You’ll be happy to know that the N64 wasn’t destroyed in the process. It was completely broken otherwise, so the broken console was used for the dock.

Rocket League dev “evaluating” potential Switch version
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 21 Comments
Rocket League has continued to expand since its debut in 2015. However, it has yet to appear on any Nintendo platform.
With Switch, Psyonix Studios’ vice president Jeremy Dunham says that the team is “evaluating” the possibility. A decision will ultimately be made based on “the technical requirements” as well as “community demand”.
Dunham told IGN:
“Just like all the other platforms, we are evaluating it. We’re looking to see what the technical requirements are. We’re looking to see what kind of true community demand there is. We’re looking to see how it would benefit the community as a whole. So we’re still in that evaluation phase. It’s definitely too early to say that it wouldn’t happen, but it’s also definitely too early to say that it would.”

Warner Bros. suggests we’ll be able to play LEGO City Undercover on Switch without downloading the game
Posted on 7 years ago by Fernando in News, Switch | 27 Comments
LEGO City Undercover’s packaging appeared online yesterday, which stated that players would need up to 13GB of storage for the “game download” on Switch. This suggested that the whole title is not included on the physical cartridge itself. But today, LEGO City Undercover publisher Warner Bros. has provided Eurogamer with a statement about the situation.
According to a company spokesperson, “players who purchase LEGO City Undercover on Nintendo Switch at retail do not need to download the game to play”.
If this is true, then we still don’t know why the label says it is required to download up to 13GB of data. It’s possible that some of the game can be played without the additional download, but we can’t say for sure just yet. We’ll keep you informed if we hear anything else about the situation.
