A pair of prominent Switch Joy-Con drift lawsuits have reached their conclusions, and both are being dismissed.
The first one, Diaz vs. Nintendo, was filed in 2019. Carbajal vs. Nintendo then started up in 2020. Game File reports that “the parents who brought the suits on behalf of their children have called for the cases’ dismissal.” It’s unclear what led them to that decision currently. Both claimed that Nintendo knowingly sold defective controllers.

[Rapid Review] Biomutant
Posted on 7 months ago by Edan(@@Virtualboi92) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 14, 2024
Developer: Experiment 101
Publisher: THQ Nordic
THQ Nordic’s Biomutant had a rocky upbringing. Much like the pint sized, furry denizens of the game’s open world, the origins of this troubled title are mired in mystery, and drawn out over what feels like eons. Back when the game was originally announced, it showed a level of promise and originality that genuinely raised eyebrows. Much ado was made about how the game’s developer, Experiment 101, had a level of creative liberty that – in this day and age – was uncommon. If anything, Biomutant exuded that “Double A” feeling – a game that was allowed to be what its creators wanted to be, unconstrained by the expectations of executive decision makers. Fast forward to the game’s launch in 2021 for PS4, Xbox One and PC – and then again to 2024, and we’ve been graced with a port of Biomutant for the Switch. Should THQ Nordic have bothered?
