Quick News

Just seen how Hogwarts will be coming to Switch. To me that's just added another zero to the sales figures. To me, the primary Harry Potter audience are Switch owners since they're relatively the same audience who play Animal Crossing and the like. Not having it on Switch would have been a massive loss on that front in my view.


I'm not so sure about that, The game is being pretty heavily downgraded to be playable on the switch but even with that aside the game is nothing like Animal Crossing.

from what I see they are. Literally the only people I've seen get excited about Hogwarts are those who have Switches and have racked up 100s of hours in games like AC:NH and Pokemon, they don't care about PC gaming and stuff like that. Bearing in mind, I'm talking about people I know, not just a flood of usernames online.

Out of my friends and social circle I personally know a grand total of 1 person who owns a switch ^_^

I was thinking of getting one but I think it would've collected dust more than anything as the only game I wanted to try was Breath of the Wild and thanks to the power of emulation I don't need to buy another piece of hardware :p

Just glad to hear you are getting better mate. That's the most important thing

Take care of yourself buddy

I have a lot more free time in the evenings so if you need me to step up I'd be more than happy to help with writing news articles, I'd love to properly contribute :)

On a side note, The Legacy of Hogwarts looks sooooooooooooo good !


Thanks folks. I am on the mend. Just taking time to get up to my usual pace.

Need to have a look at Legacy of Hogwarts. Looks interesting.

that's fair. Mine on the other hand has been used more than any of my consoles and my PC combined since I got it back in 2017. The way it changes between docked and portable seamlessly is what sold me and still continues to do so, haha.

The switch to UE5 is a huge deal. I'd prefer they have their own engine so they can continue making great games and not be reliant upon Epic Games but if they think this is the best choice then it can only mean their ambition is very high and UE5 is better suited to handle it.

I guess we will find out in 10 years lol

Dice you just download the file then replace the games DLSS file with the newer one correct? Doesn't cause any issues in your experience?


Correct, Just copy/paste the newer DLSS file in but make sure to backup the older one, Haven't run into any problems so far and have seen improvements in several games over their default DLSS dll.

E3 hasnt been relevant since the big 3 console companies took over the entire event with flashy presentations and a bunch of overhyped stuff, it gotten to the point that "winning e3" was actually a thing people cared about instead of all the other cool stuff that was pushed to the side and most coverage by the press just walked by the smaller games and cool tech.


Last time i was hyped for e3 was like? 2006 or 2007?
