Nintendo’s North American website lists Green Game: TimeSwapper for that very day. Meanwhile, the European Switch eShop also has it down for November 17. There could always be a last-minute change, but next week’s launch is in sight.

Julian Eggebrecht is the president of Factor 5. You may not be aware of this, but he’s also the vice president of technology at Hulu.

Digital Foundry is back with a new Switch technical analysis. Doom, which pushes the system to its max, is one very interesting title to look at.
It’s to be expected, but Doom’s visual quality has dropped on Switch. It has an adaptive resolution, with it usually sitting at around 600p when docked. The depth-of-field buffer and alpha effects appear to be rendered at a quarter resolution. Temporal anti-aliasing can make the action look a bit blurry on the big screen.

Ubisoft is shutting down online services for a number of Wii U / Wii games as of today. In a statement posted on the company’s forums, it was noted that ending services for older games with a smaller audience will allow the IT and service staff to focus on newer and more popular titles.

This week, it was revealed that Pokemon GO developer Niantic is creating a new mobile game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. That means the studio is involved with three different on-going titles between that project, Pokemon GO, and Ingress.
