Image: Nintendo Life Look, it’s not often like the Nintendo adverts when it comes to tabletop mode gaming on Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo Switch’s bulging catalogue of games covers practically every genre, and First-Person Shooters are no exception.

2020 is all but over (good riddance!) and it’s time to look back and survey the gaming battleground.
