Switch

Square Enix released a new video on SaGa Scarlet Grace today. This developer interview shows off some gameplay from the Switch version in handheld mode in addition to revealing some technical details about the game (thanks to Gematsu for the translation). The Switch version will run at 1080p in docked mode and 720p in handheld mode. In both modes, it will have a max frame rate of 60 fps. The Switch version will use higher resolution textures compared to the mobile version of the game which is also coming out. Unlike the mobile versions, it will also have a opening movie and supports controller vibration.

Mario Tennis Aces

Although it isn’t playable yet, the Mario Tennis Aces demo can now be downloaded – and inevitably, that means that it got datamined. The results are seemingly the full list of playable characters, all the courts and all the bosses in singleplayer mode. Keep in mind that this info is not necessarily 100% correct or complete, but it does seem fairly likely. If you don’t mind being spoiled, head past the break for the datamined info.

Overwatch

Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan was asked about the possibility of bringing the shooter to Switch last year. At the time, he explained that there would be some challenges in making that happen.

A year later, senior game producer Matthew Hawley has also been asked as to whether or not we could see Overwatch on Nintendo’s console one day. Hawley acknowledged the popularity of the system, but like Kaplan, noted that challenges would be involved. He did start out by saying that it’s something the team is constantly evaluating.
