Nexomon is a good alternative for those looking for a change of scenery after playing Pokémon for a long time. Here, you will find a good story, outstanding characters, excellent soundtrack and art, and many hours of fun. The collection of little monsters is vast and will give you some work to complete the database. However, there are also errors and the absence of some features, such as trades and multiplayer, overshadowing the shine of a game that proved to be a good option for fans of the genre. Still, the excess of grinding to win the game could have been worked better, thus avoiding the game to be too repetitive and restricting itself to training.

Love is a feeling that demands concession from everyone involved, the maxim of give and take. Loving someone means that sometimes it is necessary to let the loved one go. It also means trust and respect, recognizing your and others' limits. These are exactly the sensations, the nuances of this complex feeling, which LoveChoice manages to convey in an interactive visual novel composed of three believable stories and delivered with a beautiful and immersive audiovisual presentation. Because love is sweet and bitter at the same time.

With glorious moments reminiscent of franchises like The Legend of Zelda and Donkey Kong, Flynn: Son of Crimson is a classic platformer capable of standing out in Switch's library. In addition to an aesthetic that captivates from the start, its great feat is the gameplay: it is pleasant and develops effectively, including useful upgrades for combat. Thus, the title deserves long applause, not only during the end credits, but also throughout its entire gameplay.

Cruis’n Blast is the curious case of a great game on the outside, but empty on the inside. The main gameplay is exhilarating, with fast races and responsive controls. The circuits, with their gigantic jumps, comically absurd situations and unexpected elements, make games fun. The vehicles, on the other hand, ranging from the simplest to the most fantastic, are hardly seen in other games of the genre. However, everything around this gameplay is shallow, making this a good comeback from the franchise, but not the best possible.

WarioWare: Get It Together! is, without a doubt, one of the best multiplayer titles on Nintendo Switch, with lots of unlockable content and interesting ways to play it. The gameplay decisions, although controversial, manage to deliver extremely simple and fun solutions, further expanding the franchise's audience demographic. For many staunch fans, the game isn't what they expected, but it still manages to deliver a solid WarioWare experience, fun-loving and capable of guaranteeing long nights of laughter, conflict and chaos — for those willing to do so.

Badland: Game of the Year Edition is a challenging, well-executed game with inventive puzzles and beautiful graphics. All this in a complete package and a reasonable duration, which avoids becoming tiresome.

Olympia Soirée is a good pick for fans of otome games and visual novels in a broad sense. Inspired by japanese culture and working with social critique, the title presents a really compelling world. Besides that, it seems to indicate Aksys Games has learned from its mistakes in the translation of Café Enchanté, renewing the hope that upcoming titles will also be of high quality.

Despite the lack of choice and interactivity, Cross The Moon is a great gateway for anyone looking to venture into the world of Visual Novels. L'Amour's mysteries, the charisma of the protagonists, its impeccable music and unique aesthetics are enough factors to invite players to embark on this journey. A few errors in the text and lack of polish in editing can cause some discomfort, but nothing that interrupts the overall experience of this hidden gem in Switch's eShop.

BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites gives the player the painful and pleasurable experiences that classics like Castlevania, The Prince of Persia and The Lion King still guarantee today. The frenetic action got even better with the audiovisual improvements — although the art style might not suit everyone — but the game remains an excellent example of take it or leave it, such is its difficulty. Fans of gratuitous violence can certainly feel the appeal of BloodRayne, but only platformer lovers of the 80s and 90s will be able to take full advantage of the dhampir adventure.

Skatebird takes a great premise and even manages to package the idea into a visually pleasing package. The problem, however, is that the final execution, like a poorly calculated maneuver on a skateboard, misses the goal. Controls and movement should be the main pillars of gameplay in a skateboarding game, but the title fails precisely in these aspects, making the experience difficult and tedious. Skateboarders and bird lovers alike probably have better alternatives on the Nintendo Switch.

Ultra Age certainly offers a unique experience, making it a great addition to the action genre. The elaborate look and the frantic combat are its biggest highlights. Even so, the impression is that the game is not fully exploiting its potential, which can be corrected in a possible sequel.

In More Heroes 3 it's like a reunion with an old classmate. The ones we fight with about irritating things, but which, in the end, brought us great moments. Someone that, despite the problems, we can't help but like.

With casual and relaxed mechanics, Kitaria Fables is a very nice addition to Switch's library. Its ability to design an immersive gameplay, made up of interesting combat and responsive mechanics, adds up to an aesthetic full of cuteness. As a result, we have a friendly and cordial adventure.

Axiom Verge 2 presents an intriguing and well-constructed narrative, mixed with a very interesting exploration system. Within a world rich in variations and with countless possibilities, the only problem is the repetitive combat. However, none of this takes away the shine of a game that is mandatory for exploration fans.

Hoa comes and goes like a spring breeze: pleasant and comforting. But maybe you'll forget about the experience before long. If the meaning of life is the path rather than the final destination, perhaps there is a lesson here. However, as beautiful and uplifting as the journey is, in a video game, sometimes we need a little more. If you were attracted by the look of the title, it's worth giving it a try, but remember to enjoy the small moments and not expect too much at the end.

If on the one hand Monster Harvest gets it right in certain aspects, such as its farming system and its beautiful aesthetics, on the other hand we have superficial combats and performance errors hampering the journey, which ended up disappointing me a little. Anyway, it's undeniable that the title offers fun and has creative ides, which when combined, as well as Uncle Spark's ingenious mix of plants and animals, can entertain players of different styles at the same time.

ACA Neo Geo World Heroes 2 is a fighting game with fun and technically advanced gameplay, innovative projectile reflection and throw reversal mechanics, as well as offering two game modes and fourteen interesting characters. Unfortunately it is little known by the public, which makes its availability for modern platforms like Switch very important so that more people can know and appreciate it.

Prinny Presents NIS Classics Vol. 1 is a collection of good strategy games that, for fans of the genre, is worth checking out. Unfortunately, the lack of polish makes the titles not look as good as they should in a re-release, especially the Soul Nomad port, but they are still high quality titles from Nippon Ichi Software's collection.

Chess Knights: Shinobi is yet another game to learn chess and have fun with its tactics, but without revolutionizing in any aspect. The gameplay is quite simple and the chess pieces and level design capture the Japanese Edo era well enough. The puzzles range from the simplest and fastest to the insanely difficult very quickly, so getting through the full game is sure to be an arduous and challenging task.

For those who love action roguelikes and can play online with friends, Zengeon might even be interesting. However, overall the game is too shallow to be worth it. Switch already has several other more interesting examples of the genre.
