    Breath of the Wild's first expansion pass, known as The Master Trials, brings a very welcome addition to what is one of the most monumental games ever made. Raising the bar when it comes to the enemies' strength will force the players to plan their approaches in more strategic ways while the Trial of the Sword will push their endurance and tactical creativity to the maximum. Adding to this are Link's new outfits and something known as The Hero's Path, which will consolidate Breath of the Wild's magnificent experience and stir up new reasons to return to the game.

    West of Loathing is something particular. An adventure RPG with a bare simple art style and full of humour in a wild west setting...and it works, anyone who enjoys a good dose of humour, plenty of text, an absurd plot and who doesn't mind the rather uninspired combat system will have enough content here to go through the entire game and even to forget about the main story and get lost in all the side quests.

    Beggar's Ride is an involving, original, visually rich and fun puzzle platformer which is certain to strike an immediate chord with players who appreciate both genres.

    Shantae and the Seven Sirens could have been the best game in the series. It is not, mostly because of its undemanding difficulty level, unhelpful map and lacklustre soundtrack, but Seven Sirens is still a very enjoyable game with an overall experience that will welcome both newcomers and veterans alike, a lovely visual presentation and a well designed level structure. Yet another welcome arrival to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

    Super Hydorah is a fitting tribute to 16-bit era 2D shoot'em ups. Obviously, this implies a sharp difficulty level, which can become frustrating at certain moments but the game's variety when it comes to weapons and routes is a very attractive factor. What Super Hydorah amounts to is this is a marvelous 2D shooter and a very nice surprise on the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

    Sega's 80s classic gets the most perfect conversion it could get into the 3DS in the shape of 3D After Burner II. Every aspect of this conversion is not only faithful to the original but even enhances it where possible.

    The Denpa Men 3: The Rise of Digitoll is a continuity in evolution, bringing elements of change but leaving the series' fundamentals untouched. While being a game of its generation, it still creates a retro RPG outlook and addresses some of the nuisances often present in this genre, which is very appreciated, and its colourful and imaginative settings along with the customization possibilities are set to appeal. On the down side, its plot is relatively uninteresting and it doesn't really attempt to stand out from the series' previous titles.

    Blaster Master Zero should be pointed out as the formula to follow when making a remake of a classic game. While the original's technical aspects and some elements of gameplay were modernized according to today's demands, the contents and spirit of the 8-bit classic remain intact, just like a remake should be. Anyone can enjoy this, not just retrogaming enthusiasts, which further attests to Blaster Master Zero's qualities.
