Skyrim on Nintendo Switch is a very good port of a very good game, and getting it to run on Nintendo’s hardware couldn’t have been an easy task even though the game is getting up there in years. Digital Foundry took a deep dive into this version of the game to talk about how Bethesda was able to pull it off, and what concessions needed to be made for Nintendo’s relatively underpowered hardware compared to its competition. “While docked, Skyrim operates at a native 1600 x 900, while playing in mo

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are the latest games to fill that role. The changes are good, but the good stuff hasn’t changedMuch like Sun and Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon take players to the tropical Alola region. Sun and Moon told the most linear and original narrative to date in the Pokémon series, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon refine it. Until the last handful of hours, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon aren’t all that different from Sun and Moon. But there’s nothing quite so exciting about Ultra

If you played Destiny, you may be familiar with Xur, the weekly exotic item merchant. This scales to your character’s power level, so make sure you’re buying Xur exotics on your highest level character. Hard Light is one of those rare cases where the weapon quality depends entirely on the platform you play Destiny 2 on. The exotic perk, Vampire’s Caress, will grant health regeneration, melee ability energy, class ability energy and grenade energy on melee attacks. Similar to the Titan offering t

But it still resonated enough to start warming me up to Future Man, especially because the show didn’t play any of these characters

The microtransactions are gone from Star Wars Battlefront 2, at least for the moment. The fans, with their days, if not weeks, of outrage over the paid content, have won their fight against Electronic Arts. This happened after EA had already slashed the costs to unlock the game’s most popular heroes by 75 percent. If players didn’t cut EA off at the knees with this game, everyone else might have thought it was fair game to ram insulting, player-hostile monetization into well-loved franchises. Th

There was the expected craze for the SNES Classic at its launch, but that demand clearly stayed high through October. When Nintendo announced the SNES Classic in late June, the company promised to produce “significantly more” units than it did
