In any given match, there’s a chance you’ll make a dive towards a ball—only for the fabric of time to hiccup, subjecting you to an…
Well, howdy. There’s a new Nintendo Direct coming very soon, and it’s a Partner Showcase, which means it’s time for third parties to shine. Since launch, we’ve seen some big hitters from publishers like Capcom (Street Fighter 6), CD Projekt (Cyberpunk), and SEGA (Yakuza 0), but despite a very solid lineup at launch, you get…
