Zelda: Breath of the Wild glitch turns off the cartoon shader
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 36 Comments
Nintendo came up with a unique art style in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In a way, it almost looks Wind Waker, but not quite to the same cartoonish extent.
But what would Breath of the Wild look like without its art style, you ask? Thanks to a glitch discovered by Reddit’s Rangers_Of_The_North last month, it’s possible to turn off the shaders.

EA on why FIFA 18 isn’t using Frostbite on Switch, will be better than last-gen version
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 52 Comments
The Switch version of FIFA 18 doesn’t use Frostbite similar to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. EA did, however, come up with its own custom engine for Nintendo’s console.
Explaining why the team decided against using Frostbite on Switch, developer Andrei Lazarescu noted:
“As much as we would have wanted to (use Frostbite) you can’t without making the whole engine work. We intentionally chose to do a custom engine because we felt that rather and try and get Frostbite running and end up having to downsize things and making it just a smaller, lower-quality version of the PS4 and Xbox One versions, we wanted this to be a FIFA that stands on its own two feet. We want people to recognise it and play it for what it is rather than saying, hey, you’re getting a sh***y, second-rate game. This is a full FIFA that players players will enjoy.”
