Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark is a good experience that shows that Inti Creates has learned from the mistakes of its previous title and sought to develop its elements and create something that could stand on its own merits. The change to a Metroidvania style and excellent mix of movement abilities makes the game fun and enjoyable to play.

Space Invaders Invicible Collection is the perfect Space Invaders experience. If you're a fan of the franchise or have always wanted to try it, this is your chance. There's no better way to play one of the most important video games in history than through this collection.

Gal☆Gun Returns is a rather weak title that relies too much on its mix of ecchi and rail shooter. Considering that rail shooters are a genre that has been little explored and has had few releases in recent years, it could be recommended if you are interested in this style of game since it manages to deliver a unique proposition, but that is not the case here, because if you don't like games with ecchi, or have big problems with this genre of anime, there is no reason to play it. And even if you do, I'm sure there must be animes, and even other games, that do fanservice much better than Gal☆Gun Returns. Unless you are a big fan of the franchise or want to mess around by introducing it to a friend, as was the case with me, there is no reason to have this game in your eShop account or a cartridge on your shelf.

As a Football Manager fan with a strange interest in seeing how certain bad games perform on other platforms, I confess I picked up FM26T more out of curiosity about how it would run on the Switch. As expected, I was terribly disappointed with the result. The updates "fixed" some things, but the result is still far from the level expected from the series.

Gear.Club Unlimited 3 is a racing game that falls short in terms of gameplay options, visuals, and technical performance. The details of the vehicle models and the stories of car culture are good points and will please fans who love cars, but the repetitiveness, lack of innovation, and uninteresting challenges make the whole experience boring after a few minutes of playing.

DEEEER Simulator: Your Avarage Everyday Deer Game is a fun game that works great if you want to de-stress a bit and don't want to play more of the same. Unfortunately, the game is very short and has some stability issues when played in handheld mode. Furthermore, there's not much reason to play the game other than just destroying things, and that gets tiring after a while. If you want a simple and fun game to distract yourself between major releases, DEEEER Simulator: Your Avarage Everyday Deer Game is a good choice. However, for those expecting something more, it's better to invest your money elsewhere.

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.

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.

Gex Trilogy brings Gex to a new generation of players in a package that offers the expected additions of a re-release, but falls short in trying to offer significant improvements to the games. The package is a good reminder of why the character only stayed in the 90s, whether due to his dated lines or the lack of necessary innovations in his formula to make him stand out in a genre with many rivals.

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.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection was not released in a good state. The problems presented end up hiding what are two good games in the space saga. With Aspyr having announced the release of patches to fix the problems, I can only hope that they follow through on their promise and improve the experience so that we have something fun and good to enjoy on the Switch.

Metal Slug Tactics is a fun game that combines strategy and traditional elements of the series. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it right now. The issues, especially when it comes to performance and random crashes are very annoying and destroy what should have been a good experience. Besides that, the small font and PT-BR translation, that isn't 100% with many words still in English, are points that should be improved upon. If Dotemu focuses on fixing these mistakes and making it more stable, Metal Slug Tactics may become another fun strategy option in the system.

SiN Reloaded brings one of its generation's most overlooked "boomer shooters" back to modern platforms, featuring the comprehensive improvements Nightdive always brings to its re-releases. The title, however, still retains much of its original DNA, including certain design choices from its era. The developer could have made an extra effort to add features that might have further enhanced the experience, but what we have here is already a good way to experience this quirky game.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land starts the series on Nintendo's new platform in a way that could have been a little better. Atelier Yumia itself is a good game if you enjoy JRPGs, but as an Atelier title, it falls short in many aspects. The game still retains some of the series' DNA, such as charming characters and slice-of-life interactions, but it falters by choosing to put this in the background and focus on a narrative whose potential wasn't fully explored.

Tales of ARISE: Beyond the Dawn Edition brings the most modern title in the Tales of saga to the Nintendo Switch 2, this being a small detour on the path of remasters of the series. As a JRPG, Arise is a good game, with cool mechanics, a fun battle system and an even interesting story. Beyond the Dawn, however, is such a meh addition that it's really only worth checking out if you want to explore this world a little more.

Mega Dimension is nothing more than a small expansion of what can be found in the main adventure. If you, like me, thoroughly enjoyed your experience with Legends Z-A, you'll love being able to return to Lumiose and discover new mysteries. However, those expecting major changes and other new features will be disappointed to learn that the DLC doesn't introduce anything new that's particularly impactful.

System Shock ends the Switch 2 year with a beautiful combination of first-person shooter, survival horror, and cyberpunk theme. Nightdive did a great job porting the remake to Nintendo's new platform and using its unique features to offer an experience that will even be new for those who have already experienced the modern version of the 90s classic.

Hitman: Absolution is a rather weak title for a series that values creativity and freedom of expression for its players. Despite introducing good ideas, which were carried over to the World of Assassination trilogy and even ported to Blood Money – Reprisal, the experience itself leaves much to be desired for those seeking the Hitman formula.

Two Point Campus is fun, but its drawbacks impact the experience. The game is simple, addictive, and has good ideas, but the lack of use of certain advantages of Nintendo's console is disappointing. Performance issues and loading times draw too much attention for those who want to enjoy the experience away from the television screen. Still, there are things that can be improved upon here.
