Nintendo is making life a little easier for Nintendo Switch owners who enjoy playing in Tabletop mode.

As much as I used to revel in denying its existence, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn’t the Jar-Jar-Binks-filled, sand-everywhere, Han-Shot-first travesty that’s otherwise known as George Lucas’ bad touch in the post-Original Trilogy world.
