@FoxMcCloud Thanks your reply. It's not that obvious though: some DOOM 1&2 ports were disappointing until patches saved them (Digital Foundry made a great video about that). How colors render, which format they used for the soundtrack, is the framerate consistent... these are valid questions.
As for the rest... surely the Duke remains the Duke, yes
Hi, do you plan on posting a review of the Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary port on Switch? It's on sale only this week and I'd like to know if this port is worth it.
@Turrican280 Still unsure: when looking at the Switch screenshots in this article, I'm afraid this seems like a lot of interface and details for a 6.2” screen. I own an iPad Pro 9.7” and will likely switch for the new 11” Pro model this year, so I'm really thinking it will likely be more comfortable... at least visually. Gameplay-wise is, a few years ago I played X-COM on iPad: the tablet got really hot after some time, and it was really tiresome for my hand to move around the screen given the many actions the game required. TBS could pose the same issues, although visually it looks more appealing, notwithstanding the absence of the 3rd episode on iOS.
@Turrican280 Thanks for your reply! Too bad for the third episode indeed, I didn't know they simply don't have any plans on porting it to iOS, I guess that's due to Apple's fee but that's disappointing anyway.
Even though there obviously are higher up financial reasons for this lack of enthusiasm from Nintendo towards e-sport, I entirely agree with Sakurai's statement: let games be games.
Gaming used to be so much more pleasant because this bs esport/influencer craze fueled by big publishers... The Polygon news feed is a sad abstract of what this leads to.
And to think they could have made the launch of their online service actually exciting with very little effort... How can they suck so much at marketing this offer.

Re: Review: The Banner Saga (Switch eShop)
Hi @Turrican280 I'm hesitating between the iPad (larger screen, touch control) and the Switch version, which one would you recommend?

Damn, I was hoping DOOM 1 and 2 would be back on sale. Missed the great discount they applied ahead of the DOOM Eternal launch...

Re: The Switch's Home Menu Uses Less Than 200 KB Of Resources For Super-Fast Load Times
I love the simplicity of the Switch UI. Now if they could make the eShop much (much) faster to load and smoother to explore... :-/
