Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #257: The Switch’s Cloud Solution
I am a huge Nintendo Switch fan. I guess some people might even consider me a Nintendo fanboy. But even I realize that the Nintendo Switch isn’t the most powerful console out there. There are third party games that the system just can not handle. So what’s the solution? It looks like Nintendo and third parties think its the Cloud.

February 21st is not that far away, but it will mark the 35th anniversary of one of Nintendo's biggest franchises.

Read MoreWhere Have the Z-List Film Tie-in Games Gone?
No licensed music, characters that look nothing like their film counterparts and stories that only slightly resemble the source material – tie-in games used to be things of beauty. Alas, those days have gone. Development is harder than ever, taking years and years. Throwing together Hogwarts in six months is no longer an option. It’s more than a little depressing. There’s an entire generation of children who’ll never buy the worst video games just because they recognize the face of…
