Switch stock has been a big issue since the system launched earlier this year. It has undoubtedly improved, but it’s still not quite where it needs to be. In places like Japan, the situation is still very frustrating with continued lotteries just for an opportunity to buy a Switch.

In an interview with The Verge, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime commented on Switch’s supply situation once again. Being unable to meet demand is something he’s not happy with, and he says Nintendo is “working hard to satisfy as much demand as possible.”

Super Mario Odyssey full tech analysis

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 18 Comments

Digital Foundry managed to get its hands on the final retail copy of Super Mario Odyssey. Today, the outlet published its technical findings pertaining to the game.

Digital Foundry first points out how Nintendo took great care in paying attention to Super Mario Odyssey’s smaller details. When rolling down a hill, for example, Mario will be covered in dirt. It’ll then wash off if you jump into a nearby pool of water. Mario also has real momentum this time, so he’ll slow up / speed down properly as he runs up / down hills.
