Despite being a remake, it seems reasonable to suggest that Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is the biggest Switch first-party release of 2024 so far. With Nintendo gearing up for the Switch 2, their primary teams are clearly working on games for the new system. It’s amicable that we’ve received one new game a month; …
Microsoft appears to be in a transitional period, provoked by less than stellar sales of the Xbox Series and the Game Pass subscriber count consequently reaching a cap.
