This Week in Switch 2

This Week in Switch 2

This Week in Switch 2 will allow for all of the Shacknews staff members to share their opinions of the hardware, games, and operating system on a weekly basis. Instead of rushing to get a review-in-progress posted, Shacknews has chosen to take our time with the Nintendo Switch 2 as well as Mario Kart World in the interest of providing useful review content. This Week in Switch 2 will allow all of us to share our latest impressions of the console instead of remaining silent as the review work continues.
