Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Not to derail the thread but maybe post this on the PlayStation thread

I spotted a game called Tails of Iron on the Eshop that's looking really promising. I haven't noticed anybody talking about it. I really love the graphical style, similar style to Hollow Knight's but more detailed. Gameplay wise, it seems like a 2D Dark Souls. I just hope the gameplay has had as much effort put into it as the graphics clearly have.

Soo yeah I'd definitely be skipping Sonic Colors Ultimate for the time being. There's a LOT of issues with it.

Unfortunately I bought the Digital Deluxe Edition of it...

@IceClimbers I saw all this on Twitter and immediately cancelled my physical copy. Will wait till it's hopefully patched before considering buying it now.

Oh, well.
Sonic Colours Wii version is your alternative choice, folks.

I wonder if this is why the physical version in Europe got delayed by a month.

@Grumblevolcano Doubt it because those discs and cartridges are likely already printed.

I’m just gonna drop this twitter account here, it is dedicated to Mario facts and weird tidbits, a lot of is based on glitches in games, which has been entertaining me for the last year or so.

@IceClimbers hopefully there's a patch on September 7th that fixes these issues.

Appears that most of the glitches was on an experimental Switch emulator.

@HotGoomba
Will you consider Sonic Colour Wii version instead ?

Evidently, the developer responsible for the Switch port of WWE 2K18 handled the Switch port of Sonic Colors Ultimate. Take from that what you will.

I’ve had zero problems with Sonic Colors on Switch. All I can do is report my personal experience with the game, and after completing the first world, it’s been flawless thus far. And, I don’t recall people who reviewed the gaming running into many issues either.

Cruis’n Blast Interview Excerpts

Since the Cruis’n series has a history of appearing first on arcades and then consoles, was that always the plan for Blast as well? How long has the Switch port been in the works?

To be honest we hadn’t really thought about consoles until the pandemic hit, and all the arcades shut down. And then we’re like – dude how do we make the payroll next week? So just for fun our ace Cruis’n Blast coder gets a Switch dev kit and has the thing up-and-running in like a week. The graphics and frame rate were impressive. Couldn’t believe it. So we decided to make it happen! Players have been hammering us for years to get a Cruis’n Blast on the Switch – so how about a new business model? – give ‘em what they want!

What will the frame rate and resolution be in docked and portable modes?

Cruis’n Blast’s frame rate is solid 60 FPS for single player in both docked and portable modes. For two-, three- and four-player split-screen modes, the game runs at 60-30 FPS in both docked and portable modes. The game always runs at the Switch’s maximum resolution, 1080p when docked and 720p when in portable mode.

What do you imagine for the future of Cruis’n?

There’s an old saying that in this forever disposable world, a game coder is only as good as your last line of code (or in the case of an artist, your last pixel!)! So who knows what might happen. One idea would be to do a Switch retro-cade type thing and bring back the classic Cruis’n arcade trilogy – at full HD arcade resolution and 60Hz frame rates on the Switch. 30+ tracks! All 3 theme songs!!!!! “Cruis’n, Cruis’n the World, Yeah Yeah!”. “Cruis’n Exotica – can you dig it?”. I can’t wait…

@HotGoomba
Unbelievable. They played on an emulator then tried using emulator issues to FUD the official Switch release?

Can’t trust anyone these days.

@Magician In fairness the non-Switch versions of WWE 1K18 were also broken buggy messes too.

@jump
I have never heard there was a wrestling game on year 1K18 (1018). 😛

Wasn't at all the point of my comment, but no.

I'd say that that would be a bad sign, if the game wasn't already released and the game apparently runs fine besides a few smaller glitches and a few that turned out to be from an emulator.

A bit sad that people will go to these lengths to diminish a game's credibility.

@HotGoomba @JaxonH One of the reported glitches (a Sonic t-pose glitch) was due to playing it on Yuzu.

There are other examples of glitches, including the seizure type visual glitches, that are proven to have occurred on the actual hardware.

Just because one glitch was fake doesn't mean all of them are.

Edit: Here's proof.

@IceClimbers
I never said none of the glitches were real. I'm well aware at least one is. I don't need to be shown "proof" of anything because I never made any claim to the contrary in the first place.

But it's a far cry from what's been going around. One glitch you have to intentionally go out of your way to activate vs mass hysteria from claims of being a broken, unplayable mess. Especially having played the game myself. I would have zero hesitation recommending the game to someone else. At least on Switch. Other platforms have save issues, it seems.

@IceClimbers I said MOST glitches not all, I'm fully aware that there are legitimate glitches, I'm just pointing out that some aren't legit
