Atelier Sophie 2 is a game that retains the conventions of the franchise, but improves on them a little. With exquisite visuals, more features such as no loading screens when entering battle, and a decent story, this is another Japanese RPG that fans of the series will love, but may not sit well with newcomers.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a solid choice for survival horror fans, combining classic elements with fresh mechanics and a genuinely terrifying atmosphere.

WarioWare delivers a new batch of brilliant minigames although it has some issues, such as a somewhat slow and dull selection of multiplayer modes, and a slightly short duration.

Sonic x Shadow Generations arrives on Switch 2 as the ultimate tribute to the blue blur, blending nostalgia and speed with a surprisingly bold and spectacular Shadow campaign. A solid package, though technically improvable.

Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden is a rather continuist game in regards to the original installment of the franchise. However, that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

Made in Abyss stays true to Akihito Tsukushi's original work, reminding us just how intriguing and mysterious his world can be. The new story expands its universe even further, but the somewhat clunky control and unstable performance screws up much of the gameplay experience.

Aeterna Noctis surprises you with its high difficulty and charms you with its addictive gameplay. A metroidvania that brings together elements of great games to create a big universe, that although it shines with its own light, it doesn't end up innovating, but it does very well what it sets out to do.

A fun and original game showcasing the Princess Peach's most hidden facets, with some technical issues and a very low difficulty that may not satisfy all players.

Just Dance 2026 Edition once again crowns itself as the undisputed king of the dance floor. Although it adds new features like a multiplayer Party Mode and the option to use the camera to track your movements, this edition still feels more like an additional pack with 40 new songs to expand its already massive music catalog. An enjoyable and effective entry, but a rather conservative one.

Just Dance continues to make small steps towards its new evolution as an on-demand song service. Despite new inclusions like the Sweat Mode, its real weight lies in the constant updates throughout the year and in the ever-growing catalog of Just Dance +. This year, the game doesn't feel like just another installment, but rather an extension of a huge musical library.

Just Dance looks better than ever with a great visual update, preparing for the future of the series and adapting to modern times without forgetting its roots. The subscription service, Just Dance+, needs time to grow and, for now, we don't think it's worth it due to its low amount of content.

Samba de Amigo Party Central becomes a must-have for the Nintendo Switch to break the ice at parties. Despite some issues with motion controls, its eye-catching characters and music will get anyone up and dancing to steal the spotlight on the dance floor.

However, the lack of the original soundtrack in an edition meant to celebrate that very legacy keeps it from being the definitive tribute Rayman deserved.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a good fighting game aimed at fans of Persona 3 and Persona 4 who were eager to meet their charismatic casts again in a new adventure. It has plenty of game modes and extras, but it's still a niche release with only a few additions and some things to polish up.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have failed as open-world games. Its premise with three routes seems original, but it becomes a repetitive task in which some mini-games in the gyms are really boring.

This Is Fine: Maximum Cope gives the dog from the This is fine meme a life of his own, sending him on an emotional journey to face his deepest insecurities.

Given the track record of the Wii Sports series, we expected Nintendo Switch Sports to be a relatively well-rounded product, but both the small amount of content and its online instability for games such as Chambara and Badminton left us a bittersweet taste.

There's a lot of life left in the Rabbids. Despite their technical simplicity, going back to their party roots has brought them back in a fun direction that we liked.

Tamarindo’s Freaking Dinner is a first-person adventure as eccentric as it is uneven, a cocktail of macabre humor and ’90s-style chaos that stands out more for its personality than its polish. It may not be the most refined indie on Switch 2, but its unmistakable style and its loop-and-cannibals premise make it a peculiar yet memorable experience.

Oddballers is a fun, varied game with a lot of possibilities, especially in local multiplayer. The lack of optimization in the Nintendo Switch version, as well as the lack of character voices, makes it feel less cool and well-made than its predecessor.

Konami hasn’t put in all the effort it should’ve in Super Bomberman R 2. The new modes and innovations compared to the classic Bomberman aren’t particularly enjoyable and underutilize a very powerful gameplay core. Furthermore, the Nintendo Switch version suffers from performance and resolution issues.
