Nintendo deploys small firmware update for Switch that fixes a few lingering issues

Motion and icon problems Nintendo just dropped a new update on Switch last night: version 5.0.2. It’s a quick update, but it manages to squash a few bugs that have been lingering for a while. “Resolved an issue that caused motion controls to respond incorrectly when playing games that use the feature,” is a pretty obvious positive change, as having something deadzone or glitch out was a pain (which is something that hasn’t happenednearlyas much as it did on the Wii for me), as well as “Resolved an issue that caused user icons for recommended friends to not display correctly,” which helps avoid confusion when adding people....

Review: Sin & Punishment: Star Successor

By all rights,Sin & Punishment: Star Successorshouldn’t exist. It’s the sequel to a game that’s only been released outside of Japan on the Wii’s Virtual Console, one of the least popular download services in the home console market today. It also has one of the most unmarketable titles in recent memory. As for how it plays, the game is in the “3D shmup” genre, a style of game that hasn’t been popular for years, but isn’t quite old enough to cash in on the “retro craze....
