It's usual for Switch. Ape Out's patch is bigger than the game itself.
The problem with the eShop is that they need you to download 1.0 before patching in 1.1, which is just plain stupid and inefficient. Why don't they just put 1.1 for someone downloading for the first time? It's a waste of Nintendo's bandwidth as well, just a plain waste of time.
I've already played the Japanese version. The game is basically knocking the girl down so you can attack her huge jugs with the pinball to score points.
My Oculus GO has literally 4 times the pixels of Switch and I still get that screen-door effect. Can't wait to try this Labo VR and get that 8-bit Minecraft effect.
@Arkay The article didn't said why they use Unreal engine.
What I meant was: Nintendo can make their own engine and it runs better on their own hardware. All their first party games for the last 30 years were on their own engine. Why for this particular title, they chose Unreal?
The licensing fee for Unreal engine is 5% of the gross revenue. Why give money away?
My prediction is that Nintendo planned to sell this game later on Xbox, in exchange for XBox's exclusive Cuphead and Ori. This could be a deal between the 2 companies. It will be a huge deal for Xbox to get a Nintendo game (historic), it will also be an experiment for Nintendo to become 3rd party.
@Arkay Nintendo don't like sharing revenue with other company, using Unreal, they have to give some of the money to Epic. Why would they do that? They can make their own engine in house that runs better. Unreal can export games easily to other platforms, it's the only reason.
This game uses Unreal engine. Why did Nintendo use Unreal engine? Most gaming corporations don't use it because you need to pay a percentage of the game's profit to Epic games if you use their engine.
The only reason Nintendo use it is because they planned to port it to other system. That's the only advantages Unreal and Unity have over proprietary engine.
That's why exclusive games are always better. The devs only have one system to optimise and it will look it's best and perform at top speed. Look at Fast RMX, it's polished to perfection.
Some people are going to be so pissed signing up early for Nintendo Online. Amazon Prime is so cheap, monthly fees basically covered all the delivery fees and more (if you regularly buy things online). Then there's the other perks like free Kindle ebooks, Amazon TV and now Nintendo Online. There's no reason not signing up to Amazon.
No wonder Dr Evil is the richest man on this planet.
@aaronsullivan What do you want? Chopped off his hands so he can't use the keyboard? These days you can use voice activated assistant to do the hacking.
Forget prude Sony, Nintendo welcomes frustrated artists who wants to work on large mammaries. SENRAN KAGURA Reflexions, Gal gun 2, Bayonetta 2, etc. Nintendo is the refuge for these starving artists.
@mist Don't play them. Square's games are all similar: it's like 'The world ends with you' and 'Kingdom hearts', filled with emo kids and girly men. Convoluted stories that makes you cringe at every cutscene.
I am disappointed by the performance and graphics of this game. Seems like EA doesn't care, so manny jaggies, please polished them away with some anti-aliasing. Not even 60 fps, barely 30fps with lacklustre graphic. If you have a PS4, play it there, it's not worth playing it handheld. I can't see anything properly on a small screen with so many jaggies.
Media Molecule's Dreams is going to make this LABO VR looks like trash. Nintendo is never serious about anything, or going in full force. They made 3DS, but barely use the stereo 3D. They made New 3DS, only a few games made use of it's speed advantage. They made HD Rumble, only 1,2 Switch made full use of it.
Nintendo likes creating gimmicks and then lose interest after a while. This cardboard contraption idea and VR are just passing fancy for Nintendo.
@NintendoFan4Lyf Nintendo can prolong the life of Switch with similar cloud streaming. A few years down the road, cloud gaming will be the norm and adding this feature to Switch will make it last forever.
They already beta tested with Capcom in Japan. In the future it could be worldwide.
I bet you: Google will stream many games for free in exchange for ads. You will watch a 1 min commercial every 20 mins of gaming, and you play for free.

Re: Circuits Brings Minimalist Musical Puzzling To The Switch eShop Today
Terrible name for a Switch game. Search the game with Google or Youtube and you get results about electrical switch and circuit.

Re: Review: Unravel Two - Another Confident Switch Port, Perfect For Platforming Fans
@Moroboshi876 Cuphead is just 2D hand drawn sprites, this game is in full 3D. The backdrop scenery is all 3D objects, with dynamic liquid and physics.
Re: Review: Unravel Two - Another Confident Switch Port, Perfect For Platforming Fans
This review did not tell you everything: there is no anti-aliasing. It's so jaggy, it's like playing on a 3DS.
Re: Xenon Racer Brings Futuristic Arcade Racing To Switch Tomorrow, Launch Trailer Released
LOL, looks like a PS2 game on Switch. This is truly blatant false advertising. Fast RMX is the only good looking 60 fps racing game you should buy.

Re: Anniversary: Nintendo 3DS Launched 8 Years Ago Today In Europe

Re: Feature: The Best 3D Platformers On Nintendo Switch

Steamworld Dig 2 is still the best platformer on Switch
Re: Hands On: There's More To Nintendo's Labo VR Than Meets The Eye

Why bother showing this video? Looks no different from xbox version. How do we know it's even the Switch version?
It's a 2D game, of course it runs well. This is not even a 60 fps game by design, even a phone can run this game.
