Nintendo highlights how its series have grown on Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch, Wii U | 0 comments
Given how Switch is one of Nintendo’s best-selling platforms of all time, it’s been no surprise to see that many game series have taken off on the system. This has now been highlighted in an official graphic.
Nintendo has given us a look at how Pikmin, Kirby, Metroid, and Xenoblade Chronicles have performed on Switch. When put up against Wii U and 3DS, the comparison isn’t really close. It’s true that Switch hardware sold significantly more than those two older platforms (especially Wii U), but it’s noteworthy nonetheless.
Nintendo Switch 2 to support backwards compatibility, Switch Online
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Nintendo just gave an update on Switch 2 during its Corporate Management Policy Briefing. According to president Shuntaro Furukawa, backwards compatibility is planned – meaning you’ll be able to play current Switch software on the system. Furthermore, Nintendo Switch Online will be extended to the new platform.
In hindsight, both of these elements feel like fairly obvious inclusions. For one thing, Nintendo has looked to continually increase the appeal of Switch Online over the years with additional benefits, including last week’s launch of Nintendo Music. Also, while there have been some exceptions, Nintendo has been known for its backwards compatibility functionality with many of its devices.

In any case, here’s the complete schedule:

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Nintendo Switch review
Posted on 1 month ago by Edan(@@Virtualboi92) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 31, 2024
Developer: GSC Game World / Mataboo
Publisher: GSC Game World
As a platform, the Switch has treated us to some serious wildcard franchise appearances over the last seven years. Few would have bet in 2017 that the hybrid console’s library would eventually be bolstered by almost every Saints Row, Sniper Elite, Metal Gear Solid, and Resident Evil game – to name but a few. However, here we are, being machine-gunned with ports and re-releases that continuously cement the Switch’s status as a Nintendo all-timer. As if our collective Switch-port bingo cards weren’t already full to the brim, GSC Gameworks have emerged forth, bringing the entire S.T.A.L.K.E.R trilogy lovingly nestled under their arm. Hang on – what?
