My experience with Shinobi non Grata was nothing short of satisfying. It made me want to return to Ninja Gaiden via Nintendo Switch Online any day now. Kaina's adventure doesn't feature any original elements, but rather many similarities to legendary titles like Mega Man and Ninja Gaiden, but its gameplay is so fluid that there's no way to not have fun with the game.

A healthy diet prescribed by a nutritionist is a great help. You already know this, but don't trust the charlatans out there. Always seek specialized help; your health is no joke. Fitness Circuit should be seen as a valuable addition to your health, but it's not a magical solution to all your problems.

For Souls-like newcomers, the game can be a welcome and rewarding gateway, provided a little dedication is applied to its gameplay. Without a doubt, it's another important addition to the already extensive and varied catalog of great games on the Big N hybrid console.

With budgets getting tighter and production costs getting more and more astronomical, it's good to see companies like Square Enix giving a new chance to franchises that have been forgotten for a long time. FRONT MISSION 1st has a very high learning curve and this may put off those who would like to get to know the game through a more casual experience. This could be solved with an assistance mode that would help the player's choices during the campaign at least. With that in mind, the game fails a bit in attracting the attention of potential new fans to the franchise.

Given the series' longevity, it's natural for fans of other Gundam audiovisuals to be captivated by the game's premise. However, what happened to me was quite the opposite. My knowledge of the series is limited to the beloved Gundam Wing and a glimpse of the occasional series available on video streaming services. But during my playthrough, I encountered a series with even more nuance, touching on themes rarely explored in mass-market manga, such as politics and what it means to be human. The dialogue and original Japanese voice acting are so captivating that I'll be one of those who do the opposite. Now that I've finished playing, I'll most likely seek out more knowledge of this long-running series to better understand the entire universe. Bandai Namco has nailed it with a game that provides fun for both longtime fans and newcomers, who will enjoy many hours of fun with SD Gundam Battle Alliance.

If you're a fan of classic '80s and '90s platformers and just looking for a convenient way to enjoy your favorite series on Nintendo's hybrid console, wherever you are, this collection is for you; Wonder Boy is a long-running franchise, and its original release dates back to the 16-bit era. And not everyone has the necessary equipment to emulate these experiences on newer TVs. When would you, as a child of the early 21st century, think you could play Wonder Boy on your lunch break at work?

Despite the reduced price for Nintendo standards, Nintendo Switch Sports can be frustrating due to the game's short lifespan, especially if you're not one of the most avid online gamers or if your intention is not to use Nintendo Switch Sports as a party game, like Mario Party, for example.

Despite the technical issues mentioned above, River City Girls Zero fulfills its purpose of providing a taste of more fighting in the presence of the immensely charismatic duo Kyoko and Misako. Given that times have changed, with a more inclusive environment for people who identify as female, it's actually quite pleasing that a spin-off title featuring empowered girls has become the franchise's flagship series.

Clockwork Aquario could be enriched with more game modes, more gameplay variations, and why not a mode where you can play with friends online, something essential in these times of social distancing? I'm rooting for the game to reach its audience and for a sequel to be made, giving the developers the time and tools to create something grand and worthy of the quality shown here.

The game's initial content is good, but if Nintendo doesn't feed it with new activities for each category, the lack of new stuff could drive some players away, even if it already is a solid final product.

Just as it's wrong to say that a platformer with a platform-jumping character is just a Super Mario clone, it's wrong to say that The Wild at Heart is just a clone of Pikmin. Enjoy the adventure without constantly comparing the two. Everything is so well done that I'd love to see Nintendo entrust Moonlight Kids with a new Pikmin game.

Even in that cozy couch co-op, Samurai Warriors 5 on Nintendo Switch performs wonderfully. It makes you feel comfortable asking for help to get through that objective-filled level you couldn't handle on your own. Thanks to the console's hybrid design, you can play anywhere without compromising the fun. And with all this quality in its favor, Samurai Warriors 5 holds the title of best musou game available for the Nintendo Switch family of consoles at this moment.
