further to roughly 396p and 495p. These numbers may lower further or increase depending on what’s happening on screen.

New footage has come in for Yoshi’s Crafted World, which launches on Switch next month. We’ve rounded up some of today’s gameplay below.

Much like Famitsu has done in the past, Japanese magazine CoroCoro recently held a contest in Japan in which fans were given an opportunity to design new gear for Splatoon 2. The winning entry has now been announced.

Known as the “Mecha Gear”, Nintendo will turn the design pictured above into gear that can be used in the game itself. Those who purchase the May issue of CoroCoro will find a download code for the new content. The upcoming magazine goes on sale starting April 25.
