mynintendonews.comReview: Nintendo Switch Sports ResortNintendo Wii and the iconic Wii Sports turns two-decades old next month, and whether it makes you feel old or not, the series is now totally retro. Capitalizing on becoming one of the best-selling games of all time (largely due to having been bundled with the system), Wii Sports Resort launched less than three years later, alongside the Wii Motion Plus accessory, adding even more multiplayer sports minigames and further expanding the massive cultural impact the franchise had. In 2022, Nintendo Switch Sports arrived to warm but mixed reception, with Nintendo attempting to replicate the success and spirit of Wii Sports for the Switch generation while steering clear of the Wii branding.

That's not all as EA will be slashing 400 jobs, which will be a massive blow to the individuals that are affected. The company has also decided to cancel the upcoming Mass Effect 4 project. BioWare was founded back in 1995 and was acquired by EA in 2007. Hopefully those affected by this will land on their feet elsewhere.
