#149: Your Nintendo Update

REVIEW Dragon Quest 11 S: “Hard not to recommend over any other version” — The definitive edition of this “quintessential JRPG ” has seen universal acclaim from critics, and it seems the jump to a hybrid handheld hasn’t hurt the experience at all.

REVIEW Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition — “dazzles in beauty and splendor” . If you’ve yet to play this elsewhere, the author claims that this is an easy recommendation for any Switch owner.

REVIEW Dead by Daylight — “a competent port” , but seemingly one that isn’t as great as it could be, with occasional performance issues.

Australian rating could mean we’re getting GTA III on Switch —Admittedly, this is just pure speculation based on some activity at the Australian Classification Board , but hey, sometimes you have to will the things you want into existence. This is my favourite entry in the GTA series, so I’d love to replay it on Switch (I played through all of it again on the iPhone years ago…and that was quite the ordeal ).

▶ Jedi Outcast on Nintendo Switch is still a classic — Claims it looks good, but more could have been done to make it more palatable to modern audiences. However, this other video recommends avoiding this port altogether.
