Technically, the Switch does have the upper hand compared to PS4 and Xbox One, which don’t offer portable gameplay. Plus, it’s six hour battery life means it would definitely support a decent gaming session in the loo. Too bad Netflix isn’t getting Switch support.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was one of the games revealed in Nintendo Switch’s presentation, and is an updated version the massively popular Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. The update introduces new maps and characters, and is expected for release on April 28th.

Maybe that’s why Resident Evil 7 isn’t coming to Switch. Imagine playing that in a public toilet.
