NintendoBoy's Reviews

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is the ideal game for those who enjoy action roguelikes and want to enjoy a fun title with a good story and don't want to get angry with overly difficult bosses, in addition to the richly detailed setting and a good soundtrack.

9.5 / 10.0 - Illusion of Itehari
Sep 17, 2025

Illusion of Itehari definitely stands out due to its high production values for the genre. And, with its ambitious concept, the game shows itself as something more than a title that had a lot of money thrown at it. Itehari offers something besides a romance in a playful fantasy setting and uses its world's concepts to create stories that, even though they may not avoid obviousness, are still well written and say something about the real world.

Cronos: The New Dawn is an excellent survival horror game, drawing heavily from other horror games. You can clearly see the references and inspirations, whether in the gameplay, atmosphere, or puzzles. It's important to emphasize, however, that it's not a mere copy. In fact, the title has its own identity and can easily be placed on the same level as other giants of the subgenre.

7.5 / 10.0 - NBA 2K26
Sep 15, 2025

NBA 2K26 is an excellent title when it focuses on recreating basketball in a virtual world. Sports fans will be happy with what's available here. Unfortunately, 2K's aggressive approach to online modes, microtransactions, and especially the lack of leveraging the power of the Nintendo Switch 2 to deliver a customized experience specifically for the platform ultimately undermine what could have been a strong start for the franchise on the new console.

EVERYBODY’S GOLF HOT SHOTS is a solid, fun game with plenty of content if it caught your attention, but it really isn’t the most innovative or polished game, and unfortunately it doesn’t stand out as much as it could.

I thought this proposal of bringing a soulslike into a 2D metroidvania-style world was good, as games with this theme are scarce on the market, and it also has simple yet fluid combat, and a very complete item and magic creation system that helps to customize and make each game style something unique.

8.5 / 10.0 - Star Wars Outlaws
Sep 11, 2025

Star Wars Outlaws is an organic game, full of complex natural landscapes, modern textures, and highly detailed models. Of course, there are some noticeable compromises the developer had to make to bring the game to the Switch 2, but nothing that detracts from the experience.

8.5 / 10.0 - Kemono Teatime
Sep 10, 2025

Kemono Teatime is one of those games that's hard to talk about without spoilers. Part of the experience is being shocked by the themes it choose to explore and, later, how naturally it deals with it. Despite that, it's still a cozy game and a good one at that, as it doesn't just offer an empty story and has something to say.

Baki Hanma: Blood Arena breathes Punch-Out!! and makes a point of revealing its inspiration at every opportunity, in the few game modes it offers. While it doesn't quite reach the same level of control quality and fluidity, Baki Hanma's adaptation of the Punch-Out style nearly pass the year, demonstrating that the series has the potential to produce great games; it just needs more investment and perhaps a little more appetite for bigger projects.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land has undeniably been enhanced by the Nintendo Switch 2's more powerful hardware, and the addition of Star-Crossed World as substantial new content only helps to enhance what was already a spectacular game.

Super Robot Wars Y is a game that manages to entertain those who play it, whether for the strategy and RPG factor, or for seeing iconic mecha battling alongside each other.

8 / 10.0 - Shuten Order
Aug 29, 2025

Personally, I loved the story of Shuten Order, and I think it’s a game that deserves to be played. However, there’s one thing that’s practically shooting itself in the foot: the translation, which can’t stay consistent and gives the impression that a quality‑check was missing to make it perfect. That said, if you’re looking for a story that will get you hooked, then it’s definitely a game I can recommend, especially for those who appreciate the tone that Too Kyo Games knows how to deliver.

9 / 10.0 - Mind Over Magnet
Aug 26, 2025

Mind Over Magnet is a great recommendation for anyone interested in game design, especially platformers. Despite its simplicity, there's a lot to learn from what's presented here, and it's quite enjoyable even for those just curious like me. The game fits perfectly into the portable console space, so there's no doubt that the Nintendo Switch is the ideal platform for playing.

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is a fun game that modernizes the original title and makes it more accessible not only to veterans but also to newcomers looking to explore the series. The bazaar and its general mechanics integrate well with the franchise's traditional formula, offering a truly enjoyable and highly addictive experience.

9.5 / 10.0 - Iwakura Aria
Aug 24, 2025

Curiously, everything that can be said about Iwakuria Aria as a game can also be said about the character Iwakura Aria. It is a beautiful but imperfect game, its themes are what define it, in addition to being much deeper than the surface shows and filled with layers. At the end of the day, what remains of Iwakuria Aria is a solid and balanced experience that has a lot to say.

Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is a good action platformer that manages to present a world filled with charm and worth exploring. Though a few details may be inconvenient for those already used to modern games in the genre, the experience balances out the effort.

7.5 / 10.0 - Drag x Drive
Aug 19, 2025

Analyzing the game itself, it's impossible not to recommend it, despite my reservations. While it's not the showcase it seemed, it remains an interesting mix of controls, with a certain charm in the interactions between avatars, both in and out of matches.

6 / 10.0 - Madden NFL 26
Aug 16, 2025

The impression I get is that Madden is made exclusively for those who already understand the sport, for those already in this niche, and it's unlikely to "capture" anyone from outside. If you're a fan of the series, you might have read this text with hatred and be cursing even the fifth generation of my family, but look, I'm open to receiving tips or even video recommendations to better understand the game. I'm frustrated because I thought it was impossible for me to simply receive a game that I couldn't actually "play," but that's basically what happened here.

9.5 / 10.0 - OFF
Aug 15, 2025

In an industry rife with empty releases made solely to fill the table and works of art ruined by corporate greed, stopping for a few hours and experiencing a title like OFF is almost like a punch in the face, a questioning of morality in the form of a meta-commentary on the consumption of video game media, but at the same time, a reminder that the world is much bigger, and that real art is still worthwhile.

The diversity of each member's personality and background, as well as the field they each work in, helps BUSTAFELLOWS Season 2 be a fun game that never loses its charm, further enchanting fans of the franchise. Furthermore, in this second game, the script is much more direct and sincere than the original. It's brutal and explicit when necessary, sparing no words when describing what's happening.
