Little bit of off-screen Super Mario Odyssey footage shows off a couple of areas
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 10 Comments
A bit of off-screen Super Mario Odyssey footage has been making the rounds today. It doesn’t show true gameplay, but it does provide a look at a couple of areas in the game. What’s funny about this discovery is that the footage was actually shown during the Nintendo Switch Experience in Japan from January, but is only just being noticed now. In any case, watch the video below.

ARMS has items that appear each round
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 5 Comments
All sorts of information has been coming out about ARMS from this month’s issue of EDGE. Another tidbit previously unknown is that the game features items that appear each round. One powers up your super, one heals you, and another is a time bomb that you and your opponent can hand off back and forth with punches until it explodes, similar to a game of hot potato.
We did actually get a look at items during the most recent Nintendo Direct, but it went largely unnoticed. Pictured above, when you punch the drone, the item is dropped.
Keep in mind that items aren’t mandatory. You can turn them off in the options menu if you’d rather play a more traditional match.

Switch owner receives system with quality check screenshot
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Switch | 6 Comments
When you take your Switch unit out of the box for the first time, you expect it to be entirely new. Yet one user found the screenshot above on the system when starting it up following the initial boot.
It’s thought that the image is from a quality check program not typically made available to consumers. Perhaps the person operating this Switch unit accidentally pressed the screenshot button, or forgot to delete the photo during the testing process. In any case, it’s not something that you generally see, so it’s pretty interesting to see this pop up.

Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition’s resolution could increase to 1080p while docked in the future
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 28 Comments
Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition currently runs at 720p at all times. Even when the system is docked, the resolution doesn’t change.
After speaking with Microsoft, TIME reports that “Minecraft’s 720p docked/undocked resolution isn’t a question of system power, but stems from issues currently experienced shifting from one resolution to the other when docking/undocking.” The publication further adds: “It’s possible, albeit not confirmed, that Minecraft for Switch could hit 1080p docked down the road.”
I Am Setsuna devs on the process of releasing the Unity-based game on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 15 Comments
At Unite 2017 Tokyo, a special panel was held about how the Unity-based I Am Setsuna was brought to Switch. The talk was highlighted by the appearance of Usuke Kumagai from Tokyo RPG Factory. Yuichiro Kitao and Tomoyuki Kurino from Gem Drops were present as well. Gem Drops was involved with programming, graphics and planning support, and the localized version for the Switch version of I Am Setsuna.
To begin, the team heard that Nintendo’s new hardware – known as NX at the time – supported Unity. In order to accumulate know-how on methods of the hardware, the process began of porting I Am Setsuna to Switch.

EA’s full comments about Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 55 Comments
EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently shared some new comments about Switch. During a financial call, Wilson was asked about how the publisher feels about the platform following its launch.
We thought it might be wise to pass along Wilson’s full comments. As transcribed by Seeking Alpha, he stated the following:
“So we feel really good about it. Again, we came out early and said that we’ll be supporting the Nintendo Switch with our biggest title in FIFA. We have a tremendous relationship with Nintendo and have done for many, many years and are excited by the fact that they have come out very strong and are bringing in a whole new player base into the ecosystem. We continue to be bullish on it and are looking at other titles that we might bring to the Switch.”
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
