    Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series is a great celebration of the character's legacy with a refreshed visual look of two of his most classic games. However, despite being iconic platformers with a great story, they also have its downsides, such as frame-pacing issues on Nintendo Switch and lack of new content.

    Pokémon Legends: Z-A reinvents the series with bold real-time battles and an ambitious urban world. Though exploration feels limited, its combat depth and smooth performance make it a standout evolution for the saga.

    Banana Rumble is one of the most complete Super Monkey Ball games in history, with some technical issues that may cause slight dizziness at times, but it’s packed with content and challenges for all kind of players.

    Nintendo has made the return of Mario & Luigi in Brothership the most complete and entertaining entry in the series, blending strategic gameplay with immersive exploration in a new world. Although its story may feel a bit childish, its adaptation to Switch and the complexity of its mechanics make it a very solid and enjoyable RPG experience.

    Donkey Kong Country Returns HD manages to refine the series’ formula to perfection, featuring a fairly high difficulty level that may frustrate some players, but that we consider acceptable for those seeking a true challenge. The HD remaster on Nintendo Switch doesn’t offer many new additions, but it effectively revitalizes this modern classic, and it’s definitely one you shouldn’t miss if you’re a fan of platformers.

    Without a doubt, the best way to explore Mira: 4K and 60 fps sharpen the feel of a sci-fi RPG that remains truly unique in Nintendo’s catalog. The technical leap makes its Wii U origins more noticeable, but the game beneath it all still shines brightly.

    Luigi's most personal adventure comes to Nintendo Switch with no more pretensions than being a high-definition version of a fantastic Nintendo 3DS game that successfully blends exploration and comic horror.

    Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE is a game that aims to constantly surprise the player both with its crazy story and its simple mechanics. While its technical aspect still needs some polishing, this doesn't overshadow a universe that promises to offer new adventures.

    The best entry point to the Yakuza series. Kiwami is a heartbreaking story of redemption where the combat and the setting grab you despite its technical weaknesses.

    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.

    The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story is a highly original proposal with a remarkable presentation and a masterful soundtrack. Therefore, it is a pity that its gameplay does not know how to live up to it.

    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.

    An interesting option for die-hard Pac-Man fans and nostalgic lovers of 3D platformers, but it doesn’t quite shine as brightly as it deserves. It works as a faithful and entertaining remake, but lacks major surprises or risks.

    Yooka-Replaylee is a solid choice for those looking to recapture the essence of Nintendo 64 classics with a modern twist. While it has some technical details that could be improved, it delivers a highly satisfying overall experience.

    A simple JRPG set in the world of Monster Hunter with obvious visual shortcomings. It doesn't particularly stand out for its story or gameplay, but the setting and the universe of Capcom's saga make it a unique and refreshing monster-capturing experience.

    Hitman: World of Assassination – Signature Edition packs immense replayability and extensive content into Nintendo Switch 2, delivering a superb handheld experience. However, technical shortcomings, particularly frame rate inconsistencies in docked mode, slightly tarnish an otherwise exceptional collection. A definitive edition for both newcomers and longtime fans.

    Mario Tennis Fever is the best entry in the series in a long time, with a great overall structure, the largest roster of characters in its history, and an unlock system that encourages you to keep playing. The soundtrack doesn’t quite reach the level of Super Mario, but the characters’ charisma and the variety of modes more than make up for it.

    A good adaptation of the Game Boy Advance game that satisfies both casual and experienced players, those looking for a cooperative puzzle experience, and even those seeking challenging platforming games.

    World of Goo 2 is the perfect puzzle game on Nintendo Switch to enjoy both solo and with a partner, offering very entertaining and complex challenges by playing with physics and structures so you can experience the brilliance of the Tomorrow Corporation universe.

    A moving and very brief audiovisual experience that stands out for its unique art and wordless narrative, deeply connecting with players through the beauty of everyday life.

    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.

    Cronos: The New Dawn is a solid choice for survival horror fans, combining classic elements with fresh mechanics and a genuinely terrifying atmosphere. Although the Nintendo Switch 2 version has some visual downgrades and minor technical issues, the overall experience remains intense, immersive, and enjoyable, especially thanks to Mouse Mode controls and gyroscopic aiming.
    • 75 Metascore

    It successfully updates its original formula, offering a visually appealing and fun-to-play experience with mouse mode, although it still has some technical issues to polish before becoming a perfect adaptation on Nintendo Switch 2.

    An original and casual cooperative game that makes great use of Nintendo Switch’s multiplayer essence. While it doesn’t reach the brilliance of similar Nintendo titles, it offers fun and accessible mechanics that make it an attractive, hassle-free option for playing together.

    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.

    Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is one of the most mature stories Nintendo has ever created. Its impeccable narrative and graphics may be hindered by classic gameplay that hasn’t aged particularly well, but if you can look beyond that, it becomes an incredibly gripping and thrilling journey.

    A game as entertaining as it is lacking in content. The fun of its combat and the possibilities of exploration clash directly with the repetitive and unvaried that are many aspects of this title.

    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.

    Short yet intense. Bubble Ghost Remake is unforgiving, yet each small victory feels incredibly rewarding. A true love letter to retro gaming, perfect for players who enjoy a real challenge.

    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.
