It has confirmed some time back that Dark Souls will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch. Bandai Namco has finally confirmed what the Dark Souls: Remastered Nintendo Switch release date is. The game is going to land on this platform in a couple of months from now after making its mark on competing platforms.
The Nintendo Switch port of Dark Souls will run at full 1080p HD resolution when the console is docked in TV mode and will run at 720p in handheld mode. It will have a frame rate of 30 frames per second. The title will also have support for up to six players in the online mode. All DLC is included in the remastered version.
Bandai Namco has confirmed that the remastered Dark Souls port is going to be released for the Nintendo Switch on October 19th alongside its matching amiibo. Bandai Namco had actually said that it would release the game in Summer 2018 but that didn’t exactly happen.
It properly took more time than expected to port this title over to the Nintendo Switch. A remastered version has previously been launched for other platforms as well. PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC got it on May 25th as per the schedule.
Praise The Sun! DARK SOULS: Remastered for #NintendoSwitch and the Solaire of Astora amiibo will launch on Oct. 19th! Journey to Lordran and experience the groundbreaking action-RPG on the go!

Apple might be working on multi-user support for Siri, its digital personal assistant, if a new patent approval for the company is any indication. Apple has been granted a patent which details how a voice recognition system will be able to identify users based on their speech and then perform tasks by responding to their respective commands. It would vastly improve the Siri experience on devices like the HomePod speaker.
It’s possible that the voice recognition system detailed in this patent may form the foundation for Siri to get multi-user support. Siri is only capable of responding to whoever is speaking so it can respond to anyone in the vicinity when the “Hey, Siri” hotword is spoken. This voice recognition system will let users set up profiles on their device and Siri will then be able to match the voice of whoever is speaking to the profiles that it has stored onboard.
This will also enable the device’s primary user to restrict certain information like messages or contacts from being divulged by Siri to someone else. This system might be able to do more than just that. It could form an entire library of words based on the user’s speech patterns and then save those preferences to learn new words in order to best adapt to each individual user.
However, the thing with patents is that companies routinely file them with forward-thinking technologies, even if they have no intention of bringing it to market. It is as yet unclear if and when Apple will be adding multi-user support to Siri.
