    Sparks of Hope is an excellent sequel to Mario + Rabbids that improves everything compared to the first game, with some graphical flaws and some risky changes that have been very positive.

    Pokémon Pokopia is a delightful surprise: a cozy spin-off that blends the best of Minecraft, Dragon Quest Builders, and Animal Crossing into something with a distinct identity within the series. If you’re willing to embrace its laid-back vibe, it could be one of the most addictive and comforting experiences in the Nintendo Switch 2 catalog.

    Kirby Air Riders is a bold and addictive reinvention of the GameCube classic, full of personality and featuring City Trial mode that shines brighter than ever. It’s not the visual leap we expected on Nintendo Switch 2, but it makes up for it with solid gameplay, plenty of variety and content, and a social focus that can keep it alive for years.

    Monster Hunter Stories 3 is the definitive leap forward for the subseries: a more mature story, memorable characters, and a beautiful world that place it among the best JRPGs on Nintendo Switch 2. Its rock paper scissors combat system still holds back gameplay with a lot of potential, but its ambition, art direction, and storytelling make it an essential experience.

    The Delicious Last Course is more of Cuphead. Not better. Not worse. Just more of what we loved of Cuphead. If you like the original game, you will enjoy this DLC.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment successfully expands the backstory of Tears of the Kingdom and practically requires prior experience with that game. This solid musou for Nintendo Switch 2 leans heavily on a mix of action and cutscenes aimed at Zelda fans. While it doesn’t innovate within the musou genre or the Hyrule Warriors series, it delivers an intense, entertaining adventure on the new console.

    Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 is, arguably, the best way to experience Capcom’s classic. With all content included, outstanding performance, and the added versatility of motion controls, this native version surpasses previous releases and becomes a must-play for survival horror fans.

    Inscryption is a journey that will not leave you indifferent. Although his constant desire to surprise the player leads him to take many risks, it achieves what it sets out to do in most cases.

    Nier: Automata on Nintendo Switch is another miracle of optimization that brings a great sci-fi adventure to the portable format in an outstanding way. DLC additions or motion controls don't make an excellent game any better.

    Return to Monkey Island is a love letter to the Point & Click genre, as well as a great graphic adventure, both narratively and artistically, keeping the essence of the Monkey Island saga. It brings freshness and a new and intuitive game system.

    One of the best and most complete party games in the entire history of Super Mario, hitting the mark with a great selection of minigames, options, and game modes.

    The most unique and distinctive Resident Evil in the series, delivering a complete experience that works surprisingly well on Nintendo Switch 2. The included DLC rounds out an adventure that may be somewhat uneven at times but is highly enjoyable overall, with a port that comes close to or even matches the level of PlayStation 5, all in a portable console format.

    Rockstar brings Red Dead Redemption to the Nintendo Switch with a simple, notable, and very stable adaptation in its performance. The years have not been kind, and the control system feels even more rough and stiff than before. The lack of motion controls makes it less user-friendly for new players and would have helped add agility to a game that impresses in handheld format, but feels quite dated.

    Super Mario Party Jamboree TV leverages Nintendo Switch 2’s features to deliver fresh, albeit uneven modes. The mouse mode stands out as particularly fun, while camera and microphone features still require refinement. Despite some confusion regarding content structure, it’s a solid pick if you’re looking to enhance the original experience.

    Persona 4 Golden returns on the latest generation consoles to revive one of the best JRPG adventures in history. Although some visual elements expose the limitations of its initial version on Playstation Vita, this does not harm it too much and allows you to enjoy a very interesting story full of plot twists.

    Bayonetta isn't just about non-stop action, and she has shown that in Cereza and the Lost Demon with an adventure that puzzle-loving, story-driven, and exploration-seeking fans will absolutely adore.

    Mistwalker has rescued Fantasian to prove that turn-based RPGs can still surprise with dynamic and strategic combat mechanics accompanied by a superb artwork and a story that, while not surprising, takes very little time to captivate you. A must-have of the genre on Switch.

    Sonic takes Nintendo Switch to the limit with a strange open world in its own way, very funny and entertaining to play. It draws inspiration from some of the best open world games to please all kinds of gamers.

    Star-Crossed World feels like a well-integrated playable epilogue: more content and new paths thanks to crystals, three clever Mouthful modes, and an engaging Starries hunt. It doesn’t reinvent the formula, but it adds a solid 4–5 hours and reasons to return to Waddle Dee Town on Switch 2.

    Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is almost the best possible rebirth for a Japanese RPG classic in Europe. Although it has its flaws, such as frame drops at times, its complex plot and original mechanics make it an incredible game for lovers of the genre.

    Street Fighter VI: Years 1-2 Fighters Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 is a solid title that stands out for its precise and varied gameplay.

    While Rayman's appearance in the game is simply justified by fan service, it's evident that the Mario + Rabbids team has put a lot of care and dedication into the character to give him the respect he deserves. The Phantom Show provides an adventure that matches the quality of the other game worlds and leaves us feeling satisfied.
