I absolutely adored last year’s Nitro Deck from CRKD. After purchasing one late last year, it’s become one of my favorite Nintendo Switch accessories. I didn’t get the chance to review it when it first launched, but with CRKD’s reveal and release of the updated model, the Nitro Deck+, I…

Tekken, an elaborate and fluid 3D fighting game series, has been going steadily since its 1994 arcade launch. As Namco’s premier fighting franchise, it’s quite impressive that 30 years later we are just days away from Tekken 8, at least if you’re playing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series or PC….
