A number of Switch games have required extra downloads for their physical versions. Sizes vary, but NBA 2K18, L.A. Noire, and Wolfenstein II are just a few examples of this.
Starlink: Battle for Atlas is another title that has a download requirement. Back at E3, we heard that it would be 15GB. However, there’s now conflicting information surfacing.
Over on Amazon’s listing, a photo on the page mentions a 4GB download. But then on Amazon UK, the boxart states that Starlink comes with a 10GB download. There’s obviously some sort of download involved here, but we now have three different numbers. Hopefully we’ll receive clarification closer to launch.
2K currently has a couple of games on Switch. Within the past year, NBA 2K18 and WWE 2K18 launched on the console.
In an interview with GamesIndustry, 2K president David Ismailer said that the company is “really happy” with the performance of both titles. He told the site:
Shacknews has uploaded a new video showing off Fox McCloud in his Arwing, hunting for extractors in Starlink: Battle for Atlas’ questing system. Take a look at over ten minutes of gameplay footage below.
The final case for The Darkside Detective’s first season is out now on Switch. Players can download the new content for free. Alongside the extra DLC, the game’s icon has been updated.
Here’s a brief overview and trailer for Baits Motel:
The Messenger has taken some clear inspiration from Ninja Gaiden. It only makes sense then to have some of the game’s creators try out Sabotage and Devolver Digital’s new title.
That’s exactly what you can see in the video below. Ninja Gaiden director / producer Hideo Yoshizawa, along with composer Keiji Yamagishi, play The Messenger while sharing their thoughts and commenting on a few other subjects.
