The Nintendo Switch is a solid piece of hardware that delivers an impressive gameplay experience in a small chassis. But a shallow roster of launch games beyond Zelda along with no concrete plan for legacy retro games leaves the Switch feeling more like...

The Nintendo Switch is a fascinating device that manages to pull off some technological magic with equally disappointing concessions. When it clicks, it feels like the most revolutionary gaming device out there. It's just a pity Nintendo didn't take a lit...
Abstract: Nintendo is making one thing very clear: The Nintendo Switch isn't being replaced anytime soon. Many hope the nearly five-year-old hybrid console will get a successor in the near future, but in an investors Q&A call, Nintendo explained that the console wa...
