A lot can happen in thirty years. To be fair, a lot can happen in one year (2020's been a stark reminder of that), but thirty?!?

Maybe it's...

"Bottles got what was coming to him"
Nowadays, there's nary a game that doesn't finish with a post-credits tease to tee up a sequel or spin-off. There's always a tantalisingly loose thread or Easter Egg hidden in the DLC hinting at a further instalment.

We speak to the team behind the game
It's fair to say that few Nintendo Switch fans expected to see Control hitting their consoles in 2020, even if the version they've gotten leverages the power of the cloud rather than the Switch's built-in processing grunt. Remedy's award-winning action title is a welcome addition to the Switch library...

Poll What Was The Best Switch Launch Game (That Wasn't Zelda: Breath Of The Wild)?
No Link option
As great as the Wii U was (and there's a good reason why the majority of its library has reappeared on its successor), it was never a 'cool' console.
