Breath of the Wild breaks new ground by respecting its players
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece.

Games of this magnitude inevitably cause ripples through the industry, and developers will take notes in an attempt to learn from Breath of the Wild’s successes.

Nintendo’s Amiibo Are Worse Than DLC Season Passes
Nintendo’s Amiibo have been hugely successful since day one, with the game maker raking in tons of cash from these small, plastic collectibles with NFC tags embedded within them. Clearly this benefits Nintendo nicely, but are these figures good for the customer? As it turns out, no — and it may even be worse than downloadable content (DLC).

Snipperclips – cut it out together! Review
A Cut Above
With every Nintendo console launch comes a bevy of games seeking to validate whatever unique functionality the game-maker has packed into its new machine. The N64 had Super Mario 64. The Wii had Wii Sports. The Wii U arguably never found its “Aha!” moment, which is one of many reasons why the console failed. Thankfully, the Switch did not have to wait long for developers to capitalize on its appealing features. While The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is proof of concept for incredible, console quality gaming on the go, Snipperclips – cut it out together! has a similar impact for Switch’s phenomenal multiplayer potential.

Rime’s Switch price tag is a giant middle finger
Late last week, the final details about upcoming indie adventure game Rime were revealed. The Tequila Works’ title has soldiered through a troubled development cycle that saw it dropped as a PS4 exclusive to release on PC/PS4/Xbox One on May 26 and on Nintendo Switch at a later date. This is great news for those who have been intrigued by the game since its gorgeous reveal trailer at PlayStation’s Gamescom press conference in 2013. The game was revealed to cost $30 on all platforms, with one exception. While we don’t know when Rime will see its Switch release, we do know that it will cost $40. For those who struggle with math, that is $10 more expensive than the game’s incarnations on other platforms.
What the f*** is that about?
