Shutshimi is a simple and very addictive fast-pace shoot'em up that presents itself in an old school-style and which will strike a chord with enthusiasts of intense scrolling shoot'em ups. So intense, in fact, that its experiences become too short-lived and its lifespan quickly falls behind when played solo, rather than on multiplayer.

Skylanders Imaginators pursues the legacy of its predecessors and is a fun, simple and visually rich action-platformer that makes use of action figures to interact in the game. It could have been more generous, given how much of its contents require owning all the figures, which will weigh heavily on the players' budgets, but the game also allows some margin to finish its main plot without the need to overspend.

7 Billion Humans brings a fun and very addictive concept to the Nintendo Switch under the guise of a game that runs the risk of looking dull at first but which will quickly reward its players with a varied, engaging experience. With a control system that favours the handheld experience over a screen interface and with a gameplay designed for one player only, 7 Billion Humans has more than enough to make up for these flaws with its amusing qualities.

While the action can get repetitive too fast and its difficulty level is a tad too artificial, the game is an overall fun experience with a good lifespan, especially on multiplayer up to four players, which is where Castle Crashers Remastered really shines.

Northgard on the Nintendo Switch may be an indie game but that doesn't mean it's not an ambitious work. On the contrary, this immense real-time strategy game offers an almost endless value with its colossal exploration and empire-building mechanics and with an exquisite presentation and a perfectly crafted handheld experience, Northgard is essential for everyone who likes a good, enveloping RTS and anyone beyond that circle as well.

Mousecraft, a simple puzzle-based game that draws inspiration from some classics of the genre and which can fill up short breaks in the day with its mix of fun and intuitive gameplay and cheery (but not cheesy) audiovisual environment. Fans of puzzlers will go beyond that and will easily enjoy it at much greater lengths whereas other players will prefer to take it in smaller amounts but regardless of the audience, the Nintendo Switch catalogue is richer and more attractive with the arrival of Mousecraft.

There's certainly a lot of qualities in The Keep and the game is not without its charms but there also seems to be an overall feeling of repetitiveness and lack of originality regarding other dungeon crawling titles.

Strikey Sisters is a simple game with a simple formula and a simple presentation...and it works: it's a fun, challenging and high-paced effort which gains an additional appeal in multiplayer and presents itself with a retro art style that fits its premise perfectly. Its plot moments could be dispensed with but they do not in any way interfere with the quality of the gameplay in this work.

The World Ends With You makes its premier on a home console and this Nintendo Switch version is certainly filled with elements that should attract any player's attention, from its dynamic combat system to its art style and fluid gameplay...as long as it's played on the Switch as a handheld, since the use of the conventional control system brings some interactivity problems and turns a fluid gameplay into something more clunky than it is acceptable. Regardless of that, this version of The World Ends With You is without doubt a very welcome addition to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

The concept of moving furniture out doesn't seem like the basis for an exciting game but Moving Out presents it in a way that will have players sweating and puffing in order to make it far. While its controls aren't always as sharp as they should and not all players will react positively, Moving Out is definitely worth checking out.

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 deserves a lot of praise for its top notch humour coupled with references to fairy tales and contemporary pop culture, as well as for its defying (and frustrating) puzzles, well-written plot and art style. The game would rank even higher if it featured touch screen controls, a flaw that clearly stands out in a point and click game, and if its selling price was closer to versions of the same game in other platforms. Despite these factors, this is easily one of the most fun games that the Nintendo eShop catalogue has to offer.

Football Manager Touch 2018 is the first game of the Football Manager series to land on the Nintendo Switch and while it may not be the definite version of Football Manager 2018, it's certainly a successful adaptation to the Nintendo Switch format. Thanks to its quick-paced fluid gameplay, the game can be easily played on a handheld basis and its interface fits the Nintendo Switch touch screen perfectly. While there are technical issues to solve and the game lacks an online component, this version of Football Manager is certainly a welcome contribution to the Nintendo Switch catalog.

Mantis Burn Racing expands the Nintendo Switch catalog on the racing genre and brings forth a fun and well-made effort, featuring an entertaining driving challenge, with plenty of content to explore and very detailed visuals. It doesn't avoid a certain feeling of repetitiveness but Mantis Burn Racing has what it takes to be a recommended racing game for the Nintendo Switch.

Darksiders Warmastered Edition marks the return of the Darksiders series and its arrival on the Nintendo Switch after landing in other platforms. It's true that it doesn't bring anything new compared to its original version but what is here is a game that features a fun gameplay, very good boss fights and a very nice-looking art style, it just needs to fix its occasional crashing problem but for those who are not familiar with the Darksiders series, this will be a good introduction.

Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble is a fun and well designed turn-based strategy game that drew inspiration from some of the finest references in Nintendo consoles and delivers a very improved sequel on its predecessor where the level of strategy involved and the amount of content help make this a very recommended work, with its rather slow start and long loading times being easier to weather with so many redeeming qualities.

M2 did a wonderful job with 3D Galaxy Force II. The 3D version is superb in all components and redeems the disaster that was the Mega Drive version. It won’t take you long to complete, but it is still a great effort.

Tetrabot and Co. rightfully deserves more exposition in the Wii U’s eShop catalogue. This is a fun, challenging and intuitive puzzle game, topped by a brilliant level design that is set to keep players glued to the (very well implemented) control system for a long time.

Knytt Underground is an odd game, and certainly a polarizing one, as some will greatly enjoy its ambiance and exploration-heavy gameplay, while others won't be able to overlook its terrible story and dialogue sections.

Nihilumbra does a perfect job at creating a nihilistic setting which will plunge the player in a gloomy, depressive spiral. Its visual and sound environments fit the game's plot without any flaws and the initial difficulty level allows the player to finish the plot-driven part of the game without problems. Things get more complicated once the player reaches the following segment, where the difficulty level hikes dramatically and the whole experience becomes much harder.

Simple but by no means empty, Inbento does not feature any major thrills or breathtaking ups and downs but it definitely provides a heart-filling experience, complete with kittens and a welcoming audiovisual environment.

Pokémon Art Academy is a well presented software that manages to teach the players about drawing within a Pokémon-esque context, providing a vital and compelling framework for would-be artists to learn some skills while exploring one of Nintendo's biggest series. Sharing one's creations is also a high point here, even though the overall experience can be rather short and a 3DS screen does not go as far as a real canvas.

Its low selling price makes up for not being the series' ultimate version and for the absence of some elements that were part of previous iterations of Toki Tori. Its appeal, however, will be mostly limited to fans of the genre.

With its fun gameplay mechanics and marvelous art style, Creature in the Well's qualities far outweigh its sense of repetitiveness and absence of a more pronounced audio component. A very original and welcome addition to the Nintendo Switch catalogue that everyone should try.

Super Chariot tries to do something bold: to stand out, as a 2D platformer, in a Nintendo system. And it can't be blamed for trying, as the game feature a long and entertaining lifespan with a sharp gameplay that will keep players amused for some time, even more in its cooperative multiplayer mode, amidst its visually welcoming environments.

Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle is what happens when one of the world's most iconic horror movie series is given a hilarious gaming treatment. A game that's full of comedic moments which will get the players to grow fond of it immediately, this is a surprising work to be found in the Nintendo Switch eShop and which should be quickly claimed by players and fans of the series alike.

It could certainly use some improvement regarding its single player appeal, as it becomes repetitive too quickly and its difficulty level does not quite stand the test. All that aside, Pokkén Tournament is worthy of praise and a good example on how to bring one series to a different genre.

Sega managed to take one of its 1980s arcade classics and turned into an attractive conversion able to keep the gamers happy and entertained. With gameplay that adapts perfectly to short gaming sessions and a very competent transition from the arcade to the handheld format, 3D Super Hang-on crowns it with a perfectly smooth 3D effect. This is an effort that deserves to be experienced.

Whether someone is familiar with Metal Slug 3 or not, this conversion under the banner of the ACA Neo Geo series, will work wonders. SNK's iconic run and gun series is very well represented in this conversion for the Nintendo Switch which faithfully maintains all the elements that made the original such a remarkable and appreciated game. Veterans and newcomers alike will all find plenty of reasons to invest their time and effort here.
