Minecraft resolution on Nintendo Switch increased to 1080p when docked
Microsoft managed to get Minecraft to display at a full 1080p on Nintendo Switch when docked. The game received a new patch today, that, among other things, upped the resolution when docked from 720p. Microsoft actually said at launch that the decision to limit it to 720p wasn’t because of a lack of power in the Switch. It left the door open for a future upgrade, and it looks like Mojang figured it out.

Why Can’t Video Games Make My Life Easier and Put Everything on Switch?
A few days ago, I flew to Canada for a friend's bachelor party, prompting me to flip on my Switch for the first time in a few weeks and browse the eShop for a game to play on the flight. I was bummed, though not surprised, to find there wasn't much that interested me, or that I hadn't played elsewhere. But when I look around at the games I haven't spent more time with in 2017— Yakuza 0 and Persona 5, chiefly—all I can do is sigh at my inability to transplant those games to my Switch.

Skyrim on Switch is Everything You Hoped it Would Be
Nintendo’s behind-closed-doors appointments at PAX West always happen in the same tiny room. Well above the bustling show floor, down a very clinical hallway, tucked behind a door that simply reads “Nintendo”, we get to spend about an hour here each year, and get a sneak peak at the Nintendo games that are just over the horizon. This year, we waited in that beige hallway for an extra 10 minutes before we were allowed entry. Our Nintendo rep opened the door just enough to pop his head out.
