Switch online currently offers access to many other classics, such as Metroid and Dr.Mario. NSO currently offers over 30 games, and counting, and is available for as little as 3.99 per month or about twenty dollars annually.

New footage of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled was delivered today, and it has fans clamoring over the soon-to-be released PS1 classic remake. It has been said that the new game will not just be a prettied-up version, but instead will include new character attitude as well as some features that the original game would not have had access to, like online multiplayer.
This nostalgia-inducing release comes with great expectations, given that the original CTR was an instant hit in the Bandicoot series. The terrestrial marsupial omnivore has made quite the name for himself on the most recent consoles, and it appears that this new installment will continue to live up to the hype!
Here is a bit of the new footage that has been released!
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled will be released on June 21 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Each week, MPG staff will pick one special title to brag about! Whether it tickles our funny bone, or jerks a tear, we’ll give you the low-down on the games that stand out to us.
About this weeks winner…
Golf Story is an uber-cute and silly golfing simulator that combines the relaxation of golfing with the stress of crushing defeat looming in the shadows. Take pride in driving that little white ball all across the eight unique environments , cleverly designed to simultaneously inspire joy and rage! Enjoy going head-to-head with your friends in varied and select-able modes, difficulties and maps.
If you’re all about that campaign though, (obviously) Golf Story has got you covered. Nothing beats performing at your peak to an audience of persnickety geese with nothing better to do. Bouncing from objective to objective with nothing to guide you but wind and whimsy (and demands from jerks), you’ll meet plenty of colorful characters just jumping at the chance to challenge you to task that they themselves could not complete, talking down to you the whole way. You’ll relish the opportunity to prove an entire community wrong as you complete tasks, mostly for cash and prestige, but also to rub it in their rude and smug faces.
Available exclusively on Switch, this title brings the peace of golfing and excitement of simple competition to the living room! Winner of Best Original Sports Game in the National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers Awards, Golf Story is hailed as one of the best Switch games in 2017, receiving many awards and accolades upon reception. With basically just the NES Golf easter egg as its competition, GS has been the best golf surprise for Switch yet!

In a recent investors conference, Nintendo higher-ups announced that Mario Kart Tour will not be hitting it’s March release, as originally intended. Instead, this title is looking toward a sunnier release during the coming summer months.
It has been one year, to the day, since Nintendo tweeted that the game was in development and due to be released this March. As the game remains shrouded in mystery, we must wait patiently, hoping that they “…improve quality of the application and expand the content offerings…”, being the reason given for the delay.
