I love to review games that are a perfect fit for the console I’m playing them on, as if they were made with the console in mind. Rift of The NecroDancer is one such game. I first saw it revealed as a Nintendo Switch release, so I have always thought…
According to a report from Vooks, it appears as if physical versions of “Switch 2 Enhanced” games will contain the full game and its upgrades on the same cartridge. This follows after a Nintendo UK rep stated otherwise. It’s safe to say that Nintendo has mostly botched the messaging around…

With how often I still play Splatoon 2 I hadn’t realized it’s already been out for almost a year now. The ink-splashed sequel has been a Switch mainstay since July 21st last year, with all the new maps, weapons, modes, and more letting the undersea good times roll. After the…
If you want to scratch that strategy RPG itch on Switch and 3DS then you can’t really go wrong with Circle Entertainment’s Mercenaries Saga trilogy. If you’ve already exhausted them, though, you’ll be happy to hear the publisher is taking the series further exclusively on Switch later this year. …
