Bethesda has slowly rolled out information about Doom’s performance on Switch. Yesterday we found out that the game runs at 30 frames per second, at least officially anyway. Rolling Stone, who shared that information, managed to obtain some additional details from Bethesda as well.
First, Doom’s resolution is 720p on Switch. That’s regardless of which mode you’re playing in – docked or portable. Both are the same.
Bethesda also says that Doom won’t have any motion controls on Switch. The functionality is being added for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but it won’t be present in Doom.

Attack on Titan 2 announced for Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 21 Comments
Attack on Titan 2 is coming to Switch, Koei Tecmo has announced. The news was shared during an event at the Tokyo Game Show. Along with Switch, Koei Tecmo will be releasing the game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Steam.
We won’t have to wait on a localization announcement for this one, thankfully. The game was already confirmed for North America and Europe earlier in the year when the original reveal took place. Switch isn’t officially set for the west since today’s news was only just shared for Japan, but given how the major games for the platform are being localized thus far (Atelier, Nights of Azure 2), we expect Koei Tecmo to have an update for the west soon.
Here’s the original teaser for Attack on Titan 2:
Attack on Titan 2 will release in early 2018.

X-COM creator was asked to work on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
Julian Gollop, creator of the strategy franchise X-COM, nearly could have worked on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Creative director Davide Soliani had interest in bringing Gollop on board during the early stages of development.
In an interview with PCGamesN, Gollop stated:
“The creative director Davide Soliani is a friend of mine from Ubisoft. When I was at Ubisoft Sofia he was, and still is, working for Ubisoft Milan and I visited him a couple of times. We had conversations about project ideas… he was a fan of my previous games, like Laser Squad [Nemesis] and stuff like that, and he was really into his strategy and turn-based ideas from the beginning.”
Three years or so ago, Soliani gave Gollop a call and asked if he wanted to work on a project with him. It never worked out because Gollop had just left Ubisoft to start working on Chaos Reborn, and he wasn’t aware that it was Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Gollop may have ended up working on the Switch title had he remained with Ubisoft.
