The Japanese gaming giant is about to release its latest console. The stakes have never been higher to end the boom-bust cycle that’s plagued the company for years.

Nintendo of America scored a major legal victory. The company had been facing down a potential class-action lawsuit in California over a defect with the Nintendo Switch and its Joy-Con controllers, until a judge threw out the case thanks to a loophole in the console's user agreement.

It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved - those sticking with the OG Switch still have plenty to be excited about as the console enters its eighth year, and anyone upgrading to Switch 2 can do so safe in the knowledge it will have an extensive back catalogue of games right from the get-go.
