'Zelda' on Nintendo Switch won't run in native 1080p
Thinking about upgrading your Nintendo console to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? The company tells IGN that this adventure will be rendered in 720p on the Wii U, and 900p on its upcoming Switch. Of course, resolution isn't everything, and while both versions are locked at 30fps, the Switch version will also feature higher quality environmental sounds.
12 million declassified CIA files are now available online
The CIA has posted a treasure trove of documents online for the first time. That means you no longer have to actually visit the National Archives to get your fix of UFO reports, intelligence bulletins and more info from between the 1940s and 1990.

'Final Fantasy XV' tricked me into buying Cup Noodles
Square-Enix apparently used all that development time to sign up sponsorship deals, since the newest Final Fantasy game is filled with product placement. Sean Buckley caved to temptation and nostalgia, but with Cup Noodles as the result, maybe that's not a bad thing.
