Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A new version 1.2.0 update has gone out for Bayonetta 2 on Switch. This is the second patch for the game in about two months, which is quite interesting given how the title has been around on Nintendo’s current platform since the start of 2018.
Version 1.2.0 is a follow up of sorts to the update from the end of September, which added in support for new languages. It appears that a single correction has been made for Chinese (Tradition), and there are fixes in all languages for “errors in the text of an event scene at the start of the game.”

Microsoft argues that “Nintendo offers a broader range of mature content than Xbox”
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
According to Microsoft, Nintendo “offers a broader range of mature content than Xbox”.
Microsoft’s statements came about as part of its response to the UK CMA about wanting to buy Activision. Despite some claiming that Nintendo is more family-friendly, Switch in particular has proved otherwise. Microsoft highlighted the Nintendo-published Bayonetta 3, the console-exclusive Shin Megami Tensei V, and other third-party titles such as The Witcher 3 and NieR: Automata. Ultimately Microsoft is looking to prove that Nintendo is as much a competitor as Sony is with PlayStation, and was looking to provide “evidence that Nintendo Switch is not just a console aimed at the family friendly customer segment but more broadly at a diverse group of gamers across all demographics.”

A new video from Digital Foundry has explored the technical side of Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, including frame rate and resolution.
Unfortunately, the games just aren’t up to snuff in this department. That doesn’t mean the actual gameplay is bad. Across the board though, the titles are by all accounts disappointing – frame rate, resolution, glitches, and more don’t meet standards that many had hoped for.
