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.

It's a very cinematic and story driven Warriors game like the original Fire Emblem games always were. With its great cast of characters and a lot of missions to master this is definitely a must have for Switch owners!

Hidden Agenda is a gripping thriller with enormously high replay value.

Nostalgic feelings in HD with catchy music? Well, that's LocoRoco 2. I've really had some fun playing this again. It aged pretty well and can be recommended to anyone who missed this PSP classic.

Farming Simulator - Nintendo Switch Edition is one of the best experiences I've ever had and I really didn't expect that. Driving around and managing my fields is as much fun as helping others out for some cash and get better vehicles for more efficiency. And you can play this on the go with Nintendo Switch.

8 / 10 - Lost Sphear
Feb 11, 2018

Lost Sphear is a great deal for fans of old school J-RPGs. Despite its sometimes boring dungeons it has a good story and an interesting combat system.

Syberia 2 is a lovely point-and-click adventure and fits perfectly onto the Nintendo Switch and its touchscreen controls.

Nights of Azure 2: Bride of The New Moon is an interesting mix of different genre. The time limit can be frustrating if you're at the very end of a dungeon or just before some teleport chamber but in the end there's enough time to complete all the objectives in the game.

Syberia for Nintendo Switch is a solid port for a 15 year old game. In some regards it hasn't aged very well but the story and beautiful places to explore are still as charming as in 2002 and the Switch's handheld mode is suited perfectly for this kind of game.

Resident Evil: Revelations for Nintendo Switch is a huge step up from the Nintendo 3DS version. It's a great survival horror experience but can't quite hold up with the HD remasters on other consoles in terms of technical specs. But if you haven't played this one yet be sure to check it out!

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.

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.

7 / 10 - Sonic Forces
Nov 6, 2017

It's no Sonic Mania but it's not that bad either. Your kids will love it as they won't find anything appealing in Sonic Mania. So die-hard Sonic fans should avoid this game but it's perfect for your kids as it's more streamlined and goofy.

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.

Spintires: MudRunner is like heaven for fans of trucks and dirt. It's a pretty realistic simulation which could also hook players that are just interested in an occasional challenge.

7 / 10 - Stifled
Nov 13, 2017

Stifled is an interesting take on a VR horror game. The problem is that you will start moaning stupid sounds into the microphone after a short time which can be pretty annoying. But the rest is solid and something totally new to check out.

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is an episodic sequel to the 3DS game and now available on the Nintendo Switch for the first time. It's a solid sequel that runs well on the console-handheld-hybrid but can't quite impress like the first game when it comes to story and gameplay.

I think there's nothing more to say about Skyrim that has not already been said. Sadly the experience on Nintendo Switch is a very buggy one because Bethesda didn't care about fixing their stuff. On PC you can use mods from random people to improve the experience but on Nintendo Switch this is simply not possible. So be prepared for some weird stuff going on in your adventure. Other than that Skyrim is a must-play.
