With millions of units sold, the Nintendo Switch is a device with no equal in its field. It’s also bloody hard to get your hands on lately, thanks to a combination of national lockdowns, production on new units grinding to a halt and absolute bastards buying all remaining stock so that they can resell them at an inflated price. What do you do, if you can’t find a Switch in the wild? You build your own one.

It was serviceable stuff, it ran alright and it was pretty much a twin-stick shooter that didn’t have much going for it beyond it coasting on controversy.

Dark Souls is usually the flavour of choice for these experiments, with savvy technicians rejiggering everything from Guitar Hero instruments to Dance Dance Revolution mats to add an extra layer of challenge to From Software’s final Dark Souls masterpiece.
We waxed lyrical last year about just how dang good Disco Elysium was to play. An RPG where you stepped into the gumshoes of a washed out detective and then bolstered their skillset with strangely-specific mental conditions, Disco Elysium wasn’t just good to play but a bit of a looker as well. Right now, you can grab it on PC, PS4 or Xbox One. Not Nintendo Switch, no sir the best platform under the sun hasn’t been graced by developer ZA/UM’s masterpiece…yet.
