Or they just ended up bending it, since it is possible with enough force. Though the console is pretty durable otherwise, so who knows. (Though you'll want a screen protector for it, since the screen is plastic, not glass.)

Mine was bent out of the box (in a real obvious way); I hadn't really touched it or anything. It seemed like there was contact between the rails inside the dock and the Switch screen all the way down so I just put a nice screen protector on it and I'm happy.

It was some pages ago, but fun fact: A big contributing reason the Wii U had gently caress all and the Switch gets about 1 major first/second party IP a month so far is that with the Wii U, Nintendo literally had to retrain themselves to have efficient workflow pipelines with games which used HD assets. The rest of the industry had gotten this down in the 360/PS3 era, but because the original Wii was basically a GameCube with waggle tacked on, they literally had no idea how to go about making HD games internally at first.

I've heard this before, and I'm genuinely curious -- does creating HD art assets really take that much more time and effort than creating other art assets? It was my impression that assets have always been drawn at very high resolution, then downscaled to the appropriate resolution for the platform -- is that not the case?

I mean maybe? But the tools also improve so I think it's a stupid point.

I would assume the bottleneck/pain points would not be in asset creation but in the technical aspects of animation and physics for those assets. It's not just that things look prettier but because they look more realistic we also expect them to behave in more realistic ways

Square Enix have released a new trailer for Lost Sphear, and announced its release date.

It's coming on October 12th in Japan, and January 23rd 2018 in the West. It'll cost 5 800 Yen in Japan, it'll be getting both an eShop and Retail release. In the West, the Retail release will only be available through SE's online store, but you get some pre-order bonuses with it.

This looks terrible. A mini golf game where you just get hole in ones every time with power ups and trying to get high scores with gems? Hard pass.

Maybe if I could read Japanese that wouldn't be the least exciting trailer I've ever seen but so far I'm not holding out much hope of it being more interesting than Setsuna.

The way it was described to me was "If you liked chrono trigger for the gameplay and didn't care at all about the plot, you'll enjoy IAS". Which was enough to convince me to not buy it ever. Reading TDI's LP of it is on my to do list, just...really low on it.

For the few here who still Minecraft: A patch was released for the Switch edition that now bumps the resolution on TV mode up to 1080p. So now you can Minecraft with higher detail.

I've been playing Extella since Friday, it performs well when docked and will tide me over until the FE musou comes out. Buttloads of mooks on screen without slowdowns.

The game is not very demanding though, it wouldn't look out of place on PS3/360/WiiU.
