The greatest strength of the Legend of Heroes series is its ability to weave together a multitude of grand stories across a cohesive and ever-expanding timeline, akin to the likes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

On the surface, Chained Echoes is an amazing game, but one that offers you an even better experience overall the more you play.

Persona 5 Royal is one of the quintessential JRPG’s that you need to own on the Nintendo Switch. In fact, if you have the OLED model, this could easily be the best way to play amongst all consoles. If you’ve played Persona 5 Royal on the PS4, it’s the same game, but better, and is very deserving of an additional purchase.

5 / 5.0 - Echo Generation
Jun 18, 2024

Echo Generation is a perfect blend of charm, mystery, and horror. The overall vibe is very fun and upbeat but can change to a dark and suspenseful tone in a matter of seconds.

I think it’s the same case here because even though the game came out two years ago, the popularity of the characters over the past year should make more people want to play this now than ever before.

5 / 5.0 - 9th Dawn Remake
May 20, 2025

9th Dawn Remake is so much fun, there’s so much to do, and it runs perfectly on the Switch. For only $16, the game throws so much content and value at you and will keep you occupied for 50 hours or more. It’s well worth the price of admission if you’re an RPG lover.

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is nothing like its predecessor as it has its timer mechanism and isn’t as “open-world” but it’s a really fast paced game with a lot of humor that you should consider picking up.

I’ve seen what the game looks like on the 3DS and blowing that up to fit the bigger Switch screen or a TV probably wouldn’t look that good without some tweaking. Fortunately FuRyu did a great job with making sure that the game looked as good as it could on the Switch.

4.5 / 5.0 - Rainbow Moon
Mar 15, 2024

Rainbow Moon is a perfect example of an old-school RPG that deserves to be played on the Switch. It’s a really solid game but the combination of price and content puts it over the edge.
