NBA 2K19 is official. The game will launch in September for Switch, and depending on which version you buy, you’ll have a chance to play it a few days early.

LeBron James will star on this year’s cover. 2K wanted to partner “with the most iconic athlete of this generation” to celebrate developer Visual Concept’s 30th anniversary, VP of marketing Alfie Brody said.

NBA 2K19 confirmed for Switch

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

NBA 2K19 is coming to Switch, new retail marketing material has revealed. It seems that we’re on track for a September launch, just like last year. Those who purchase the game’s 20th Anniversary Edition will be able to play four days early.

The NBA 2K franchise returned to Nintendo platforms after being on hiatus for several years. Once 2K Sports published NBA 2K13 on Wii U back in 2012, that was it until last year’s comeback on Switch.

The team behind WWE 2K18 apparently isn’t done patching the Switch version. A new Switch update, version 1.0.4, has gone out for all players.

We’re unlikely to receive any official patch notes from 2K. However, there are some user reports floating around that freezing issues may have been addressed. We’ll report back with any additional findings, assuming there are any.

WWE 2K18 update out now (version 1.03)

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

2K Sports may not be finished updating WWE 2K18 on Switch, as we’re hearing that a new patch is live. Players can download version 1.03.

We don’t have any patch notes – at least currently – so we only have user impressions to go off of at the moment. We’re hearing that load times may have been improved in some areas, but the game still suffers from notable frame rate drops. Cards also now show the A button instead of B.

NBA 2K18 removes screenshot feature on Switch with version 1.07 due to “new Nintendo policy”

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Since launch, NBA 2K18 players have been able to capture screenshots with the game. Almost every title on the system supports the feature. But with version 1.07, the functionality has been disabled.

The exact reason behind this is interesting but unclear. A customer support representative says that a “new Nintendo policy” prompted the change.

The same also applies for another 2K title, by the way. You can no longer take screenshots in WWE 2K18.
