A disappointingly clumsy attempt to evolve the Fire Emblem formula, that takes little advantage of being on the Switch, but the anime melodrama and fun combat still entertains.
A masterful reimagining of Tetris that changes little about the core gameplay but still manages to create one of the most immersive video games ever.
It looks as boring as it sounds but Automachef is a surprisingly engrossing game of logic and planning that refuses to dumb down for its audience.
The best Advance Wars game never made, whose post-launch update smooths out the rough edges and creates a strategy game that's more accessible and fun than ever.
A sci-fi shooter-meets-RPG sabotaged by a lack of plot, weak character progression, and sluggish combat.
Shallow, stupid, and very repetitive but as long as you play with friends there's a goofy charm to what is, for better or worse, the best Marvel team-up game in a long while.
Its attempted revolution of turn-based tactics isn't quite as practical as it first seems but this is still an impressively fun, and funny, strategy game.
The best Contra game for decades, even if it's not an official sequel, with amusingly over-the-top action and a great co-op mode.
The best Advance Wars clone so far on the Switch, with tons of content, accessible controls, and deceptively deep gameplay.
The world's only cyber ninja simulator is distinctly rough around the edges, but never lets that get in the way of some gory, chaotic fun.
The charming mix of Minecraft and Dragon Quest works even better the second time round, with a smart sequel that address the flaws of the original while adding plenty of new features of its own.
A painfully ineffectual attempt to revive the memory of ActRaiser, that somehow manages to feel more outdated and simplistic than the original SNES game.
A thoughtful exploration of the monsters people can unwittingly become, although it often struggles to offer a compelling gameplay experience.
Why a show set in the 80s has a video game tie-in that recalls the worst of 90s licensed games is a mystery, but this has absolutely none of the charm, wit, or excitement of the TV show.
A compelling story well told, and although it's still not very interactive the variety and artfulness of the presentation feels like something only a video game could do.
A slick sequel with promising, if shallow, career mode improvements. But it’s moving in the right direction and not far off achieving elite status.
More than just a successful reboot of a forgotten franchise, this is one of the most unique and entertaining new fighting games of recent years.
Not just one of the most versatile 2D game creation tools on consoles but the best collection of new Super Mario courses since the 90s.
The best Mario Kart clone of the nineties is also the best Mario Kart clone of the 21st century, with a stunning remake that offers welcome refinement and improvement.
The best Castlevania game never made and while it adds relatively little to the formula it is the best example of its use in many years.
