With the release of The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, Easter eggs and history of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. A Link Between Worlds was developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the spiritual successor to the Super Nintendo classic The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Through our analysis of the game, its gameplay, and its beta builds, we aim to bring you the most interesting facts we can find.

NieR Automata is coming out soon and many are wondering if the final game is not only a great playing experience but also a stable one. With Platinum Games developing this title, the expectation for a well-running games is present and based off Digital Foundry’s findings, it’s solid.
The game runs at 900p/60FPS on base PS4 with it largely staying around 40-50FPS most of the time while the PlayStation 4 Pro not only gets 1080p resolution but also a more stable frame rate. Both versions are playable, but one thing that DF points out is how well the game shifts different gameplay styles within it’s engine but never having problems.
You could be fighting robots on the ground one moment but the next you are flying fighter jets in a top-down shooter section. It mixes things up (like the original NieR) but with Platinum Game’s on board for development, the glue holding things together is quite strong.

Breath of the Wild released for the Switch launch and many are enjoying it. But how does the finished game run? Many cited frame rate issues in demo builds across Wii U and Nintendo Switch in past press events, so the final release has some hopeful for better frame rates.
Digital Foundry found the answer and the end result is a bit surprising. The portable mode runs at a stable 30FPS with few dips but when docked it mirrors performance seen in the Wii U build of the game. This means that when you dock the Switch, you get frame rate dips into the 20’s when out in the field or when in large bunches of foliage.
The reasoning for this makes some sense; when in portable mode the game runs at 720p but when you dock it, the resolution boosts to 900p. A higher resolution could be straining the hardware and the end result is a lower base frame rate.

During the PS3 and 360 generation, the Command & Conquer series was getting more popular. Getting releases on PC and consoles alike with quality releases, many wanted to see the series continue. Eletronic Arts saw the success of first person shooters and wanted see if you can blend strategy elements within FPS mechanics. So the project Tiberium was put into development for the PS3/360/PC and was set within the Command & Conquer world.
It was sadly scrapped however and today, YouTube content creator GVMERS explores the history and sad demise of a promising title.

 The Command & Conquer series is one of the most successful real-time strategy franchises of all time. From the original “Tiberium” games to the Red Alert spin-offs, the Generals entries, and beyond, the series has consistently produced some of the most exciting RTS experiences available, with a focus on intense action sequences supported by light base-building and resource-gathering elements.

NieR is a very odd beast of a game. Blending various elements together that don’t normally mesh well (wacky story, gameplay that changes frequently and more) allowed the title to become a classic for many gamers during the PS3/360 generation. With the recent release of NieR Automata on the PlayStation 4 (and coming out on the PC in the future), YouTube content creator Super Bunnyhop put out a video explaining the game.
This includes backstory of the game’s world and setting among other elements (gameplay, lore from prior games in the series, etc). I really enjoyed watching this video, as I became more informed about this series and it got me excited for Automata.
 

One of the launch games for the Nintendo Switch includes the charming little co-op adventure called SnipperClips. Using a mixture of platforming, puzzles and co-op teamwork we have an experience that pushes for you to play with friends. If you want to get a glimpse of the game in action, watch the above video!
