“So, doctor<\/a> are you planning to\u00a0take that Nintendo Switch to any\u00a0rooftop parties?”<\/p>\n

Pretty much every time I talk about Nintendo’s\u00a0new game system, here<\/a> I hear some version\u00a0of this question. It’s annoying, troche<\/a> and it’s Nintendo’s fault. The weird home-portable hybrid system has an equally weird advertising campaign attached, full of hip, 20-something men and women refusing to put their game systems down<\/a> when obligations arise. Pick-up basketball game, birthday party, dog needs to pee\u2014better bring the Switch every time.<\/p>\n

The system is now officially in stores, and the launch has been met with another wave of\u00a0“social Switch” ads<\/a>. But, man,\u00a0nobody<\/em> has invited me to a rooftop yet, let alone one whose party is served by\u00a0a hipster, bowtie-wearing bartender.\u00a0Even so, I persevere.\u00a0I decided to grab my pre-ordered hardware, a bunch of controllers, and a few friends to test the new console in the kind of loud group settings that it just might be appropriate for (conveniently, this allows us to\u00a0also expand on some concepts touched upon in Kyle Orland’s lengthy system review<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The chant of \u201cToad! Toad! Toad!\u201d will ring out across the PlayStation Network beginning tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Nomad Games announced today that it will bring Talisman: Digital Edition to the PlayStation 4 and Vita on March 7. The U.K. studio has made an excellent adaptation of Fantasy Flight\u2019s 4th Edition of the tabletop game, which first debuted in 1983 from Games Workshop (this publisher is better known for Warhammer). Nomad\u2019s digital take debuted in 2013, and this first console version joins the existing PC, Mac, iOS, and Android formats, and it offers cross-play between Sony\u2019s home console and handheld.<\/p>\n

The PSN version launches with seven expansions available for purchase. Each adds new characters and adventure cards, and some have their own side boards that expand the world, new endings, and other mechanics (like The Grim Reaper, which can kill characters when it lands on them \u2014 or make them stronger if they survive its deadly test):<\/p>\n
