Hamaguchi said in the interview:
One of Switch 2’s biggest flaws, and why Nintendo might never fix it
Posted on 4 days ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been available for around four months now. For the most part, things have been going rather well – there’s a good amount of new games, just about every old Nintendo Switch title is compatible, and the console is widely available for purchase without invitations. That said, the system isn’t perfect: there’s obviously the whole situation about its price, though the same can now be said for PlayStation and Xbox as well. However, there’s another particularly troublesome flaw that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon: most Nintendo Switch games look worse on Switch 2 when played in handheld mode. Of course, if you’re playing in docked mode, things look just about the same. But a huge chunk of people play their console mostly or exclusively in handheld mode – that’s the entire draw of the console, after all – so the fact that many Switch 1 games are blurry is a big problem. And unfortunately, I don’t think Nintendo can or will fix this issue outside of releasing the occasional Switch 2 Edition. Here’s why.

Retro Studios has spoken about the making of Metroid Prime Remastered, including challenges the team encountered along the way. This comes from the brand new retrospective book that just released for the series.
On the topic of graphics, Retro wanted to be “authentic to the original game,” while “elevating the visuals to be best in class on Nintendo Switch.” The team evaluated just about all aspects, including color palettes, forms, and atmosphere. By all accounts, Metroid Prime Remastered has some of the best visuals on Nintendo Switch.

Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 5 days ago by Jeremy in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2 (reviewed), Switch
Release date: October 30, 2025
Developer: Artdink
Publisher: Square Enix
How do you follow up the remake of one of the most popular JRPGs of all time? Well, you take that beautiful HD-2D engine and remake both of the game’s predecessors using the same assets of course. And how do you dodge complaints that using the same game engine for these remakes is a lazy rehash? By putting an insane amount of effort into modernizing and expanding the stories, characters, lore, and world of these two classic RPGs. Square Enix and developer Artdink present for your consideration: Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake. It’s two retro RPG remakes for the price of one! But is it worth it? (spoiler: yes, but with some caveats).
Bayonetta creator insisted on keeping glasses despite publisher removal requests

Bayonetta’s glasses are an iconic part of the character’s look, but if things had gone in a different direction, they could have been removed.
That information comes from series creator Hideki Kamiya. Kamiya was responding to one fan asking about an older interview quote that stated “Bayonetta’s glasses are just like her underwear”. He confirmed that someone else said that – specifically animation director Yuji Shimomura. However, Kamiya also did say that there were publisher requests to have Bayonetta’s glasses removed.
