Guardians of the Galaxy, too
Telltale Games is one of the many developers that's been confirmed to be working on Switch games, and we already knew that it would be bringing Minecraft: Story Mode to the platform.

Rumour A New CPSIA Listing Implies More Smash Bros. amiibo Are Coming
A new challenger approaches
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U saw the debut of the explosively popular amiibo line, and after several waves, nearly every fighter was given a figure.

Rumour Last Wii U Consoles Roll Off The Production Line This Week
The end of an era?
Nintendo launches its new Switch console in March next year, and while the advent of new hardware is always a time of excitement, it invariably means that existing machines are put out to pasture.

One of the burning questions relating to the Nintendo Switch right now is storage space.
