Well whether they did it reluctantly or not, they didn’t waste any time. The iOS version has already been patched to add a skip button.

I know the recent Doom ports have generated a lot of debate here, but this seems the most appropriate thread to put this. It's another Digital Foundry Analysis video on the recent Doom 1, 2 and 3 ports to Switch, PS4 and Xbox One by Nerve (who also did the wonderful XBLA 360 versions).
A very short summary is that they call the Doom 1/2 ports 'mediocre' stating 'that they aren't good enough in their current state'.
- Bad scaling (so messy in action)
- Incorrect and stretched aspect ratio
- Poor lighting
- Bad sound (wrong music playback speed and poor quality sound effects)
- Frame cap at 35 fps
- The much maligned 'DRM' (which if your console is in sleep mode will pop up on the screen every 10 seconds) - although this should be patched out.
Thankfully Doom 3 is much better. Apart from the skippable sign-in screen the game is full 60fps and 720p-1080p on Switch, or 1080p on base Xbox One and PS4. Going all the way to native 4K on the PS4 Pro/XBX. There are some issues with frame rates on Switch reaching the 60fps target although the Switch runs better in handheld mode due to the drop to 720p.
So it sounds like the Doom 3 port is a great way to play that game. As with most DF videos very much worth a watch if they are something you enjoy.Last edited by Digfox; 01-08-2019, 09:18.

They're doing a limited-time Pokémon Centre in London (Westfield Shepherd's Bush, to be precise) this October to coincide with the release of the new games on Switch. On one hand it's a shame that it's not permanent, on the other hand, this is probably quite merciful to some of my friends who'd bankrupt themselves otherwise.

EDIT: https://nintendoeverything.com/pop-u...ing-to-london/
"Update: The Pokemon Company has announced that it will indeed only be a temporary location. The Pokemon Center will be open in the Westfield Shopping Centre between October 18 and November 15 this year.
It seems like London will be getting its own Pokemon Center (shops that exclusively sell Pokemon merchandise) soon. Assets for the location appeared on a press site this morning, but so far there has been no official announcement from The Pokemon Company and no further details are available. However, the press assets describe this as a “pop-up” Pokemon Center, meaning that this is likely only a temporary and not a permanent store. We will keep you updated."Last edited by QualityChimp; 05-08-2019, 10:58.

He tries to talk to me about Ditto and Bulbasaur, but I have to feign interest.
I don't think I finished Red on the Game Boy and never played any subsequent games.
However, it'd be fun to visit and there are worse shops to be dragged around.

Yeah it "genuinely doesn't interest you".
Just like you have "no interest" in videogames and theme parks. It's just "for your son".
It's OK QC. This is a safe place.
That's cool news regarding the temporary Pokemon Centre. Might check it out. Thing is you have to go into a Westfield to get to it...which is always a bloody nightmare :/
