Now, as detailed by Games Fray (thanks, VGC), we have a vague idea of how Pocketpair might be looking to present its defence. In short, Pocketpair argues that Nintendo’s patents-in-suit…
CD Projekt RED spills the beans. CD Projekt RED has confirmed to Digital Foundry that the Switch 2 launch title, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, will make use of DLSS, Nvidia’s AI-powered upscaling system. “We’re using a version of DLSS available for Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, powered by Nvidia’s Tensor cores,” a CD Projekt RED representative…
Forever with you; never with us. True love lasts forever – and so do some games. Tokimeki Memorial: Forever with You, the legendary dating sim from 1995, is hooking up with Switch next month to celebrate 30 years on the scene. Immaculately presented but bewilderingly complex, TokiMemo is a foundational piece of video game history…
