Why I'm not making the 'Switch'

I wish to preface this article by saying there’s nothing I find wrong with the Switch. It looks like a fantastic console, and I can’t wait to get my hands on one. If you want to get a Switch at launch, by all means do so. This article is just my personal reasons on why I won’t be buying one at launch. It has been said countless times before, software sells hardware. You need to have the games in ...

Nicalis is Bringing 1001 Spikes and Cave Story to Nintendo Switch

Update: Nicalis deleted their tweet. It's very likely that they weren't supposed to show off the UI of the Switch under a Non-Disclosure Agreement with Nintendo and that the games are still coming. Nicalis, who are bringing The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth + to Switch at launch, teased us a few minutes ago on Twitter with a picture of 1001 Spikes and Cave Story on the Switch UI. Although they haven't technically offici...

Breath of the Wild Rendered at 900p on Switch, Wii U Version Requires 3 GB Install

We already found out the digital file size of Breath of the Wild. Now we have confirmation that the Wii U retail version also requires at least 3GB of space for an install that is required to play the game. So either way - you'll have to use up a bit of space if you plan on playing the Wii U version. Nintendo also told IGN that the Nintendo Switch version of the game is rendered in 900p in TV mode, while the Wii U versi...

Did the ability to hold two items mean that it was a sequel to Double Dash? Would there finally be a proper battle mode? In a trailer released after the Nintendo Switch presentation, we finally found out that the footage we saw was Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which will be comin...

Many were hoping that we would see this game on March 3 alongside the launch of the ...
