    Diablo Immortal
    Diablo Immortal successfully brings the iconic hack-and-slash formula to mobile devices without compromise, though the free-to-play model may prove irritating.

    Kirby's Dream Buffet
    Kirby's Dream Buffet is a treat for the eyes and a fun little game that people of all ages can enjoy. Courses are chosen at random rather than allowing you to choose where you race or what location a minigame is held, but that in and of itself adds to the game's exciting simplicity.

    Sonic Frontiers
    The fun new "open-zone" exploration and throwbacks to retro Sonic games make this the best Sonic game in a long time. However, there are some bad visuals on Switch and gameplay can get repetitive.

    Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
    This is one of the best games to come to the Nintendo Switch. It has everything you look for in an RPG, from gorgeous cutscenes and complex battle systems to awesome creature collecting. The frame rates couldn't keep up in some places, but it is an excellent adventure nonetheless.

    Apex Legends Mobile
    Apex Legends Mobile is able to differentiate itself enough from its original version to make it worth checking out for both fans and newcomers. However, its restricted movement and touchscreen controls might make it offputting for those not comfortable with mobile shooters.

    NEO: The World Ends With You
    The manga art style, edgy music, and interesting premise make this a fun game for any player. Help Rindo and his team escape the "Reapers' Game" and meet a colorful cast of characters in the process.

    Triangle Strategy
    Triangle Strategy is a solid tactics title that features strong characters and gameplay, though it may not be for you if you're not into dialogue-heavy games.

    Colors Live
    It's a great game for anyone who wants to check out digital painting. The pen has surprisingly good pressure sensitivity giving you good control. You can then share your images with others or view others' work on the online gallery. Additionally, the Color Quest minigame helps give you prompts if you aren't sure what to do.

    Shin Megami Tensei V
    Deep, multi-faceted gameplay anchors a story that spans modern Tokyo and the realms of gods, demons, and angels beyond. It's not for everyone, but hardcore JRPG fans will find a lot to love in Shin Megami Tensei V. It's a worthy entry in the long-running series.

    Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
    Three Hopes allows you to revisit your favorite characters from Three Houses while providing them with a different plot from the original game. However, many of the missions begin to feel repetitive. You will be disappointed if you expect this to have as much strategy as a core Fire Emblem game, but the character developments and new storylines are fun to explore.

    The Famicom Detective Club games are gorgeous to look at and provide interesting supernatural mysteries for you to uncover. If you like manga, anime, or murder mysteries, these interactive visual novels will be right up your alley.

    New Pokemon Snap
    New Pokémon Snap brings the spirit of the original game to a brand new generation on the Nintendo Switch. With breath-taking visuals, tight gameplay, and an unmistakable Pokémon charm, this title is a relaxing and laid-back experience worth exploring.

    Miitopia
    This Nintendo Switch port gives people the chance to experience a great RPG that they may have missed. Its silly nature is refreshing after so many serious JRPGs, but the world is lacking and the way that the game teaches you how to use new jobs can come off as a bit aggressive.

    Cozy Grove
    Cozy Grove is a fun and beautifully drawn life-sim game with a "spooky" twist that you can sink over 40 hours into at a relaxed pace. It's a charming game with lovely graphics and memorable characters. However, it does have a few bugs and pacing issues.

    Nintendo Switch Sports
    As a party game to play with friends and family and bring a group together, this is a good pick. For those who have played this style of game before, it is familiar with just enough twists of new elements. It's easy to learn to play without being too boring for experienced players. When it comes to solo play or online play, I think it will become redundant and dull quickly.

    Rune Factory 5
    Rune Factory fans will enjoy the game's switch to full 3D. However, it still has a lot of growing pains to get through.

    WarioWare: Get It Together!
    WarioWare: Get It Together! is a great party game that will be especially entertaining for co-op players. Some of the game modes force you to play certain characters, but those can be easily avoided if you don't enjoy them.

    Pokemon Violet
    These would be the best Pokémon games ever if not for the performance issues. Gen 9 provides an amazing plot, the fun battling mechanics we've always loved, and freedom to explore just about anywhere. However, extreme choppiness, lag, and frame rate issues sour the experience.

    Sonic Colors: Ultimate
    This classic Sonic game offers some really fast-paced courses to run through, but the port can be very glitchy. It also looks and plays like a dated game. Unless you're a major Sonic fan, you might want to stay clear.

    Game Builder Garage
    Game Builder Garage is an impressive and accessible entry into visual programming for those interested in game design, but the archaic online options and game limitations keep Game Builder Garage from reaching its potential.

    Mario Golf: Super Rush
    Mario Golf: Super Rush is a pretty good golf game packed with a good amount of content. The only problem is that most of that new content gets boring fast, and an uneven presentation doesn't help.

    Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster
    Completionist fans of the series might enjoy playing Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster, but it's an often frustrating and tedious experience due to clunky and repetitive gameplay.

    The Witcher: Monster Slayer
    It's certainly cool fighting monsters from The Witcher and watching a story unfold through some lovely comic-style art. Unfortunately, the game requires too much of a time commitment and is pretty much pay to win.

    Mario Strikers: Battle League
    While the multiplayer in Mario Strikers: Battle League is great at its core, the single-player and online content really fumbles the score.

    Harvest Moon: One World
    Harvest Moon: One World left me wanting more. As I played, I kept waiting for things to get better, but nothing ended up exciting me. Even some of the more interesting storylines in certain town quests were overshadowed by how tedious others were, not to mention the absence of any feelings of progression given that tools can't be upgraded to make life easier. When I thought about other similar games, I wished I were playing them instead. I think it's safe to say that you won't miss out on anything by skipping this entry in the Harvest Moon series. When it comes to farming- and life simulator games, you'll definitely find better games on the Nintendo Switch.
