It seems like Bandai Namco added a curious limitation to the Switch version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. The game deactivates the system’s share button during cutscenes, meaning you’re unable to take screenshots of those moments. This was presumably done to prevent spoilers from being spread on social media, but it seems like a strange decision given that the game has been out on other systems for a while now and isn’t exactly narrative-driven to begin with.

It remains to be seen if Bandai Namco will do the same with other Switch games in the future, and if other developers will follow their example.

The folks over at Gamasutra recently talked to several indie developers about the Switch – about what’s like to develop for the system, how Nintendo got into contact with them, and so on. One of the developers they interviewed was Omar Cornut from Lizardcube, the team responsible for Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap. It seems the game did quite well on the Switch – Cornut said that they sold “more copies of Wonder Boy on the Switch than the three other platforms we released on combined”. Definitely a sign of a smaller games library and thus more exposure for smaller titles, but good news nonetheless for developers and Nintendo alike.

FT was able to speak with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime at Variety’s Entertainment and Technology Summit 2017. Reggie was able to comment further on Switch supply situation during the interview.

The lack of stock – especially early on – ultimately boils down to two things. First, the demand for Switch was higher than expected. Second was that Nintendo has been dealing with supply shortages of components.

According to Reggie:
