The most physical games for Nintendo Switch

http://ift.tt/2F1S2Un

Wanna get your body moving with some Switch games? Check these titles out.

Since its very inception, the utilization of motion controls in games has been divisive for gamers. When the implementation of motion controls feel like an afterthought to a game, it's hard to argue that there is any sort of added value or fun. However, when the use of motion feels like it was woven into the fabric of a game's development from the beginning, it can actually serve to deepen the experience.

I have found that games which include motion controls effectively can be a blast to play at family gatherings and parties. If you're looking for some Nintendo Switch games to get your friends and family moving, then take a look at these titles.

Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 may not have you jumping around the room and waving your arms around in an odd example of semaphore, but it does actually utilize the technology pretty effectively. Aiming with your Joy-Con can be smooth, fast and satisfying once you get the hang of it. Despite the fact that you probably wont be breaking a sweat while you play, I think the fact that it works so effectively earns it a spot on this list. Pick up your copy for $50.

ARMS

ARMS offers a lot more depth of physical mechanics when it comes to motion controls. With bespoke, real-world movements for a multitude of in-game effects, there is a lot more to chew on here than other games with motion control. Pick up a copy and you will be swinging, twisting, and grabbing your way to victory. Get your copy for $50.

1-2 Switch

Sure, 1-2 Switch feels a bit like a showcase for motion control on the Switch, but that may be exactly why you might want to consider picking it up. If you want to show the fam what your Switch can do while playing through a multitude of party games, then you can't do much better than 1-2 Switch at the moment. There are some truly odd mini-games included which could see you in a shaving contest with your grandmother. I bet you that's something you never thought you would do. It can be yours for $50.

See at Amazon

Nintendo hasn't really found its Wii Sports equivalent on the Switch yet, but as the console starts to mature I am sure we will see more titles using motion control. Without a doubt, some of those titles will use the technology poorly, but every now and then there will be a release which will actually be a load of fun. Getting your body moving while you play a game can be more than just novel when it's implemented well.

What sort of game would you like to play with motion controls?

Is there a certain type of game that you think would be perfect for motion control technology? Let us know below

The Instant Pot Craze and How it's Disrupting Kitchens Everywhere

The Canadian-designed Instant Pot is essentially a roided out slow cooker for half the price of most decent slow cookers on the market. There are several iterations of the Instant Pot, and it may just be able to replace every imaginable kitchen appliance you have. So what's the hubbub? Is the hype real? Let's take a look! See at Amazon What does it do? I think, in terms of kitchen capabilities, the better question is what doesn't the Instant Pot do? The lower-end versions have 6-in-1 functionality, while the Ultra, for example, can be a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, cake maker, egg cooker, sauté cooker, steamer, warmer, and sterilizer. Oh, and the 6-quart Ultra model is only $150 ... Somehow… Basically, the Instant Pot could be your tool for cooker just about everything. With many programmable cooking options, for everyt...
