Since the Nintendo Switch launched, its eShop was missing a feature from its Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo 3DS siblings. Titles could be reviewed on a five-star system and gauged if they’re for everyone, casual players, or those who prefer intense gameplay. If you’re visiting a Switch game’s information page…
Creative, mobile-based title A Normal Lost Phone is hitting the Nintendo Switch on March 1st. The game is a story focused experience that takes place within the framing device of the game being a lost phone found by the player — a concept that, while inventive for a mobile interface,…
The neo revolution continues in Splatoon 2! Each week a new weapon is making its way to Ammo Knights — and Sheldon is more than happy to talk about his latest discovery. Entering the game today is the Luna Blaster Neo. Paired with the Ink Mine sub and Suction-Bomb Launcher…
We’ve seen a good amount of merchandise for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild hit shelves and online shops ever since the game’s release on Switch and Wii U last year. While a new Link figure itself should come to no surprise as a release for series…
