Sonic Mania has a couple of small issues on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 30 Comments
Sonic Mania is currently suffering from a couple of technical hiccups on Switch. Multiple users have experienced issues with taking screenshots, accessing the Home Menu, and using the power button. The response times are either very slow, or completely nonexistent.
Kotaku says that the issues stem from playing in portable mode, but some players have reported encountering the same problems while the system is docked as well. The site adds that it isn’t happening for everyone, and can be intermittent.
We’re hoping it won’t be too long until an official fix is issued via an update. Thankfully, the issues don’t really affect gameplay.

Troll and I has a game breaking bug on Switch, but can be fixed
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 15 Comments
Troll and I is available on Switch today. Unfortunately, the game has a significant issue just a few minutes in, though it can be taken care of somewhat easily.
Nintendo Life came across the bug roughly 10-15 minutes in. Following a QTE sequence of sorts in which the main character slides down a hill, players defeat an enemy and look for crafting items. However, when attempting to leap over a hill to progress to the next area, an endless loading screen appears.

Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 11 Comments
Telltale Games has been speaking pretty positively about the Switch, and there have been several rumors and retailer listings suggesting that their games might be coming to the system (other than Minecraft: Story Mode). Now, a job listing has popped up which suggests that Telltale is intending to continue their Switch support. They’re looking for a “Nintendo Compliance Specialist” – essentially someone who will be responsible for ensuring that Telltale’s games will meet the technical standards of the Switch and also assist with other publishing & quality assurance issues. You can check out the full job listing here, if you’re interested.
Of course we will have to see what happens, but it certainly seems like Telltale Games are committed to supporting the Switch long-term if they’re specifically hiring someone for a position like this.
