Mini Review NBA 2K25 (Switch) - Sound The Buzzer And Call For A Sub, This Baller's Washed
Slam dump
There was a time when the yearly NBA 2K Switch entry was something to look forward to. Each year was a step back from the next-gen counterpart, of course, but the Nintendo port offered a near-full-fat experience with the added bonus of portability. Those were the days, eh? Anyone who picked up NBA 2K24 will have realised this is no longer...

LEGO 2K Drive makes a valiant effort to set itself apart, making great use of its titular licence to provide players...
Review NBA 2K23 (Switch) - Michael Jordan Challenge Is A Slam Dunk In Another Solid Switch Port
A 'Magic' season for Switch b-ball
It's once again reached that time of year when another entry in the NBA 2K franchise slam-dunks onto our consoles. Yes, it's sometimes difficult to muster much excitement for these annual instalments, and it's easy to dismiss them as just another incremental update that looks and plays almost identically to the...
