Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition tech analysis and Wii U / New 3DS comparison
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, Switch, Videos, Wii U | 0 comments
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition made it to the west a few weeks ago. Digital Foundry took a closer look at the game from a technical perspective, and compared it to the Wii U original and New 3DS version in a video published today.
As far as resolution is concerned, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is 1080p when docked. For the Wii U and New 3DS versions, 30 frames per second was the target. The new Switch version attempts to hit 60 FPS, but there are unfortunately many significant dips. Digital Foundry adds that 60 FPS is rarely met, though it’s still the better experience.

Nintendo bans some Splatoon 2 players who hacked in Octolings and used them online
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Octolings won’t be playable in Splatoon 2 until Octo Expansion arrives this summer. However, some folks have managed to hack them into the game in large part because files for these characters already exist. A few players who have done this have also gone online as Octolings, which Nintendo apparently wasn’t happy about.
We’re hearing reports that some players who hacked in Octolings have been banned by Nintendo. The company is sending out emails about the restriction that affects all of Splatoon 2’s online multiplayer.
