Kirby Blowout Blast brings a new take to the Kirby series, with different mechanics and a tinge of puzzling involved which works very well throughout the game. It could certainly improve on its difficulty level, as it turns out to be too easy and its lifespan would benefit from being extended but the basis for a good take on Kirby is here.

Miitopia is an interesting and fun adventure game that gives the player a margin to shape the events. The control over the characters is a very welcome point and its long lifespan will ensure a lot of fun and involvement, even though it's impossible not to feel that the player's role remains too passive throughout the experience.

Hey! PIKMIN adapts Nintendo's series to the 3DS in a successful and fun way. While the series' veterans might find it odd at first, the game will quickly put everyone at ease with its captivating sidescrolling adventures and involving gameplay. It may not be as deep as the main series but this is a solid experience that honours the Pikmin game on a handheld format.

Flip Wars has (almost) all the right ingredients to be a fun and recommendable party game: thanks to its solid gameplay and clear positive influences, this is a game that can bring some intense local multiplayer moments. Sadly its online multiplayer component falls way short of expectations and what could be one of the game's best elements turns out to be its biggest weakness.

A fun and entertainingly chaotic puzzle experience is what Death Squared brings to its players, whether they choose to go solo or accompanied. Its very well designed (and plentiful) levels will keep everyone busy for a good amount of time and the more players join in the better, as Death Squared fully maximizes the experience with four players.

Drop it: Block Paradise may not be a monumental masterpiece but it gets the gig right: its amount of levels and simple gameplay mechanics make it enjoyable and its level editor and online sharing will keep it fresh for a long time. Where it doesn't keep up is when it comes to its maladjusted difficulty level and feeling of repetitiveness, which can alienate some players.

Splatoon 2 fully deserves to be a sequel to its original, as it builds up and improves on several elements that made the first game so memorable. The gameplay mechanics remain fun and unique, the Salmon Mode is outstanding, the improved audiovisual components work wonders and the local multiplayer increases its appeal, Splatoon 2 just needs to work on some of the elements of its online multiplayer component to reach an even higher threshold.

Alchemic Dungeons brings crafting to a roguelike game and it works at keeping the player's attention thanks to its variety of possibilities. It doesn't, alas, stand out in the same way when it comes to its dungeons, which end up being the game's weakest link due to their excessive size and unbalanced difficulty curve.

Runbow Pocket is a New 3DS version of a Wii U game and there is certainly a loss when scaling it down to a handheld format. On the plus side, this handheld version features many fun and challenging levels and the game is rich in content but there is no element that makes it stand out when compared to the original and the lack of a local multiplayer mode is an impediment to a better experience.

Raising the bar when it comes to the enemies' strength will force the players to plan their approaches in more strategic ways while the Trial of the Sword will push their endurance and tactical creativity to the maximum. Adding to this are Link's new outfits and something known as The Hero's Path, which will consolidate Breath of the Wild's magnificent experience and stir up new reasons to return to the game.

Cubit The Hardcore Platformer Robot HD is a long title and one which says a lot about the game itself: it's a hardcore platformer in HD where the player controls a robot. Featuring a very demanding difficulty level and a surprisingly long lifespan, Cubit may not be advised to all audiences but those who persevere will find themselves duly rewarded by an immense feeling of satisfaction.

No adventure game is perfect and Oceanhorn: Monster of the Uncharted Seas focuses on what it does best: a fluid, accessible and eye-catching adventure, despite its sometimes frustrating character moves and a certain feeling of repetitiveness regarding the enemies and bosses. A game that doesn't ignore its inspirations and doesn't try to leapfrog them.

Thumper is a fun and intuitive game based on rhythm that will demand close attention to the sound effects if the players are to make advances in the game's levels. Overall, Thumper needs its players to time their moves just right in order to fulfill with what it expects and those who won't appreciate its audiovisual and gameplay components will not be seduced by this game.

Packing both a management and an exploration component, Ever Oasis will keep players busy and entertained for very long hours thanks to its progression, fun combat and variety of enemies that will be encountered throughout its well extended moments. While the exploration component may not live up to the entirety of its expectations, this is still a very enjoyable game that will absorb its players into very dense moments.

Astro Duel Deluxe is a good tribute to the space shooter genre of previous generations thanks to its fun gameplay mechanics, a competent audiovisual environment and very fun local multiplayer modes. It would be even better if it included an online multiplayer mode, as well as a bit more in terms of content. As it is, it remains an interesting new addition to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

Elliot Quest does good to the promise of living up to the 8-bit era retro games that it draws inspiration from and it certainly has the appealing audiovisual component and lifespan to go along with it. Unfortunately it could have performed better on its difficulty curve and merciless gameplay mechanics, which is certain to put off all but the most patient and dedicated players.

NBA Playgrounds is fun with friends...and that's about it, playing this on single player mode is nothing short of disappointing due to the unasked for "players on stickers" mechanic, enormous loading times between matches which also affect the multiplayer mode and the for time still absent online mode make this a game that will not appeal to those looking for an intense and action-packed arcade basketball game.

From the successful mixing and blending of several styles comes ARMS, a creative and original action game that turns out to be one of the most welcome titles so far to land upon the Nintendo Switch. Ditching the most orthodox labels assigned to most games, ARMS proposes a never-ending flurry of action and content across several different modes, with a wide variation in the control systems and in the use of multiplayer to deliver what is one of the essential games on the library of Nintendo's newest system.

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers is certainly a competent game at what it does best: classic 2D fighting gameplay and plenty of online possibilities to extend the game's lifespan. It also adds two modes that bring no added value whatsoever and its selling price is completely out of line with what is to be expected from a new version of a game that is over twenty five years old.

The challenge it proposes will push players to the edge, as some will not be able to handle it and will find themselves on the brink of fury but those brave enough to handle this storm will find a game where despite the many, many deaths awaiting them, the feeling of reward after reaching their goals will push them into ecstasy.
