Team Cherry shared some updates on the Switch port of Hollow Knight today. Notably, the game is now expected to be ready for release early 2018. The developers explain that as first-time developers, Hollow Knight was originally built in “some strange, unoptimised ways” that is going to take a little more time to polish for the Switch version.
During an AMA on Reddit, Psyonix provided tech specs for Rocket League on the Switch. When docked, the resolution is 720p. The resolution stays around 526p when in portable mode. The priority seems to have been keeping the game running at a solid 60fps.
Rocket League runs at 1280×720 in Docked and uses a dynamic resolution scaler in Undocked (handheld) depending on the stadium being played. Generally speaking it hovers around 1024×576. Post launch we plan to continue working on optimizing the game.
According to a user on Reddit, an update is available for Monopoly on the Switch that apparently addresses load times. We previously reported on the significant load issues that players had trouble with, with the game reportedly taking up to 10 minutes to boot up. This patch seems to resolve the problem.
Rocket League has started to go live on the Switch eShop in certain parts of the world. It should be launched in all regions by tomorrow. Get a look at some extensive gameplay below.
A new patch is out now for Kingdom: New Lands. The update addresses issues with frame rate drops, implements a new home menu icon (see above), and more.
The full patch notes are as follows:
