The open world levels that encourage players to invest in exploring them and very enjoyable local co-op multiplayer, as well as the gorgeous graphics and kicking soundtrack all help make this one of the best beat'em ups on the Nintendo Switch and one that fans of the genre will duly cherish.

Simple enough, accessible and with a lot of fun moments, Tinker Racers is not pretentious but it does provide a lot of crazy fun, especially when played on local multiplayer. A marvelous and affordable indie game that will keep players around the Nintendo Switch for many hours.

Wonder Boy Collection is a 35th anniversary celebration of SEGA's iconic Wonder Boy series and this compilation brings four of its most appreciated games under a competent conversion. Four games might seem short, though, and this compilation would be better if it included more games, but what we have here is a good work with the necessary modern day adaptations to ensure a smooth, enjoyable, nostalgic experience to everyone, as well as to welcome newcomers to the Wonder Boy series.

The gameplay is accessible and even though the game experience is rather slow-paced, this is in no way an obstacle to enjoy it - quite the contrary, it's where Arise's experience turns out to excel the most with its enveloping qualities, simple but gorgeous worlds and exquisite soundtrack. These are all further topped by this Definitive Edition, that brings a welcome additional content to the Nintendo Switch.

Featuring an experience that drips with more quality than is usually expected when it comes to indie games, Kukoos: Lost Pets could benefit from an improved camera, but as it is this is a marvelous and very welcome addition to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

8 / 10 - Helvetii
Feb 18, 2023

Helvetii's roguelite action approach, its trio of well crafted characters, plenty of frantic moments, a stunning looking visual environment, as well as an exquisite soundtrack make this a game that's more than worthy to be on the Nintendo Switch of every player who enjoys like-minded games. The experience will keep players around the game for a long time and have them come back for more.

Its gameplay is simple and intuitive but very fun, and it's in combining this with the myriad of tracks and customization options that Mechanic Battle truly becomes a game all racing fans with a Nintendo Switch should pay attention to.

7 / 10 - Beacon Pines
Dec 30, 2022

Beacon Pines is an experience that will have its players cross a fairy tale and find words that will cause shifts to the events on the plot. With less emphasis on action and more on narrative discovery, Beacon Pines treats its players to a charming visual world and an exquisite soundtrack, while its environment flows between an adorable kid-friendly world to something more disturbing and menacing, and the game does all this naturally. One of the best indie gems to make its way to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

Some of these are known classics, others are less resounding works. While the emulation is good enough to present a good, flawless experience comparable to the originals, there are several elements here that deserved better, namely the interface and additional information, which is very little and gives almost no insight into TAITO's rich arcade past.

5 / 10 - Bugsnax
Jun 6, 2022

Bugsnax is a colourful and visually appealing game that boasts an interesting concept. However the way its ideas are implemented and the technical issues that need to be addressed end up harming Bugsnax more than they should. Adding to that some rather frustrating control problems and a feeling of repetitiveness that becomes apparent too early, and the experience of Bugsnax falls below the threshold of a remarkable adventure game.
