Rocket League

Digital Foundry has returned with a new technical analysis of a Switch game. For its latest investigation, Rocket League is the focus.

Having Rocket League run at 60 frames per second was the top priority. As a result, the team needed to make some compromises to the visuals.

Rocket League has been discounted on the North American Switch eShop, marking the first time it has gone on sale on Nintendo’s console.

Rocket League can currently be purchased for $14.99. Normally, it costs $19.99. You’ll be saving 25% with a purchase.

This sale will continue until January 2.

Wolfenstein II

Panic Button has already worked with Bethesda to bring Doom to Switch. Unsurprisingly, the company has been brought back to help out Wolfenstein II on the console as well.

Senior game designer Andreas Öjerfors confirmed the news to Gamereactor. Öjerfors said that Panic Button is now a Switch expert, and given how Doom turned out, Wolfenstein II should end up being a great experience on Nintendo’s console as well.

Psyonix previously indicated that Rocket League would have a physical release on Switch at some point. EB Games Australia has already followed up, and has opened pre-orders for the Rocket League Collector’s Edition.

The package includes the base game, wheels and player banner inspired by DC Comic’s “The Flash”, 3 DLC Packs, premium DLC Battle-Cars, and an art print. Content from the Supersonic Fury, Revenge of the Battle-Cars, and Chaos Run packs are included.

The Rocket League Collector’s Edition can be pre-ordered on EB Games Australia here.

Psyonix has announced a new event for Rocket League. Beginning on Monday, players can participate in the new “Frosty Fest”.

During the event, you’ll earn “Snowflakes” as currency each time you finish a match online. These can be used to purchase Event items, Decryptors, or the new Frosty Fest Event Crate.

Nintendo UK has published a trailer for Doom to highlight the game’s positive reception on Switch. Have a look at the video below.

Rocket League has seen tremendous growth in popularity and players over the past few years since its original release, and also now cements itself as one of the largest eSports franchises in the world. At the same time, it remains easy to pick up and play for the casual gamer to enjoy. Although we’ve seen a surge in online multiplayer titles for quite awhile now, Rocket League maintains a dedicated and respectful consumer base thanks to its low cost of entry, hours of fun, and, most importantly, no pay-to-win nonsense. The cars won’t run faster, but having something like the Batmobile will definitely make you look cooler than most out on the field (besides the incredible Metroid car, of course).

Astro Duel Deluxe has received its biggest sale on Switch thus far. Over on the North American eShop, the game will be discounted by 70%. This week’s sale is in place for Black Friday and Cyber Monday,

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.
