You don?t have the weird-looking Pat Sajak and Vanna White who populated the previous game, but otherwise, it?s more or less what you?d expect from a Wheel of Fortune game. Wheel of Fortune, at least, fares a little better. If that?s the case, then the division here is slightly more explicable, but it doesn?t make the lack of content any better.) (In the interest of fairness, I should note that I have PlayStation Plus, so it?s entirely possible that the daily challenges were linked to paid online and I just didn?t think about it. In fact, there?s no onscreen characters at all, which was part of what made the PS3 version of the game so much fun. True, there?s still Daily Doubles and categories and whatnot, but there?s no Trebek.

On the Switch, you only get access to the daily challenges if you have an online subscription if you don?t, that means you?re stuck with Jeopardy!, which is more like a basic trivia game with Jeopardy! branding than the game you know and love. The PS4 version featured both your standard Jeopardy! game and daily challenges. In fact, in Jeopardy!?s case, the game is arguably worse, especially if you don?t have Nintendo?s online service.

As much as I?d like report that the games got better with their move to the Switch…well, that would be a lie. After all, Jeopardy! on PS4 was a soulless, boring waste of time, and Wheel of Fortune was only marginally better. This generation of games, however, has made me question just how easy it is. Their real-world equivalents are the kind of game shows you can play along with at home, and if I?m being honest, I probably sank more time into the PS3 versions of both games than anything else last generation. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! should be slam dunks as far as video game ports go.
