One Piece: Grand Gourmet delivers a bittersweet experience packed with fan service. The idea of managing Sanji's restaurant and interacting with over 400 pixel-art characters works remarkably well, guaranteeing hours of fun. However, the rigid, mobile-inherited interface and technical flaws weigh down the experience. If you are a fan of One Piece looking for a casual simulator, the journey is well worth it, especially on the Nintendo Switch 2, which offers the best usability for the title.

Final Fantasy Resonance shines by balancing the franchise's rich heritage with a modern and exciting pace. The title goes a bit beyond a beautiful HD-2D presentation, delivering agile combat that respects the player's time. The game ensures you care about your team, making Rain and Lasswell's journey an easy recommendation for both nostalgic veterans and those discovering the magic of the crystals for the first time.

Disney/Pixar Toy Story: Retro Roundup! is far more than a simple nostalgic collection; it is an exemplary project of video game preservation. By bringing together classics that defined the 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit eras, the package celebrates the creative ingenuity of developers who adapted these iconic universes across both home consoles and handhelds. While certain game mechanics and camera issues naturally reflect the era in which they were created, the modern quality-of-life enhancements—combined with a rich museum archive of behind-the-scenes footage, artwork, and mini-documentaries—turn this collection into a true interactive exhibition. Offered at an accessible price point, it is an essential pick-up for nostalgic fans, retro-gaming enthusiasts, and a new generation of players alike.

Toy Story 3: Complete Edition restores one of the greatest classics of licensed games with the shine it deserves on the Nintendo Switch. Although it features dated movement and camera mechanics as well as a short campaign, the game makes up for it with an excellent cooperative mode, the inclusion of Brazilian Portuguese voice acting, and the immense freedom of Toy Box Mode. It is highly recommended for both children and nostalgic fans of the franchise.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a triumphant return for Joe Musashi, delivering fast-paced combat, precise movement, and stunning hand-drawn visuals. The Nintendo Switch 2 version brings noticeable visual improvements while preserving the smooth gameplay that makes this adventure shine. Despite its predictable story, the game stands out as a fantastic action platformer that deserves every fan's attention. A ninja adventure worth every swing of the katana!

Order of the Sinking Star is a clever, generous puzzle game from Jonathan Blow, with more than a thousand puzzles spread across four worlds whose mechanics gradually come together in surprising ways. The freedom to leave a puzzle and come back later keeps frustration low, and the story rewards players who enjoy piecing things together on their own. Its sheer size can become tiring, and the Switch 2 version has occasional frame drops and black-screen bugs, but it is a must-play for puzzle fans, best enjoyed in small doses.

Kingdom Hearts Collection [I–III] is one of the best ways to experience or revisit Sora’s saga, bringing together an impressive amount of content and running very well on Nintendo Switch 2. The age gap between the different entries is noticeable, as are some questionable narrative choices and the lack of Brazilian Portuguese subtitles. Even so, few collections can deliver such a long, peculiar, and emotional journey.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising has captured a place in many people’s hearts—and for good reason; its theme, music, and visuals are highly appealing for an RPG spin-off, allowing it to skillfully stand out against games dedicated to a single genre, even dedicated fighting games.

Dragon Quest XI on Nintendo Switch 2 delivers exactly what JRPG fans are looking for. If you enjoy immersing yourself in epic stories and exploring a rich world, this is a fantastic experience. However, if you have already invested dozens of hours on the previous console, the lack of save transfer and the game’s price will certainly make it harder to justify paying full price for this journey.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is the most ambitious entry in the series: four intertwined campaigns, some of the franchise’s best tactical battles and a massive world to explore. Pacing stumbles on the world map and the lack of Portuguese localization weighs on Brazilian players, but none of that overshadows what matters most: it is an excellent tactical RPG and one of the Nintendo Switch 2’s standout games.

Diablo IV arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 complete, with the main campaign, both expansions and all seasonal content, in a port that preserves the game’s scale and essence in handheld mode. The graphical compromises are noticeable and some bugs still need fixing, but none of that overshadows what matters most: this is the most convenient way to experience Sanctuary yet, and an easy recommendation for both new and longtime fans of the series.

Graveyard Keeper 2 is for those who enjoy being fully immersed in a complex system. Despite its inviting aesthetic, it isn’t a relaxing game, and it makes no effort to go easy on you during the opening hours. However, those patient enough to get past the learning curve will discover one of the richest, oddest, and most entertaining simulators of recent years. Fans of the original can buy it without hesitation. Newcomers should be prepared: there is a lot of hard work involved and that is precisely where the fun lies.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion finds a version worthy of Zack Fair’s journey on Nintendo Switch 2. Despite repetitive missions and a peculiar progression system, its entertaining combat, emotional story, and incredibly charismatic protagonist continue to make the adventure well worth experiencing. With its technical improvements, this is an excellent way to discover, or revisit, one of the most important stories in the Final Fantasy VII universe.

The game is a niche roguelike focused entirely on methodical strategy rather than fast-paced action. It comes highly recommended for fans of retro-style games looking to put their skills to the test with something akin to a large puzzle. However, if that doesn’t sound like your kind of experience, the current high price makes it difficult to justify the purchase.

A Investigação Póstuma succeeds where many literary adaptations fail: instead of merely illustrating Machado de Assis, it plays with him, using the irony, sarcasm, and fragmented structure that were the author’s hallmarks as the very engine of its game design. It is a game that demands patience and rewards those who enjoy piecing a story together bit by bit, rather than those looking to rush to the finish. For those who have already read Machado, it is a delight packed with references; for those who haven’t, it serves as the most entertaining gateway between Brazilian literature and gaming.

The game offers a solid farming adventure, appealing visuals, and a cute UI. However, in a sea of farming games, it seems to charge too much for what it delivers, and some bugs persist; still, the game has personality.

Unfortunately, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North has a weak story that serves merely to guide characters from point A to point B in a rather inorganic way. However, the gameplay loop remains fun, offering a variety of builds and the nostalgia of encountering characters from the books. Even so, it isn’t for everyone and might go unnoticed again, yet it still delivers an adventure—and a story—that often gets overlooked.

My Hero Academia: All’s Justice on Nintendo Switch 2 stumbles in its story mode cutscene presentation, the unjustifiable absence of the Portuguese language, certain graphical aspects, and slow online matchmaking. While those bothered by these issues might want to wait for updates to improve the overall experience, for players seeking stability, a large roster of characters, combos, and the anime’s unique feel, the heroes are already ready for action.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a robust game and a great addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 library. Even with some graphical and performance limitations, particularly when playing in docked mode, the game still delivers a solid experience in handheld mode. The repetition, some extremely linear sections, and a campaign that feels a bit stretched out do weigh the experience down, but they don’t take away from the fact that this is still a good game. It’s a great choice for longtime fans of the series, as well as anyone who enjoys a good hack-and-slash game, sword-based combat, and a samurai setting mixed with supernatural elements. It’s not a game I would consider revolutionary in any particular aspect, but it does a good job of keeping you entertained for several hours, even with all the repetition mentioned above.
