Reviews by Matt S. It’s time for another edition of short ‘n sweet reviews with the Nintendo Switch; the console that keeps on giving. Once again, I’m looking at a series of games that are already available on other consoles, but have made their way to the Nintendo Switch, adding…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. One of the genres that the Nintendo Switch is going to struggle with is racing games that are more serious in tone than Mario Kart. It has nothing to do with the power of the console, but rather, the way it’s designed. Specifically, it lacks analogue…
