Apple Arcade standout ‘Assemble With Care’ is now on Steam
[ad_1] In the puzzle game Assemble With Care (developed by UsTwo), you’re tasked with repairing a dozen-or-so objects, like a cassette deck, film camera and handheld game console.

Square Enix slashes prices on its ‘Final Fantasy’ Switch games
[ad_1] Hardcore players with some time on their hands could try either Romancing Saga 2 or 3.

‘Exit the Gungeon’ lands on Nintendo Switch today
[ad_1] The game’s status as a timed exclusive wasn’t a surprise; Exit the Gungeon was listed for a May 31 release on Steam and a console release was teased by the developers. But it is unusual to see an indie land on the Switch before it hits PC; usually the ports come a few months […]
‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ is the island escape we all need today

Nintendo prevails in lawsuit over Switch console and JoyCon design
[ad_1] The US Patent and Trademark Office filed a “termination decision document” on its database this week that explains why it ruled in Nintendo’s favor.

‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ has more customization options than ever
[ad_1] Kicks the Skunk, a villager that owns a shoe store, now sells accessories like bags, clothing and other accessories.

How does the Switch Lite fit into your portable gaming life?
[ad_1] The original Switch is a pretty compact device but, if you never hooked it up to a TV, it might not have been diminutive enough. For those players Nintendo introduced the Switch Lite, a smaller and, dare we say, much cuter version of the OG Switch. The Lite can’t be docked and the controllers […]
