dbrand Joy-Lock Controller Holder review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 day ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
When Nintendo Switch 2 first released last June, everyone was speeding their carrying cases and grips to market – and dbrand’s Killswitch soon emerged as a premium option. Though it had some minor issues with falling off of the the system at the start, those have since been fixed, and it remains one of the best picks if you’re looking for a durable, comfortable case. Now dbrand has released an additional (and less expensive) accessory that promises to make your Joy-Con feel more comfortable than a Pro Controller. That’s a bold claim, so does it hold up?

Ranking the Zelda games on Nintendo Switch from best to worst
Posted on 1 day ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
As The Legend of Zelda celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, we’ve put together a ranking of the games on Nintendo Switch from best to worst.
Fans of the Zelda series have it very, very good on the console. You’ve got two new groundbreaking games, plenty of high-quality remakes, and access to a majority of past titles via Nintendo Switch Online. If you’re looking to get into the franchise for the first time, we’ve ranked every main series game released for Nintendo Switch from best to worst. Or, in this case, best to “least best” – since it’s extremely rare that the Zelda series gets an objectively bad game.
Do note, however, that we’re only including Nintendo Switch games here. Nintendo Switch Online includes tons of fantastic Zelda games like Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, but they’re not included on the list this time around. We did rank the top 10 Zelda games of all time back in 2024, if you’re interested in reading that first.
