Panic Button initially jumped on Switch, which allowed the team to bring over a number of high-quality ports. Rocket League, Doom, and Wolfenstein are just some of the games the studio worked on.
Panic Button wasn’t sure how Switch would turn out when the company was first introduced the system, but co-founder Michael Traub told Engadget that the company “saw the potential in it.” Panic Button also thought the device could be a bit more powerful than some people would give it credit for.

Hob: The Definitive Edition update out now (version 1.1.1) – handheld mode image quality improved

One of the things Hob: The Definitive Edition players initially expressed some frustration over when the game launched on Switch a few weeks ago was the resolution. In handheld mode, things just weren’t all that crisp.
With a new version 1.1.1 patch issued today, this has now been addressed. Panic Button says handheld mode image quality was a “top priority” and calls it a “huge step forward.” On top of that, the patch “contains a handful of other fixes and improvements.”

A few days ago, retailers started to update their listings for Wolfenstein: Youngblood on Switch. Disappointing collectors, it was discovered that the game apparently won’t come with a cartridge on Switch. These retailers indicated that only a digital download would be included inside.
Bethesda has now updated its FAQ for Wolfenstein: Youngblood, confirming the news. The title will only be available digitally and the physical version contains a digital download code without an actual cartridge.
GameStop says Wolfenstein: Youngblood won’t come with a cartridge

Wolfenstein: Youngblood will be sold at retailers, but not in the way you’d expect. GameStop’s listing for the title states that a cartridge isn’t included. Instead, the box apparently contains a download code.
We don’t have any reason to doubt GameStop, but this is something Bethesda hasn’t clearly stated in the past. Those hoping for a true physical release might be out of luck here. Unless GameStop is mistaken, Bethesda won’t be selling Wolfenstein: Youngblood in cartridge form.
