The dance moves of the original Rhythm Heaven for Game Boy Advance, freshly imported from Japan. The skillful moves when in the zone in Tetris Effect. Even the moves Nintendo’s making with its own services of late, from new Switch Online perks like Missions & Rewards to what could be next for the Switch’s smartphone app. Plus, we discuss the addition of Captain Falcon’s own F-Zero X to Switch Online + Expansion Pack, what’s next for TMNT games, and more.
