I don’t think video game villains hit as hard they should. Many of them appear to be evil for the sake of being evil and to give the protagonist an almighty foe to face off with, come the endgame.

There have been so many Switch 2 leaks this week that I don’t think anyone can be in any doubt that we already know what the console looks like.
