Switch Reviews

If you haven't heard or played ARMS yet on the Nintendo Switch, there is a good chance you've been living under a rock. Although initially fans were unsure what to think, recent Testpunch events have changed the opinion of many, making ARMS one of the most intriguing releases this year. If ARMS was simply a 1v1 fighting game, perhaps it wouldn't have much mainstream success, but with the addition of many new modes and features, ARMS is poised to be one of Nintendo's biggest hits in 2017!

Disgaea 5 Complete on the Nintendo Switch isn't a game that I was really looking forward to, but media friends pushed me to give it a try calling it one of the best turn-based strategy games available to date. With reluctance, I began my review, and it wasn't long before I was hooked on the depth of strategy presented to me during each and every battle. Even for those who think turn based strategies aren't for them, I would strongly recommend giving Disgaea 5 a go. You probably will be pleasantly surprised.

Over the last few weeks we have been looking at various PowerA accessories for the Nintendo Switch. We gave rave reviews to the Joy-Con grip, and thought that the Joy-Con charging dock was a must own for anyone hoping to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe frequently. But what happens when you want to bring your Switch on vacation, or to a friends house? There are only a few official options right now, and the Everywhere Messenger Bag from PowerA is…

Last week, PowerA was nice enough to send over a box full of great Nintendo Switch accessories, and this week we will be reviewing each and every one of them! Yesterday, we showed the incredible value of the PowerA Joy-Con Charging Dock which charges up to 4 Joy-Con controllers at one time. Today, we are looking at a less necessary accessory, although one that you might want to pick up anyways. Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers are fairly expensive, so many…

If you were planning on grabbing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, or even Splatoon 2 on the Nintendo Switch, you also probably snapped up a couple extra Joy-Con controllers so you can engage in some four player local multiplayer! If you are like me, and have multiple Switch units in your house, you might have purchased even MORE Joy-Cons. While having a ton of Joy-Cons is great, and although the batteries in the controllers last a fair amount of time, you…

If you wish current video games were as difficult as the games you played in the late 80s and early 90s, you are in luck if you own an Xbox One. Cuphead provides that challenging package you might be looking for, but be aware: it's really, REALLY hard, and there is a good chance you won't have a lot of fun. Cuphead will appeal to a very niche audience, but I wonder how well it will do long term.

There aren't a lot of games available right now on the Nintendo Switch, and even less selection when you begin breaking down the categories by genre. It seems that New Frontier Days might be the first city simulation game to market, and that could bode well for the company when it comes to sales.

When Bomberman was announced I was fairly excited, but when I saw the initial purchase price, I quickly stepped back. Full retail price for Bomberman? Although I was skeptical that a Bomberman title could fetch that type of financial commitment, I've changed my tune slightly while playing through it. If you plan on being very social with your Nintendo Switch, Bomberman is probably the title you will currently want to invest in!

It's been well over a week since we launched and played 1-2 Switch for the first time, and although we've had fun when playing it, the constant struggle with the entry price is making this title really hard to recommend. I've seen numerous people accurately describe this as, "A great game as long as you didn't pay for it." While the majority of this review will focus on that statement, lets kick it off by looking at what comes on the card!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is massive, and seemingly full of outstanding feature after outstanding feature. While not everything is at 100% throughout the adventure, my low points where inevitably a result of my own short comings, not that of the game. Much time and effort went into taking the Legend of Zelda in a whole new direction, and I'm not sure Nintendo could have done any better.
