Team17 announced a new partnership with Sold Out last week. The two sides are working together to bring Overcooked, Worms W.M.D., and Yoku’s Island Express to retail on Switch.
GaamesIndustry spoke with Sold Out CEO Garry Williams following the news. In his view, the notion that third-party games struggle to sell on Nintendo platforms is a bit of an exaggeration.

Doom pre-load live on the North American and European Switch eShops, updated file size
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
Update: You can pre-load Doom on the North American Switch eShop now as well.
Original: Pre-loading on the Switch eShop is beginning to become more and more common. The latest game to have made this option available is Doom, which arrives later this week. Switch owners in Europe can begin pre-loading Doom now.
On another note, we also have an update on the file size. It was sitting at around 13.4GB. Now, however, it’s at 21.3GB. That likely means multiplayer will be built in rather than a separate download, despite what was thought last week.
Thanks to Matthew M for the tip.

1-2-Switch update available (version 1.1)
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 11 Comments
1-2-Switch received an update last week that seemingly went under the radar. Players can now download version 1.1.
The new update adds one new thing: the ability to capture video. Similar to games such as Super Mario Odyssey, you can hold the Capture Button to record up to 30 seconds of the previous footage. The functionality will work if your Switch system is on firmware version 4.0.0 or higher.
