It may only be due for release next week but Amazon US has already surprised us with the best price for The Witcher 3 on Switch so far. They’ve slashed a good $10 off the recommended price bringing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition on Switch to $49.94. It’s a solid price drop that’s about as stunning as knowing The Witcher 3 is capable of running on Nintendo’s sweet little console. If you’ve played the mega-RPG in the past do you think you’ll be tempted back to play it on the go at this price? You get a few neat bonuses in the Complete Edition, too. As well as the main game and both expansions, you’ll also receive 16 smaller DLC packs, a Witcher universe compendium, map and sticker set. If you can a look around Amazon US, you’ll find that The Witcher 3 is not the only Switch game they’ve dropped below $50. An array of popular new and old titles can be found for that price – or even less in some cases. … [Read more...] about The Witcher 3 on Switch is under $50 right now

Yooka-Laylee is a marquee example of misguided nostalgia as the Kickstarted throwback ended up being a boring, dated 3D platformer that couldn’t hang with the current genre stars. To combat that tepid reception, Playtonic squished the series down into 2.5D and more closely chased after Donkey Kong Country over Banjo-Kazooie with its latest game, YOOKA-LAYLEE AND THE IMPOSSIBLE LAIR. Losing half of a dimension was a wise choice in many regards as it builds a better game around that style but it lacks some of the precise controls needed to fully bring it into the modern platformer era. Although it’s not archaic in every aspect as it has quite a few elements that add to rather than directly borrow from the established platformer formula. Instead of a static hub world that serves as a glorified menu that lets you choose stages, The Impossible Lair’s map plays out more like a 3D adventure game that is littered with puzzles and secrets. ALSO: Every Nintendo 64 game … [Read more...] about Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair Review

UFC Fighter Kevin Lee is a popular name among the Mixed Martial Arts community for his performance in the arena, but he is now under the spotlight for very different reasons. While driving to Montréal, Lee found himself on a highway and decided to put his Tesla in Autopilot mode. He then proceeded to snap his Nintendo Switch to the windshield and play some Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Kevin Lee said during the video (via Kotaku) that he had to “share this with somebody,” and he surely did, but not to the most positive reactions. It wasn’t hard to guess, considering that even Lee’s mom wasn’t too keen on the whole idea after she saw the video. As Lee wrote on his Instagram post, “My momma cussed me out when I sent her this video otw to Montréal but if my insurance go up I know it’s because instagram snitching.” ALSO: Smash Bros. Goku cameo will never happen, creator reiterates once again His comments area is flooded with users … [Read more...] about UFC Fighter Kevin Lee puts Tesla in autopilot, plays Smash Bros

Bringing order to randomness can be incredibly calming. I’ve been able to find that joy in the farms of Stardew Valley and even in the dismal world of Frostpunk. But sometimes the narrative of these games gets in the way of what I’m really after: an easy way to feel calm amid the chaos of life. But I recently stumbled upon Wilmot’s Warehouse, a charming game out now on Mac, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC, and it’s my new go-to destination for instant peace. In Wilmot’s Warehouse, I spend each round of play sorting a truckload of various objects. In the first half of each turn, I must run around and organize my deliveries in a massive, empty warehouse. Once organized, the second phase begins and I must fulfill orders from various coworkers who request items from me. Each of my coworkers will request any number of objects in the warehouse, and it’s up to me to grab each set and run it back to fulfill their orders in a timely manner. Nearly every bit … [Read more...] about Wilmot’s Warehouse is a small piece of chaotic zen

Killer Queen Black, the port of the well regarded indie arcade game Killer Queen, will launch on Nintendo Switch and Windows PC (via Steam and Discord) on Oct. 11, developer Liquid Bit announced this morning.
