With the re-release of FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Western fans can finally officially enjoy one of the Wii's most forgotten games. For a game that involved three different companies, the title has some good ideas, but its execution falls short in some areas.

Gal Guardians: Demon Purge is a spin-off of an ecchi franchise and its final quality clearly demonstrates this. When compared to other 2D games from Inti Creates, such as the Azure Strike Gunvolt series, the drop in quality is noticeable. Despite having good gameplay, the combination of its visual elements, sound and design choices end up ruining what could be a good experience.

As the game that put Persona on the map, Persona 3 Portable is an experience that has its ups and downs. The foundation of the modern formula for the series began here, and its age shows with some outdated mechanics compared to the titles that followed it. Of the three re-releases in the series, this will be the hardest to get newcomers interested who may have been introduced to Persona through the famous Persona 5.

Crisis Core —Final Fantasy VII— Reunion is a good experience with the Final Fantasy series name. Further expanding the Final Fantasy VII universe, the game has its ups and downs, with a narrative that seeks to introduce players to a very important character for the narrative of the PS1 classic.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero is one of the biggest JRPG releases of 2022. The fact that we're finally getting the game in the West after 10 years is impressive, but it also brings some problems, especially since it's part of a series that is extremely well-known for its narrative.

Koumajou Remilia: Scarlet Symphony is an interesting game that reminds us of a series that many people want to see back. Despite being short and lacking in extra content, the game is still fun and the mix of 2D platforming elements with bullet hell offers a challenge that will please those who like to improve their skills.

With a development team known for delivering great experiences, Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 is another great game produced by Inti Creates. Featuring a cool story, good character interactions, and fun, easy-to-master gameplay, the game is pure action and, despite being short, has plenty of incentives for multiple playthroughs.

Wreckfest is a fun game that stands out among its rivals for offering plenty of destruction and beautiful visuals for Nintendo's platform. With plenty of events for players to participate in, quick races, and simple gameplay, the game is perfect for those who don't have much experience or want something to pass the time.

A perfect way to introduce the blue hedgehog to a new generation, Sonic Origins is a great package. Offering some of the character's best games, some extra challenges and the chance to learn more about the hero's story, it is highly recommended for new fans. Veterans will also be pleased with the best way to play the games on modern consoles.

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is a new chance to experience one of Square's most beloved games released during the PlayStation 1. The game comes with some improvements that will greatly help those who want to play the title and learn about its rich story. Unfortunately, narrative and performance issues may end up being negative in a title that had everything to shine and be another great relaunch from the company.

.hack//G.U. Last Recode is a fun collection of really cool games that shows a bit of what CyberConnect2 is capable of when it's not stuck with anime games. Haseo's adventure is quite interesting and although its narrative has some pacing issues, the story overall is a tale that should be enjoyed by more people. Its gameplay and extra challenges presented will also win over action RPG fans who now have another option to choose from.

However, even with this lack of better options, Gal☆Gun: Double Peace is still not the ideal choice to spend your time with. The new re-release has plenty of content for players, but the experience will only be truly enjoyed by those who enjoy this type of media, making it a niche game. Plus, even if you're into something with a lot of fanservice, there are better options for that on the Switch.

Chocobo GP is a fun game featuring the Final Fantasy franchise's mascot. However, in a video game that features the acclaimed Mario Kart 8, the game doesn't even come close to its rival. I feel like Square dropped the ball by choosing to produce something cheap and fast without even trying to understand what makes Mario Kart special.

Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX reintroduces Koei Tecmo's monster franchise to video game fans who have forgotten about the series or never had the chance to experience it. With some interesting new features, the package is interesting for those who enjoy simulation games and have always wanted to create monsters from scratch instead of capturing them. With the idea of creating monsters from CDs, there's nothing more fun than bringing a creature to life through your favorite game, training it, and winning a difficult tournament at the end thanks to a stroke of luck.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a game with a lot of problems and it certainly wasn't the best choice for a re-release. Despite having some improvements over the original release, the remaster still has the same design issues as the Wii U version, mainly the fanservice that ruins the atmosphere, and those who decide to try the game to get to know the series may end up leaving with the wrong impression of the franchise.

In conclusion, Knockout Home Fitness is a perfect title for those who want to work out without leaving home, as well as a great alternative for those who don't want to shell out $70 for Ring Fit Adventure. With plenty of different exercises and encouraging the player to come back every day, the game is that push you need to start changing your habits.

Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed is a good game that manages to entertain players a lot and presents a really cool story. However, Acquire made a big mistake when deciding not to invest much in the remaster. The game is full of problems that greatly hinder the experience and make it impossible to recommend, especially for the asking price.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD continues the tradition of great titles in the Zelda franchise. Even 10 years after its original release, the game still manages to be very good, offering an extremely interesting narrative and a very peculiar gameplay that will please both veterans and newcomers.

Shantae is a game that deserves to be played by platformers and metroidvania fans. Despite showing its age, the half-genie's first adventure is fun and thanks to the relationship more people can now enjoy it. And the good news is that if you like this title, the other games in the franchise are also available on the Switch. Just be warned in advance, this is not an easy game and it will test your patience quite a bit.

Monster Hunter Rise is without a doubt one of the best games ever released for the Nintendo Switch. Its graphics are some of the most beautiful ever presented on the console, its gameplay is solid and the game presents a great challenge for those who want a difficult game.
