It has been quite a ride, hasn’t it? The Pokémon explosion that began with the first release of the ...
The Switch has captivated Nintendo fans across the world. But some of these fans might be too quick to write off the Nintendo 3DS right now.
You're damn right is it still valid! I'm looking forward to their titles coming out this year for it. Not dead yet!
