Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 28 Comments
Gadgets 360 is reporting that Nintendo employees have been visiting India as it evaluates games from studios for potential release on its platforms. Bengaluru-based Holy Cow Productions posted a message on Facebook earlier today backing up the claim:
Nintendo hasn’t had much of a presence in India, and the Switch isn’t actually available for purchase at the moment. Still, the system is still being sold unofficially online and offline. Gadgets 360 has also heard from a buyer for a large format retail chain, “We see more customers asking for the Nintendo Switch than they do for the PS4 or Xbox One.”

Dragon Quest Builders Switch tech analysis
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 15 Comments
A new video from Digital Foundry examines the Switch version of Dragon Quest Builders. We’re able to get a better idea regarding how the game holds up technically, and how it compares to the PlayStation 4 version.
Dragon Quest Builders runs at 720 when docked rather than going for a higher resolution. That’s because the developers were targeting 60 frames per second. Also, this allowed for much of the visual quality from the PlayStation 4 version to be preserved.
Reggie says Nintendo Labo isn’t intended to be an answer to VR
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 22 Comments
If you only watched the first couple of seconds of this week’s Nintendo Labo trailer, you might get the impression that Nintendo is trying to do something with VR. It could remind you of something like Google Cardboard. But as the trailer progresses, you’ll quickly realize that Nintendo is going for something that’s rather different.
Nintendo Labo also isn’t intended to be an answer to VR. That’s according to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, who spoke with Toronto Sun about the new initiative.

Last March, the Switch set another record in Spain when it became the country’s most successful console launch of all time, selling 44,673 units during its launch weekend. It seems like the Switch was able to keep up that momentum throughout the rest of 2017.
