Wii Sports was one incredible little experience. It was the perfect way to launch the Wii console, and it was one of those rare games that got everyone playing. Unfortunately, while Nintendo Switch Sports is very good, it fails to capture the same zeitgeist, and I don’t think we’ll ever…
Read MoreNintendo Switch Sports would have been an excellent launch title pack-in game, much like Wii Sports was back on that console 16 years ago.

Read MoreVideo by Matt S. I have had the opportunity to get some hands-on time with Triangle Strategy and I sincerely think, based on early impressions, that this is going to be a serious game of the year contender. The narrative is gripping. The art is gorgeous. The tactical action is…
