My Nintendo has updated with a new reward for Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and the site now has alternate covers available for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Keep in mind that the designs are something you print on your own, so they aren’t physical rewards.
In the first design, it looks like Mio takes the spotlight. For the second one, we see one of the Ouroboros players can use in the game. The final one has the full main cast – Noah, Mio, Eurine, Taion, Lanz, and Sena.

Switch has been around for over five years, and we felt now was the best time to share what we feel are the best ports on the console.
There is a common perception regarding Switch (and hybrid consoles in general), that portability requires a sacrifice in playability. Basically, games must play and look worse in order to be in a compact form. While this may be true for some games, developers have proved that this is not always the case.
There are many games that have been ported from other more powerful consoles to Switch that show minimal to no downgrades in their gameplay experiences and graphics. These games range from huge open worlds to quick and snappy shooters, and regardless of playing handheld or docked, they still play perfectly.
Luckily for Switch owners, there are many games that have been ported this well, and a list of all of them could be very long. We’ve narrowed down the top ten Switch ports based on how well the games were reviewed (no one wants to hear about an amazing port of a bad game), and how well the gameplay and graphics were preserved. We have also selected games that were ported from the current generation at the time, as it’s slightly less impressive that a PS3 / Xbox 360 title can run on a handheld.
Without further ado, here are the 10 best Nintendo Switch ports.
