Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut is the perfect debut for the franchise on the Switch 2. With enhanced graphics, additional voice acting, and a new game mode, it goes beyond a simple port. The gripping story and impactful combat are just as good as before if not better. It’s an excellent entry point for newcomers and a worthy return for longtime fans. A promising start for the Like a Dragon universe on Nintendo’s platform.

Ruffy tries, and succeeds to some extent, in blending nostalgic textures with a faster and more current gameplay, delivering a fun, well-localized, and striking game that will certainly appeal to the old guard and can be a great starting point for new players.

Tamagotchi Plaza is a mix of charm, nostalgia, and good ideas that are partially executed. It’s cute, accessible, and has a good heart, but it also feels a bit rushed, with unpolished elements and a worrying lack of localization. It’s a game that works well in small doses and can provide a good time for fans of the franchise or patient kids. But with a little more care, it could have been truly special.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is, in the end, a way to shine the spotlight once again on one of the great JRPGs from the 3DS era, now featuring visual enhancements and two charming minigames that feel more like Joy-Con function tests. The game delivers everything you’d expect from a solid Japanese RPG: a compelling story, an impeccable soundtrack, beautiful environments, charismatic characters, and a revamped turn-based combat system that adds strategy and dynamism to every battle. The freedom in team building and well-written dialogues give rhythm and personality to the journey, making the experience captivating from start to finish. It’s highly recommended for those looking to get into the world of JRPGs or to relive the genre’s golden age. However, for those who already played it on the 3DS, the new content is minimal and doesn’t quite justify a return—unless, of course, it’s out of pure nostalgia for Luxendarc.

Hogwarts Legacy arrives on the Nintendo Switch 2 with the grandeur it always deserved. After a frustrating initial release on the previous console, Big N fans finally receive a smooth, visually polished, and technically stable experience — something essential for the magic to truly work. Despite some stumbles in the main narrative and limitations in the progression and customization systems, the game shines where it matters most: in atmosphere, combat, and immersion. Exploring the halls of Hogwarts, flying across the open fields on a broomstick, and casting classic spells is everything a fan could wish for — and more. With improved performance and the quality delivered, Hogwarts Legacy stands as one of the best third-party adaptations on the Switch 2 so far. If you ever dreamed of receiving your Hogwarts letter… Now is the time to open the envelope.

Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade is a captivating visual experience, with an immersive soundtrack and good combat ideas. However, structural repetition and limited variety between runs prevent the game from reaching its full potential. Recommended especially for those who value art and style, but perhaps less suitable for those looking for mechanical innovation in roguelites.

LUNAR Remastered Collection is a nostalgic and immersive experience that blends beauty, charm, and smooth gameplay, evoking childhood imagination and emotions in a simple yet profound way. With anime-style cutscenes, a phenomenal soundtrack, and captivating adventures, the game is both a gem for fans of Japanese RPGs and an accessible entry point for newcomers. It comes highly recommended, especially for its ability to reinvigorate players with such a pure and thrilling journey.

Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC is a modern game, but with a strong influence from retro experiences, that delivers content that is in line with the price charged. It is recommended for those looking for quick and straightforward fun, since the game gets straight to the point and delivers quality races, with a classic 3D or isometric view of the games, depending on the customer’s taste. It is very good to play in portable mode, when we only have 5 or 10 minutes available, you know?

Mario Kart World not only honors the legacy of the franchise, but also expands upon it with boldness and creativity. The new free mode, open world, and new modes add layers of depth and replayability to a title that was already synonymous with fun. The experience remains familiar, accessible, and impeccable from a technical and artistic standpoint, all with Nintendo’s hallmark of excellence.

Welcome Tour isn’t exactly a game in the traditional sense, but it’s also far from being just a disguised manual. It’s an interactive experience carefully designed to introduce the Nintendo Switch 2 in a creative—and often charming—way. Overall, the title does a good job of being both playful and informative. However, at times it lacks depth and challenge, which can make the journey feel brief and somewhat unremarkable. In the end, Welcome Tour is a lovely introduction to the console, but it might have worked better as a complimentary welcome gift rather than a paid title.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny arrives on the Nintendo Switch as a remaster that honors its legacy while delivering a solid experience. While it still carries some of the visual limitations of its time and occasionally stumbles with static camera issues, the game remains fun, stylish, and full of personality. Capcom has skillfully balanced nostalgia and accessibility, offering a title that still feels relevant—whether you’re revisiting the PS2 era or discovering the franchise for the first time. The dark atmosphere, dynamic combat, and Jubei’s personal journey make this adventure well worth rediscovering. If you enjoy hack-and-slash games with a strong dose of historical and supernatural ambiance, this reimagined classic has everything it needs to earn your time and perhaps even your samurai heart.

The game is a visual novel that captivates fans of the genre with charismatic characters, stunning cutscenes, an engaging narrative, and elements from other genres that add depth, mystery, and a touch of weirdness, despite a dense start that becomes smoother and more captivating over time; however, for those unfamiliar with visual novels, the experience can be disappointing due to the slow pace, excessive dialogue, limited animations, simplistic combat, and caricatured anime-style characters, making the game less recommendable for newcomers, who might prefer the story as an anime rather than a game.

Star Overdrive is everything it’s cracked up to be. It’s the closest an indie game could get to The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of The Wild; it has movement mechanics reminiscent of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater; it’s a sci-fi with elements of the “hero myth”. But it’s much more than that. It’s about exploring worlds in style, it’s about defeating giant enemies, it’s about adrenaline with a hoverboard and a lot of style with a sword/guitar/keyboard. Finally, it’s about a gameplay loop so enjoyable and addictive that even though it’s an indie game and has a price tag, it feels more like it’s coming from a AAA game.

Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus is an excellent Metroidvania for newcomers to the genre. With its accessible difficulty and shorter length, it’s a very inviting experience for less experienced players. The aerial combat is incredibly satisfying, the visuals are stunning, and the soundtrack is spectacular, enhancing the overall exploration. However, the price might feel a bit high for what the game offers, especially when compared to other titles in the genre.

The Stone of Madness has excellent art and great gameplay moments, but while the game could be a replayable escape some bugs make the game frustrating, what could be a fun gameplay, the difficult controls and character bugs make you leave the game, but don’t give up, it’s worth it, with patches the game could become an excellent addition to the genre.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a wonderful game, but it is lacking in price and language accessibility. If this is not a problem for you, and if you like science fiction, this game will guarantee many hours of fun, contemplation and of course GIANT ROBOTS! Go for it and may MONADO lend you his power!

The time loop may be repetitive, but the game has a refined mix of action and turn-based combat. And in my humble opinion, the Daybreak series could have started by being localized into several languages, as for the story, the game really feels like an expansion of Game One, bringing things from other games in the Trails series and making it a little confusing for people who are not used to it.

Tired of Super Mario 64, Banjo & Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64? Try Glover, a different game about collecting items and mainly about passing levels and advancing through different scenarios to save the kingdom. If one word could sum up the game, that word would be “creativity”, and it’s great to be able to revisit – or experience – this journey in HD on the Nintendo Switch.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land, in this writer’s humble opinion, was a recipe for success, in which all the high-quality parts made up for the ones that weren’t so high. Fans of the franchise will love it, rest assured, but I believe the game is a good choice for anyone who enjoys the genre, and a great option for new players.

Four years after the release of the formidable Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, Binary Haze Interactive reaffirms its potential as a developer by delivering yet another spectacular game. Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist elevates the exuberance of the Metroidvania genre, masterfully blending design, soundtrack, and gameplay into a unique experience. With its distinct essence, the game earns every bit of praise it receives, further solidifying the studio’s talent.
