Review by Matt S. The best way to think of Miitopia is as a silly little playground, and that it’s a very personal playground. The experience that you’re having with it is only ever going to make sense to you. A friend or family member, should they walk into the…

Review by Matt S. We’ve seen quite a few free-to-play mobile rhythm games be re-packaged up as premium experiences and released on Nintendo Switch. Deemo, Cytus, Voez, Musynx, Lanota, and probably some others that I’m missing. As a fan of the genre, I’ve enjoyed all of these, and I enjoy…
