Update: Switch 1 confirmed, too.
Well, here’s a nice piece of news! Fresh off a couple of nominations at The Game Awards, it looks like AdHoc Studio’s superhero workplace comedy Dispatch will be flying onto Switch and Switch 2 early next year.
A surprise listing has popped up on the Australian eShop (thanks to Vooks for the heads up), displaying the game and a free Switch 2 upgrade with a planned 29th January release date.

Oh look, zombies. And in full colou…ah, they’re eating me!
Back in the middle of 1999 (a weird time for everyone, rest assured), British developer HotGen attempted something that was considered to be somewhat of an impossible task. Namely, porting the full glory of 32-bit Resident Evil to the dinky little 8-bit Game Boy Color. In the end, not only did these maestros manage to do it, but they did it in a way that, judging by the gameplay vid above, makes for a more than decent stab at the “impossible”.
Unfortunately, the port was then cancelled and thought lost to time before popping up online in various states throughout the years – though none of these were anywhere near playable from start to finish. That is until now, thanks to Games That Weren’t (thanks to VGC for the heads-up).

More chatter from Myles.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has received mostly positive reception, but it’s safe to say that not everybody is keen on the dialogue from Samus’ Federation Trooper pals. Now, thanks to a video from Bearborg (cheers, VGC), even more unused dialogue has been showcased (from approx 7:38 in the above video).
Accessed by simply listening in to the conversations between the Galactic Federation Troopers at Base Camp in Fury Green, some of the additional dialogue includes musings from VUE-995 about how much it can bench, a new breach technique from Nora Armstrong, and a recollection from Ezra Duke about an unpaid debt back on the planet Tanamaar.

Following the latest update for the Nintendo Switch Online GameCube app (which added Wario World), users are reporting “greatly reduced” input lag for The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
According to a post on Reddit from user ChrisCube64, the reduced input lag has now made the game “actually playable”. The original post reported lag of around 14 frames, but a follow-up comment noted that the speed running community timed the input lag at 6 frames. The update has now reportedly reduced this down to around 4 or 5 frames.
