Now playing

Here’s the opening 22 minutes of The Outer Worlds on Switch running in handheld mode. It’s...not pretty. While the game plays mostly fine, the vibrant visuals of the original have been lost in a blurry haze of down-scaling.

Grandia HD Collection, featuring the first two games in the series, is coming to Switch August 16. It’s the first time both games will appear on a Nintendo console. If you don’t have a Switch or can’t stand to wait another week an HD version of Grandia II is currently on Steam.

The beautifully animated action adventure game Iconoclasts lands on Switch August 2. Think of it as a fusion of Metroid and Mega Man that controls like a dream and explores the role of religion in shaping a society. You can watch Kotaku’s Tim Rogers interview the creator here.
