Princess Peach: Showtime! is a simple, cheery romp with a variety of neat styles and a fun theater-inspired setting.
Another Code: Recollection is a chill, breezy return for a dormant Nintendo series that’s light on challenge but heavy on charm.
Overall, Castle Crashers is a colorful, creative beat 'em up with a lot of charm, and it feels right at home on Switch.
A few fishy elements aside, Splatoon 3’s Side Order DLC is a delectable roguelite expansion with outstanding original enemies and crazy new abilities.
The controls don’t work quite as well as the two screen setup on Nintendo’s last console, but that doesn’t change the outstanding level design, gameplay, and presentation.
Dragon Quest XI S should be remembered as one of the best JRPGs of the generation — not because it pushes the genre forward, but because it reminds us why we fell in love with role-playing games in the first place.
I hope that every Switch owner picks up the trilogy, because there’s really never been a better way to play this set of games.
