All the DLC/Content plus amiibo support

addictive gameplay (Skyrim does support motions control but there optional)

Skyrim on the go



Part 2 Cons - 7:14 to 15:20

Game still dated (it did come out in 2011 after all). Plus some graphical/performances issues

No mod support (at least for now)

Pretty much the same game from last years special edition

DOOM gameplay footage (Switch Version)

DOOM Review (Switch Version)





My review of Doom on the Nintendo Switch (also on PS4, XboxOne & PC). For gameplay footage click here - https://youtu.be/ogH8cOPfYzM



My original review of DOOM on the PS4 -https://youtu.be/kQwQF0w0els



Part 1 Pro - 0:18 to 4:19

All the content here (like DLC & updates)

Even at 30fps/720p the game runs well

Joy-Cons work well on the Switch version of Doom…



Part 2 Cons - 4:25 to 13:05

…But pro controller is the better option

No SnapMap mode

720p/30fps is going to look like a downgrade to some (graphically you can see the Switch limitations)

The Mummy Demastered Review (Switch Version)





My review of the mummy demastered for the Nintendo Switch (also on PS4, Xbox one & PC/Steam) for gameplay footage click here - https://youtu.be/YIkMplSGV1Q



Part 1 Pro - 0:18 to 6:16

Retro style graphics (has a SNES/Castlevania SOTN vibe to it)

2-D Metroidvania style gameplay

Love the music



Part 2 Cons - 6:22 to 14:40

Visual are good but not as good as say the shantae series

Difficultly spike (when you die you lose your upgrade and you start at the last checkpoint and to get your gear back you have to defeat your possessed character. This can be a turn off for some).

Part 2 - 25:28 to 1:35:43

Super Marrio Odyssey review





My review of Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch. For gameplay footage click here - https://youtu.be/ybm9FsFiPDE



Part 1 Pro - 0:18 to 8:40

Beautiful graphics (even when undocked at 720p. Runs at a good 60fps both dock & undocked)

Solid controls (didn’t have a huge issues with the motion controls. They don’t feel like they are force on unlike Star Fox Zero were)

Love the capture/posses system in the game

Can easily get lost in the game (in a good way)



Part 2 Cons - 8:46 to 16:05

The 2-D part (including the 8-bit part) are fun but would have like to uses the control pad instead of the control stick for that part

Motion control are fine but would have like to see some of these commands map to a button

Not a big fan of the 2 player mode

Fire Emblem Warriors Review (Switch Version)





My review of Fire Emblem Warriors for the Nintendo Switch (also on 3DS). For gameplay footage click here - https://youtu.be/jl6FhdzFlds



Fire Emblem Warriors unboxing - https://youtu.be/DKp8Vompdjw



Part 1 Pro - 0:18 to 8:53



Good Graphics (love that you can choose to run that game at 1080p/30fps or 720p/60fps when docked)

Elements from the Fire Emblem games add an interesting take on the Warriors gameplay

History mode is fun (like adventure mode was for Hyrule Warriors)



Part 2 Cons - 8:59 to 16:37



When Undocked game runs at 720p/30fps. Not terrible (doesn’t make the game unplayable) but it is unfortunate

Most of the cast of characters are from Awakening, Birthright and Echoes (Which may or may not appeal to some)

Voices acting is tolerable but might be annoying to some (story is good but not as good as Hyrule Warriors was)
