Who is the first party with the best Switch graphics?

The review media Digital Foundry compared several released NS games to select the most impressive works in terms of visual technology.

The games selected by Shumaoshe include "Metroid Prime Remake", "Super Mario Bros. Marvel", "Xenoblade Chronicles 3", "Kingdom of Tears", "Breath of the Wild", "Luigi's Mansion 3", "Mario Odyssey", "Super Mario RPG: Remake", "Metroid: Survival Fear", "Paper Mario: The Origami King", etc.

In the end, Luigi's Mansion 3 stood out among many strong competitors. Shumao pointed out that in terms of visual effects, Luigi's Mansion 3 seems to have surpassed the performance of the Switch hardware and provided something very special: for example, very good real-time lighting effects, shadow effects, screen space ambient occlusion and reflection lighting are all excellent. Shumao said that its visual effects "are far beyond what we usually see on Switch, and it feels like a game designed for a more powerful platform."


Monster Hunter Wildlands supports cross-platform

The official Twitter account of "Monster Hunter" shared information about the "cross-platform play" of the latest game in the series, "Monster Hunter: Wildlands".

Official statement:

  • Monster Hunter: Wildlands Coming to PC Steam, Xbox Series, and PS5

  • Players can matchmake with other players on all supported platforms (but PS5 requires a PS+ subscription, while Xbox Series requires a Game Pass Core or Ulitimate subscription)

  • Players can turn cross-platform play on/off in-game

  • You can also become friends on different platforms

Cross-platform archiving and cross-platform transactions are not supported. Saved data (game progress and purchased DLC information, etc.) will be saved on each platform separately. Therefore, saved data cannot be shared between different platforms.


Capcom Talks Mega Man Sequel

Recently, at the 45th Capcom shareholders meeting, an attendee asked about the company's plans for the Mega Man series. Capcom said: "Mega Man is one of our most valuable IPs, and we are considering how to continue making games for it."

However, fans of Mega Man don't need to be happy too soon, because Capcom also responded to this question a year ago, and the statement was similar. In recent years, Mega Man has only launched a number of collections of old works to make money, and the latest work "Mega Man 11" was released in 2018. It is really too difficult to wait for a new Mega Man game.


No Man's Sky Online Gains Biggest Growth in 4 Years

Last week, No Man's Sky released a major free update, "World Part One", which not only added new plants, animals, and gameplay, but also significantly upgraded the visual effects, which received widespread acclaim. Earlier, the total positive rating on Steam exceeded 80%, and in the past 30 days it has reached 93%. With years of stable and high-quality updates, many players praised No Man's Sky for being the best continuously operating game.

The popularity of the game has also increased significantly in recent times. According to Steamdb data, more than 48,499 players flocked to "No Man's Sky" within just 24 hours after the update was launched. It is reported that this is the largest surge in the number of players of the game since August 2019.


The promotional image of "SVC" was zzzq

During Evo 2024, the remake of the fighting game "SNK vs. Capcom: Millennium of Ranbu" was officially released. While maintaining the graphics and operability of the original, this game has newly implemented rollback code and tournament mode to achieve more comfortable online battles.

However, some netizens found that there were obvious differences in the promotional materials of the Japanese and English versions of the game. In the latter, Mai Shiranui's appearance had a lot of cloth added to cover sensitive parts of the body, while Athena's lower body was completely covered.

This incident has sparked heated discussions among players. Some players believe that in the movement advocating "cultural awakening" in the Western world, SNK does not seem to have responded to this call, and the female images in its new works such as "Fatal Fury" have not been downplayed. On the contrary, this behavior is more like Capcom's request.



Stardew Valley is really good

Stardew Valley author ConcernedApe recently stated on social media that the game will not release paid DLC or updates as long as he is alive.

ConcernedApe said on social media: "I swear on my family's honor that as long as I live, I will never charge for DLC or updates. If I break this oath, please cut this paragraph and shame me."

New update of "Hundred Heroes" is online

Recently, the official announced that the "60th Day Patch" update for "Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes" for all platforms has been launched. This update is to improve the game's functionality and stability.

In addition, the upcoming story DLC for Hundred Heroes will also be announced. While no further details have been revealed, a previous roadmap listed three DLC chapters for the game, each focusing on a different character. The first chapter will launch in August, featuring Marisa - Seign, while Markus will take center stage in September and October.


Cybertruck is coming to Fortnite and Rocket League

Epic announced that "Rocket League" and "Fortnite" will collaborate with Tesla, and starting from July 23, the electric pickup Cybertruck will appear in the game.
