GameSkinny Weekend Download: Nintendo Switch Lite, Stranger Things 3, Cyberpunk 2077, More

This week, Nintendo unveiled the Nintendo Switch Lite, and we looked at which games don’t support handheld mode, since you can’t play every game on the Switch Lite. 

We also looked at how Nintendo is preparing for the cloud gaming future, why FIFA has gotten lazy with women’s soccer, and which games you should play before Cyberpunk 2077 releases next year. 

We finally got a look at Shenmue 3‘s forklift gameplay (yes!), we reviewed a handful; of amazing games, including Blazing Chrome, Sea of Solitude, Stranger Things 3: The Game, and Dragon Quest Builders 2, and we wrote a few guides for some of the most popular recent releases.
