7 / 10.0 - Miitopia
Oct 4, 2017

Miitopia isn't a game for everyone but it sure has its audience. Especially gamers that liked the StreetPass games or Tomodachi Life. Parents should definitely look out for this game though if they want to introduce their kids to the gaming world in an easy and fun way.

Pokémon Tekken DX improves over its Wii U predecessor. Besides welcome changes you can now also play on the go in handheld mode and challenge your friends anywhere you like. Owners of this game for Wii U don't really get too much out of this port if they previously played the hell out of it but new characters and modes surely do add something noteworthy for new buyers.

This game is clearly not a "Definitive Edition". Too many compromises have to be made like missing Wii U controls or compressed graphics. Other than that it is still one of the best Jump 'n' Runs out there and a definitive must-buy.

One Piece: Unlimited World Red does its job when it comes to fan-service and entertains you for several hours. It's pretty difficult to get into the universe as a newcomer though since nothing ever is explained to you. But if you are new to One Piece and have a friend sitting next to you explaining stuff this game really is fun to play.

9 / 10 - NHL 18
Sep 27, 2017

NHL 18 improves on the already fantastic formula. The new NHL Threes mode is a refreshing taste of hockey and keeps you entertained for several weeks at least. Everything else in the game also knows how to impress – as always –.

Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure is not as strong as its predecessors in the Telltale Games lineup but perfect if you need to fill time between appointments as you can take it on the go with your Nintendo Switch. The story which consists of eight episodes is split in two parts where the second part again takes place in four different places and settings. The variety is huge yet the point 'n' click part is cut short which is a shame compared to older games from Telltale. Still, if you enjoy the stories of the studio and want to relax while playing games you probably won't skip this one.

6 / 10 - NBA 2K18
Sep 20, 2017

2K didn't learn from the Evolve fiasco. NBA 2K18 is one huge Pay2Win game, especially in story mode which could have easily been the best mode in the game. But grinding endlessly for success is not the definition of fun. Other than that the Nintendo Switch version is filled with bugs and technical breakdowns. What a shame because NBA 2K18 is a full port of the game with no cutoffs.

This game is a love letter to Samus Aran. One of the best 2.5D platformers I've ever played. Great visuals, great soundtrack and great new ideas to not only capture the mood of the GameBoy original but improve the whole experience.
