Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-10 20:56:08

A video shows how different storage media can affect Mario Kart World load times. CD Projekt Red VP of Technology Charles Tremblay has alluded to this same challenge when talking about the Switch 2 port of Cyberpunk 2077. In a June interview with IGN, Tremblay said the data transfer speeds enabled by MicroSD Express were "great," while streaming data from a Switch 2 Game Card was merely "okay." Tremblay did go on to say that "all the performance we have on [input/output] is very good on [the Sw

Finally, You Can Cuddle With a Cute Camera-Clad AI Robot That Feels Jealousy

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-12 04:21:14

Lots of people had stuffed animals when they were little. My personal favorite was a teddy bear in army fatigues, named—you guessed it—Army Bear. Fidel Castro was already taken, unfortunately. As much as I loved Army Bear, I remember thinking, “This would be so much more adorable with an on-device LLM designed to understand cloud-free natural language prompts and enable object recognition via computer vision.” And finally, almost 30 years later, SwitchBot has answered my very real and not-at-all

Nintendo's Latest Updated Switch 2 Game Has Me Hungering for More

Although the Nintendo Switch 2 is only a few months old, new games, or at least updated ones, keep emerging at a steady, slow clip. Kirby and the Forgotten Land, which was one of my favorite late-era Switch games, got an upgraded edition that's available this week. The full title, Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World, is unwieldy in name, much like the recent Mario Party Jamboree upgrade.

It clicked with me as soon as I tried it, and I've been using one since they came out back in 2017. However, it's not without its issues. There are 3 main areas where the sheen of perfection wears off: It uses a micro-USB port to charge. The switches are a little loud and clicky. The software is bloated. After

The Monty Hall problem comes from an old game show called Let's Make a Deal, hosted by Monty Hall.

The Nintendo 64 was a fantastic console, home to generation-defining games such as Super Mario 64 and GoldenEye 007. With its four built-in controller ports, it revolutionized multiplayer gaming in front of the TV, and it was the first mainstream console to introduce an analog stick, essential for navigating the burgeoning 3D worlds the medium was starting to deliver.

‘Kirby Air Riders’ on Switch 2 Makes a Better Case for the GameCube Than Nintendo Ever Did

I’m tired after a full day’s work—somewhere between fried and manic—but the racing game, which director Masahiro Sakurai quipped in his Tuesday Nintendo Direct was “basically Mario Kart,” is akin to being thrown hurtling down the mouth of a kaleidoscope at 200 miles per hour.

‘Witchboard’ Summons a Fun but Uneven Remake of a Cult Classic

Released in 1986, the original Witchboard‘s cultural impact lingers mostly because it stars Tawny Kitaen—known more for being a music-video vixen than an actor. But the stunt casting works: her character’s Ouija board curiosity turns tragic when an evil spirit takes a shine to her, possibly lured in by her perfectly teased hair. The movie delivers more cheese than frights, but you can easily see why it became a cult classic. Less clear is why Witchboard needed a remake, especially one that only
