@Vyacheslav333 BANJO is correct, it’s 720p docked. Easy to miss as Oliver only mentions it comparing it to the Xbox One version and when saying handheld resolution is “slashed in half.”
@PersianZSR It IS turned into pixel art by putting it through the Minecraft engine. I understand you like this stuff, but moderating this post, challenging people, isn’t it, bro.
I would be more interested if this wasn’t advertised with the game’s anniversary.
Bring back the original Switch version or actually make the Super Duper 4K graphic mod; supporting us for 15 years? Thanks for the money - here’s some pixel art!
Either Aspyr is rushing this out before they lose their Star Wars rights or all the complaining from the internet did jack for the Battlefront Collection and sold greatly.
So wouldn’t this mean F1 Manager will be the first Unreal Engine 5 game to launch on the Switch? (Fortnite doesn’t count as that was an already existing game)
Surprised Activision hasn’t included any of their games, especially with Xbox’s Phil Spencer wanting a handful of their games “on as many platforms as possible”
Would be great to have a separate article or section that does ‘spoil’ the QOL changes, as I feel like that’s part of the deciding factor on buying at full price.
I remember when people were pissed that the Trilogy Pack only included RE4 on the cartridge - sorry vocal minority! Even for X360/PS3 ports, they look fantastic with a couple frame drops when it gets hectic.
In the words of the late Norm Macdonald: “Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story should die.”
From Gamesradar: [F]ollow the suit, Yuzu also expressed a strong anti-piracy stance, and said that it had "always been against piracy"
Cut to one of the leads having a folder full of ROMS for other developers for ‘testing’
And from Nintendo: “The copyrights of games are valid even if the games are not found on store shelves [or available digitally for purchase,] and using, copying and/or distributing those games is a copyright infringement.”
Oh, you like this game that’s now only resold for hundreds of dollars? PAY THE SCALPERS.
If most if not all nonrecurrent developers are working on EOL Switch games, the line up should be fine.
Arika’s last games were non-Nintendo published exclusives Pac Man 99 and Chocobo GP
Atlus with a new Nintendo exclusive (maybe another SMT spin off or sequel)
Bandai Namco has its own Switch studio with a new Taiko game being it’s last - maybe a Pokken Tournament sequel is in the cards?
I’d cry if Camelot is working on a baseball game
Genius Sorority has only made that Pokemon Cafe game
Good Feel finished up their personal project; either a Poochie and Yoshi-like remaster or an outright new Yoshi game would seem right
MercurySteam themselves could be porting Samus Returns (or a Super Metroid remake would be grand)
Monolith Soft could also be porting Xenoblade Chronicles X or they might already be working on a Xenoblade for the next console
Haven’t heard anything from NDcube, which is surprising since Superstars sold well (but not as much as Super Mario Party) and Clubhouse Games seemed like an unexpected success
Omega Force could be working on a new Nintendo musou series or just a sequel to Hyrule or Fire Emblem Warriors (with the deep cut that was Famicom Detective Club, maybe a total The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls remake?)
Sakurai might be outright remaking Kid Icarus Uprising (as I swear I heard he wants to slow down, but not outright retire) If the stars did align, I would be shocked to see a sequel
We also don’t know who’s developing the Princess Peach and Luigi Mansion 2 HD games; LM is probably in-house with Next Level Games or that could be Grezzo’s next project
@epicgamner Nintendo has a ‘squeaky clean’ reputation to live up to. Ubisoft explains that the ‘guns’ in the Mario and Rabbids games are toys and/or they’re make believe in a fantasy world. Nintendo doesn’t want any of their characters, even darker characters like Bayonetta or Samus, to be shooting the younger under 18 playable character (even if it’s in a fantasy setting.)
Going to sound like a boomer and that I’m ‘defending’ Nintendo, but I’m glad I don’t see Samus or Mario running around in Fortnite. It’s now more like “Oh, they’re in Fortnite now.” Unlike the Smash reveals, I just don’t care when some ‘special’ character shows up. Like Peter Griffin? Family Guy hasn’t been popular in years. Is Homer Simpson next?
“Digital Foundry's analysis finds that both titles mostly match the 2016 rerelease in terms of visual features”
They actually said otherwise; it’s based on the Unreal Engine 3 originals, not Unreal Engine 4’s Return to Arkham - sad as I prefer the UE3 versions, but UE3 isn’t natively supported, which may explain some of the issues. Outlast and Rocket League were great cases though.
@Woderwick “nobody bats an eyelid at stuff like GTA.” There actually were a group of (mothers?) that tried to boycott GTA 4. But other than that, I agree.
@LikelySatan You argue that Joy Cons are more expensive, but for an extra $20, you’re technically getting 2 controllers that aren’t just a slip on - they actually have more purpose
In Konami’s defense, Jools was a fresh face going by his company with Dementium being their first game - they had nothing but a tech demo to show. Sure, he was at Iguana Entertainment for years, but I don’t think he was ever a director for any of their games.
Didn’t Renegade Kid also start as a ~5 man team? Do you really think Konami would want a new indie studio make a Silent Hill game hot off Team Silent’s 4 games?
Nintendo removed it because they got caught, not because it was a mistake. Warner Bros. is the one that deserves the most blame though for having someone cut up a Switch trailer with PC gameplay.
Was hopeful as Saber was radio silent for the same amount of time for World War Z, and that ended up being enjoyable, but not ideal experience. They should honestly only announce games for the Switch (or Nintendo’s next console) if they actually got it running on the system.
Are most of the comments bots? Saying it’s the same every year and it’s not graphically impressive at all.
This isn’t Legacy Edition anymore, folks, it’s Frostbite Engine. Actually looks better than Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, previously the only Frostbite game on Switch.

We not only got a Horizon game on the Switch, it’s a cross-platform current generation game that isn’t coming to Xbox.
Was honestly expecting Spider-Man to go multi-platform than Horizon (albeit a kid friendly spin-off.) Color me interested!
