Nintendo Switch 2 Review

When the Nintendo Switch was released in 2017, it was a truly revolutionary piece of technology. Not only did it pioneer the hybrid console format, but it also led to the current revitalization of handheld gaming. As the third-best-selling game console of all time, with a total of 152.12 million units sold as of March 2025, the question of how Nintendo would follow up on a nearly perfect device was at the top of everyone’s mind. Nintendo’s answer? Stick with what worked before, but refine it with slight alterations. This focus on refinements makes the Nintendo Switch 2 a vastly superior console when compared to its predecessor, but it also makes for a largely boring new console experience.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Review

  • Developer: Nintendo
  • Publisher: Nintendo
  • Reviewed On: Nintendo Switch
  • Available On: Nintendo Switch

If you told me at the start of the year that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was going to be a game that I absolutely fell in love with, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. I felt that its predecessor Breath of the Wild was an enjoyable experience, but took issue with its blank canvas design which felt a bit too open and directionless for me. But that’s been flipped on its head with Tears of the Kingdom. By building on the concepts of adventure, creativity, and exploration that laid the foundation for the previous game, and amplifying them with a stronger sense of focus and direction, everything that I didn’t click with before has been vastly improved, making this not just one of the best games I’ve played this year, but one of the best games I’ve ever played period.

What’s With The Secrecy Surrounding The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

At long last, we finally know the name of the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Revealed as the closer for yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, the highly anticipated sequel is now known as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and will release on May 12, 2023. Curiously though, after three years and a couple teasers, we still know very little about the game and I’m not quite sure why that is.
