Furi Set For Switch Release Early Next Year
One of the more interesting things about the Switch is seeing what ports from other platforms the system receives. The form factor of the console’s ability to be played on the big screen and on the go has made it an appealing proposition for games to make the switch to Nintendo’s system.

Thoughts on Dragon Ball FighterZ Closed Beta
In my first post for Middle of Nowhere Gaming, I talked about the Dragon Ball FighterZ closed beta and the sign up for it. At the opinion part of the post I had hoped I would get my hands on a PS4 beta code by the time the beta rolled out; even signed up for three different emails to increase my chances. It seemed lady luck shined her light on me because I got a beta code much to my surprise. When I say surprisingly I mean it because friends I know who are the biggest fans of fighting games did not get one, I was the only one they knew who actually got one.
