SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy takes the powerful female stars of the King of Fighters franchise and gives them a game all to themselves, bringing together an illustrious cast of fan favorites while retaining smooth and flashy gameplay. Although familiar in its presentation and charismatic roster of fighters, the game is a little different from its mainline King of Fighters counterparts by making it extremely accessible to newcomers or casual players of the genre, while also being a fun pick-me-up for seasoned players. Accessibility comes with sacrifice, however, making just about every character’s move-set slim and uneventful, with most of the roster feeling similar in their fighting styles.

Dragon Ball FighterZ was originally announced at last year’s E3. Almost immediately, fans started to ask why there wasn’t a Switch version, and began requesting a port. Those requests will finally be fulfilled when Dragon Ball FighterZ arrives on Switch later this month.

Ahead of the release, Switch Player caught up with the developers to chat about the game. The interview started out with the team being asked about why the Switch edition didn’t appear at the same time as the PS4 and Xbox One versions:

Nintendo says “vast majority” of Switch titles will support cloud saves, ensuring “fair play” with those that don’t

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Some rather interesting information began to emerge about Nintendo Switch Online and cloud saves today. Unfortunately, not all titles will support the feature. There will be a few exceptions such as Splatoon 2, Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee, and others.

Nintendo has now commented on the situation to clarify how many games will be affected and why such titles are restricted. According to the statement, fans can expect a “vast majority” of Switch releases to support cloud saves. The ones that don’t are like this in order to ensure “fair play”.

Nintendo’s site says Splatoon 2, Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee, others don’t support cloud saves

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Update 2: Same notices are also on the game pages for NBA 2K19, FIFA 19, Dead Cells, and Dark Souls: Remastered.

Update: The game pages for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee also have the same notice. Both may not support cloud saves as well.

Original: Nintendo Switch Online launches on Switch towards the end of this month. When it does, subscribers will be able to take advantage of new cloud saves, though not every game will be eligible for the feature. Splatoon 2 may fall into that category.

On Nintendo’s North American website, the Splatoon 2: Starter Pack page states: “This game does not support Save Data Cloud backup.” Unless this is an error or a misunderstanding, cloud saves won’t be supported here. We’ll know for sure once the service officially starts this month.

Yesterday, a description on the back of the box of an upcoming Switch game in Japan made some people doubt whether or not the cloud saving feature of the upcoming Nintendo Switch Online service would work with all Switch games. Today, we can possibly shed a little light on that issue, though it’s nothing official yet.

The folks over at Nintendo Life reached out to a source of theirs, presumably someone working at a developer or publisher, and asked them about the cloud saving feature. Here’s what the source had to say:
