Remakes on the Nintendo Switch have become incredibly popular, and the team at Marvelous (Europe and Australia) and XSeed (North America) have worked with the development team to bring this remastered classic to the west. Friends of Mineral Town was LOVED by fans when it was originally released back on the GameBoy Advanced, as it hearkens back to the hay-days of when Harvest Moon was a solid franchise. With a new name, the game is looking for a second lease on life with the Nintendo Switch, pulling in longtime fans and new players in the process. But does it ...

Railway Empire, originally released on PC, XB1 and PS4 in 2018, is a simulator and economic management game by German developer Gaming Minds Studios which allows you to build a railway tycoon from the ground up. While there have been many issues with larger simulator games porting from current-gen consoles and PC over to the Nintendo Switch, a few have managed to do so quite successfully. Will Railway Empire join the sparse ranks of successful ports or will it be yet another game that has to sacrifice too much, and in the wrong places, to make the transition? ...

Burnout Paradise, the last entry in the franchise (so far), has never been on a Nintendo system before. Enter Burnout Paradise Remastered for the Nintendo Switch! As a fan of the franchise, I was pretty excited to see this game come to the system. But does it live up to the hype?

In this modern age of gaming where remakes and remasters are a standard, ONE SPONGE stands alone (not really Patrick and Sandy are there too) to try and breath life again into the platformers of yesteryear? But does this one get the job done or does SpongeBob just leave us all wet? The original game was developed for PS2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube back in 2003 believe it or not. While a major commercial success, overall reviews were middling at…

Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee released on the Xbox in 2001, and was a huge hit. A version was then released for the GBA in 2003, followed by an HD version for PC in 2011. Now, in keeping with current trends, it has been remastered yet again and has dropped on the Nintendo Switch. Both developed and published by Oddworld Inhabitants, the same studio that developed the original Oddworld games all those years ago, the Munch's Oddysee remaster hopes to stoke the dying embers of a once-bright franchise ahead of Soulstorm's release later this year. Will this remaster ...

Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics is a collection of small games, everything from card games to fishing. We've seen Clubhouse Games on portables before but never a full fledged console version. Is Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics worth checking out on the Nintendo Switch? Let's take a look in our full review of Clubhouse Games!

Bioshock has been around for so long at this point it’s almost difficult to remember how excited people were when it first came out.  Through broken street dates, fights over comparisons to System Shock, and evaluations of objectivist philosophy, the one thing the game hadn’t done was appear on a Nintendo console.  Now the original, sequel, and adventure in the sky Bioshock: Infinite are available to take with you on the go on the Nintendo Switch. This was really sort…

One of the titans of the turn-based shooter, XCOM 2, has made its way to the Nintendo Switch! Featuring all of the DLC and the War of the Chosen expansion, the XCOM 2 Collection offers the complete XCOM 2 experience on what is quickly becoming the most popular current-gen console, the Nintendo Switch. As a turn-based game that does not rely on latency, frame rate or even reflexes, it would seem to be a perfect pick-up and put-down game for the Switch. Will this be the case or will the slight performance drops hold it back? Let's take a look!

Not every game that is released on major consoles requires a port to the Nintendo Switch. While we fully support the expansion of gaming - and giving players on Nintendo Switch an opportunity to play games originally launched on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 - not every game ports well to the system. With that being said, when Take Two announced that three bundles would be coming to the Nintendo Switch, I was definitely excited and had high expectations for one of them - Borderlands Legendary Collection.
