Marvel MaXimum Collection is a decent example of preservation. The collection contains an interesting selection of games and alternative versions, with welcome life enhancements and a well-constructed gallery. However, it doesn't encapsulate much of Marvel's humble past in gaming and doesn't offer strong reasons to buy beyond X-Men, the Carnage duology, and, if you're a masochist, Silver Surfer. It's a competent collection, but it could offer a little more to pay tribute to its origins.

Super Meat Boy 3D is the return of the king of pain. A worthy sequel to this indie icon. Minor stumbles in its presentation don't tarnish the franchise's reputation, especially with precise controls, the same charisma as always, and the progressive increase in difficulty, making this a great addition to the current platforming game scene.

Darwin's Paradox! is a great game and I highly recommend playing it. If you're one of those players who are a little tired of very long titles or those with convoluted mechanics and stories, this game is for you! Furthermore, because it's a light and quick experience to finish, it provides that good feeling of finally completing another item on your list.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection retains the original charm of the series. The story remains engaging, the characters are captivating, and the concept of a world connected by waves is still creative and unique within the Mega Man franchise. With some more careful adjustments, this could be a practically definitive collection, but as it is, it's a good experience, albeit with important reservations.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is the definitive debut of the series on Nintendo and a good entry point for new fighters. Its precise controls, beautiful graphics, and flawless gameplay are excellent attractions for those looking to expand their horizons on fighting games and even pay respect to one of the most important franchises in gaming. However, glaring errors in respecting its legacy, the absence of single-player modes, many of the real highlights being relegated to DLC, and the complete lack of story may disappoint those fighters who expect a greater understanding of this iconic series. It doesn't need to train for another ten years, but a little more finesse to adapt to modern times could truly revive Virtua Fighter.

South of Midnight is a title well worth experiencing — especially for those who value good stories, memorable atmospheres, and experiences that go beyond just playing with a controller. It's the kind of game that may not be perfect in its execution, but it's extremely competent at leaving a lasting impression.

Back to the Dawn is a great surprise for the Switch, having initially been released for PC in late 2025 and already gaining a strong fan base. Its intriguing story, charismatic and subversive characters, and complex yet interesting realistic mechanics create a unique and genuine personality for this prison odyssey. Foxes were usually seen as clever but petty, thieving, and mischievous animals. With representatives like Thomas, however, perhaps the reputation of these crimson friends can be rehabilitated, just as the truth about urban corruption may come to light.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a game that captivates at first glance, with its impeccable art direction and a sensitive narrative that delicately addresses profound themes. The simplicity of its structure works very well throughout the journey, especially in exploration and the emotional development of the characters. On the other hand, the game stumbles precisely where it could shine the most: in moments of greatest intensity. The boss battles, while challenging, often go beyond what is fair and end up generating unnecessary frustration, breaking the rhythm of the experience. Still, Kena delivers a remarkable adventure that balances beauty and emotion with accessible mechanics — even if not always refined. In the end, it's a journey worth experiencing, especially for those seeking a touching experience, even with some thorns along the way.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Let's Go to Belabel Park functions as a competent update, bringing improvements and content that expand upon what already existed, but without significantly changing the overall experience. The new activities and additional modes offer fun moments, especially in multiplayer, but often stumble on simplicity or the reuse of previously seen ideas. The technical improvements and accessibility features are welcome, albeit basic, and help to make the package more complete. In the end, it's a pleasant and functional version, but one that is hardly essential for those who have already explored the original adventure, serving more as a complement than as an evolution.

Blue Prince is a unique experience that deserves to be experienced by every fan of puzzles and mysteries. Its recent arrival on the Switch 2 in a highly competent port is, above all, a reminder that video games can (and should) go beyond the basics, delivering true interactive works of art in the process. In the end, Dogubomb's work teaches a powerful message that deserves to be quoted: "Don't settle for following already trodden paths. Abandon a path when necessary, and go where you would like it to take you." You probably won't regret it.

Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf does an excellent job of expanding its universe through a charming narrative that leaves you wanting more adventures. Sometimes the story focuses too much on the protagonist duo, making other characters irrelevant very quickly, but there are still twists and discoveries that make the journey worthwhile. The puzzles are much more interesting and manage to be more complex without being too long or demanding. They integrate better with the environment, both visually and mechanically, improving the experience of exploring a planet that neither the player nor the protagonist yet fully knows.

Minishoot Adventures is further proof that different influences and styles can be combined to deliver a cohesive, coherent, and fun game. Although imperfect in a few (very few) points, there's no denying that this little adventure is captivating and was perfectly adapted to the Nintendo console. In short, for those who enjoy shoot 'em ups and metroidvanias, the first Indie World of 2026 delivered a true gem.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a good tactical game. The concept is very well executed, especially regarding the combination of character abilities and the strategic freedom offered in missions. However, the camera issues significantly hinder the experience and weigh negatively. The DLC, on the other hand, doesn't bring major changes compared to the main game. It delves deeper into the story of one of the central characters, which is interesting, but may leave a feeling of lacking new elements. Even so, the game's central idea is very well implemented and works as a great entry point for those who have never played a tactical RTS title, offering a consistent and rewarding strategic challenge.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is a quite competent re-release, introducing a horror icon to current generations and adapting it without losing its essence. Some hiccups in its performance and slightly outdated gameplay details don't detract from the merits of this remake, playing it safe by bringing what was good and adapting what was necessary.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is a highly qualified game—I would even say a strong contender for game of the year. With beautiful visuals, rich and creative settings, diverse and customizable monsters, and a mature and well-written story, the game also features well-developed and charismatic NPCs. Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection shows that the series has found its definitive identity and delivers the best adventure in the franchise so far.

Despite the shortcomings and the lack of opportunities for improvement, simply immersing yourself in FireRed and LeafGreen for a while is enough to understand why Pokémon is what it is. Everything seems to revolve around simple, yet highly engaging (or addictive) premises. The collectability, the phenomenon of evolution, and the beauty of seeing the creatures grow and evolve as we battle and adventure, the reward for each challenge overcome, and the ingenuity of the social factor of needing to trade to fill the Pokédex have helped make the franchise the legend it is today. FireRed and LeafGreen deliver what they need to. But it's undeniable that we must continue to demand more and better from the companies involved, so that they deliver these titles in the best possible way and right from launch.

The Disney Afternoon Collection is an experience that big Disney fans will love. Several classics from that era are still missing, such as games featuring Mickey and other characters, but this is understandable, since the original idea of ​​the project was to pay homage to the animated TV series and not the feature films or completely original titles. Although not all the games are equally interesting, it's better to have more options to play, especially considering the short time of each experience.

Unfortunately, Gear.Club Unlimited 3 doesn't live up to expectations on the Switch 2, delivering a repetitive and unpolished game that fails to justify its temporary exclusivity on Nintendo's platform. It's true that die-hard fans of the genre will find some enjoyment in creating and managing their own car club (as well as customizing the paint or tires of licensed cars), but for all other players, it's worth remembering that there are better options on the market.

Tales of Berseria has a great narrative that keeps the player engaged throughout the entire game. Furthermore, the remaster brings graphical improvements and runs perfectly well on the Nintendo Switch. For those who have never played any title in the series, this is a great entry point, especially since it's fully localized in Portuguese. Despite some combat issues, the game still delivers the fun you expect from a good JRPG.

City Hunter on the Nintendo Switch delivers exactly what it promises: a nostalgic experience focused on arcade action and respect for the original work. It's not a title that reinvents the genre or significantly expands its mechanics, but it fulfills its role by providing straightforward and uncomplicated, albeit repetitive, fun. For fans of the franchise, it's a competent adaptation full of references. For new players, it can serve as an entry point, provided expectations are aligned with a more traditional approach. In the end, the game succeeds by focusing on its own legacy—even if it doesn't broaden its horizons much.
