Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 23 Comments
If there’s one thing Harvest Moon fans have been critical of with Light of Hope, it’d be the graphics. The game doesn’t quite have a 3D look. At the same time, it doesn’t have 2D art either.
Natsume vice president of operations Graham Markay commented on Harvest Moon: Light of Hope’s graphics in an interview with PC Gamer. He noted that “Harvest Moon has never been about graphics,” and the series instead relays the message “that hard work gets rewarded.”

ARMS update out now (version 4.0.1)
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo released the latest major update for ARMS this past week. Version 4.0.0 added in support for the brand new fighter Misango.
Soon after that update premiered, Nintendo sent out another patch. The latest update for ARMS is now version 4.0.1.
As for what it does, that’s somewhat of a mystery at the moment. Nintendo hasn’t posted any patch notes anywhere – be it its Japanese website or North American support page. We can at least guess that it implements some fixes from 4.0.0. If we do get an official notice from Nintendo about the update, we’ll let you know.
