Nintendo patent indicates Switch 2 can be rotated to flip the display, change headphone and USB port positions
Posted on 6 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 0 comments
Another potential Nintendo Switch 2 patent is making the rounds, this time suggesting that the system can be turned upside down to change the positions of the headphone and USB ports.
With the current Switch, there’s just one way to orient the system and attach the controllers. With the upcoming console, however, you now “snap on” the Joy-Con with magnets. Additionally, now it seems it’ll be possible to turn the controllers upside down and have them set in the “wrong” side of the system.

Monster Hunter Wilds producer Ryozo Tsujimoto has been asked about a potential Nintendo Switch 2 port of the game in light of the system’s recent announcement.
Unsurprisingly, Tsujimoto wasn’t going to announce anything right there in the interview with Gamereactor. However, he did say Capcom “would need to take time over the coming future to learn exactly the nature of the hardware and how we’ll be using it best”.

Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Previously, we’ve gone over new retro catalogs that Nintendo should add to their Nintendo Switch Online service – including games from Nintendo DS as a hypothetical new addition. Today, however, we’re going over the platforms Nintendo Switch Online already has. It has quite a few, with NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo 64 all being included for some time now. That said, each platform is missing at least one notable game, and some are missing several. We’ll be looking at all five Nintendo Switch Online platforms (minus SEGA Genesis, which doesn’t receive much in terms of updates anyhow) and which important titles are missing in action.

[Let’s Talk] How big is your Nintendo Switch games collection?
Posted on 6 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
It’s crazy to think about just how many Nintendo Switch games are out there. Between Nintendo and others, system owners have thousands of possibilities to choose from. Not all of them are of the same quality, but there’s certainly a lot of variety.
As we head towards the end of Nintendo Switch’s lifecycle, we wanted to ask: how bis is your games collection? We don’t expect many (if any) of you to have specific numbers, but how about in general? Have you purchased more Switch titles than you did for previous Nintendo systems? Have you been more of a physical buyer or digital? Let us know in the comments.

Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and The Wonderful 101 are all part of the same universe. That’s according to Hideki Kamiya, the creator of these franchises.
Kamiya was responding to a fan comment that asked about Bayonetta and Devil May Cry sharing the same universe. However, it was clarified that his other games are a part of that as well. They all fall under the same umbrella dubbed the “Kamiya-verse.”

The best sub-skills in Pokemon Sleep
Posted on 6 months ago by Dawn in Features, Mobile | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over which sub-skills are best for which Pokemon according to their Specialty in Pokemon Sleep and some of the things you should consider when assessing whether they’d be worth investing in, or better sent to the Professor for candy that you can invest in better ones.
In Pokemon Sleep, the Pokemon that you recruit have a variety of parameters to consider which can dramatically affect their productivity when you’re awake. Although their Main Skill is fixed by their species, their sub-skills, which they will learn at Level 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100, are randomly selected from a small pool of options, and can make a huge difference on how effective they are at their Specialty.

Ravenswatch review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 6 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 23, 2025
Developer: Passtech Games
Publisher: Nacon
“Once upon a time” is an almost universally recognised phrase, beginning tales that many of us will have heard before, and will almost certainly follow a familiar pattern. There will be a hero, a villain, and in the end the former will defeat the latter, and the tale will have a happy ending. In modern interpretations of these classic tales at least, it’s rare that you’ll find one that doesn’t have a happy ending, unless it has been deliberately contrived for the sake of provoking shock in the audience, which it typically fails to do, being so exaggerated as to feel more cliche than original. Ravenswatch, the second game to be developed by Passtech Games, is an extremely rare example of this inversion of fairy tales done right, with some solid roguelike gameplay to back it up.
