f-zero x comparison n64 switch online

Nintendo provided a first look at F-Zero X on Nintendo Switch Online when it announced the game’s release date for the service a short while ago, and a new video from GameXplain compares this version to the N64 original.

F-Zero X originally released on the N64 in 1998. It has since appeared on the Wii Virtual Console.

zelda majoras mask switch n64 comparison

GameXplain has put together a new comparison video for The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, pitting the new Nintendo Switch Online version up against the N64 original. We’re able to see how the two stand together from a graphical perspective.

While both versions are very similar, the Switch edition seems to have a slight advantage thanks to an increase in resolution. Overall you’ll be getting a bit of a clearer image.

GameXplain has put together a new comparison video for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass DLC.

Yesterday, Nintendo announced that it’s revisiting the racer over five years after its original release with new courses. 48 will be made in total spread across six waves.

Banjo-Kazooie comparison

Thanks to GameXplain, we have a new graphical comparison for Banjo-Kazooie on the N64, Xbox, and Switch.

As many fans know, the 3D platformer made its debut on the N64 in 1998. It then saw a remastered version on the Xbox in 2008. The game is now back on Nintendo with its upcoming arrival on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service.

GTA Trilogy updates

We’ve got a roundup of news pertaining to GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, including updates, a Big Head mode, and a comparison video for the Switch and PS5 versions.

The launch of these remasters have been a little bit rocky to say the least. There have been notable issues across all platforms, but as a Nintendo site, we’re naturally focusing on the Switch version. While this is also true for other systems, players on Switch have encountered significant issues with the frame rate and slowdown.

switch n64 comparison

GameXplain has shared a new video comparison for N64 games on Switch and the original hardware.

Last night, the first batch of N64 titles were made available on the Switch Online + Expansion Pack service. GameXplain’s video shows off Super Mario 64, Yoshi’s Story, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Dr. Mario 64, and Mario Tennis. Strictly from a visual perspective, titles seem to be brighter on Switch. However, some players have complained about fog on Nintendo’s current console, particular when it comes to Zelda.

dying light comparison

A new video has emerged that acts as a comparison for the Switch and PC versions of Dying Light: Platinum Edition.

Dying Light on Switch contains the base game and a ton of additional content. It will also support the system’s various features, including gyro aiming, motion control, and HD Rumble. Players can also navigate the interface with touch screen support as well. Local and online co-op are both supported, allowing players to enjoy the game by placing two consoles next to each other.

Darksiders III comparison

A new video has come online that serves as a graphical comparison for Darksiders III on Switch and Xbox One.

It does look like the team behind the Switch port had to make some sacrifices in order to get the game running on the console. We can see changes in things like assets and textures, which have been scaled back on the system.

One of the most important aspects of any game is performance, and while we don’t have much insight into this here, there have been some early reports of inconsistency. Darksiders III aims to hit 30 FPS on Switch, though it can vary depending on where you are and how much is happening on screen. The frame rate can fluctuate above and below that number quite a bit.

Switch OLED vs. Switch comparison

We’ve already seen the first unboxing for the Switch OLED, but how about a Switch OLED vs. Switch comparison video? That’s now in thanks to YouTuber Nintendo Prime. Nintendo Prime was not only sent in another unboxing – this time in English on the North American side of things – but an overall look at the system as well.

One notable aspect of the video is that we’re able to get a better look at the Switch OLED screen. MrZeke725, who sent the video to Nintendo Prime, shows that it can be quite a bit brighter than the original model. That was already somewhat of a given considering the nature of OLED screens, but this really shows just how much more vibrant the image can be.
