    A unique experience in video games and a colossal expansion of what we knew in Breath of the Wild, with some moments that will leave you speechless and make you lose yourself in its world without even realizing it.

    Hades II is an exceptional roguelike that perfects its predecessor’s formula with frenetic combat, greater variety, and outstanding art direction. While it offers a solid adaptation on Nintendo Switch, we miss having more graphic options on Nintendo Switch 2. Nevertheless, its addictive gameplay makes it an indie must-have on Nintendo’s platform.

    Metroid Prime Remastered is an exceptional game, impressive at all levels and the living proof that the series can be taken much further than its two-dimensional adventures. Somewhat uneven, but visually outstanding, its controls are superbly adapted to the Nintendo Switch, setting a precedent for the series.

    Persona 5 Royal is without any doubt one of the best and most complete JRPGs on Nintendo Switch, with a correct optimization and performance. It would be good to improve the image resolution sometimes, but this detail does not diminish the quality of this masterful adventure.

    Although the Power-Ups and bosses may not be the best part of this Super Mario Bros game, the desire to constantly surprise the player and an excellent and smooth gameplay system make it one of the best 2D platformers in history.

    Donkey Kong Bananza is the comeback the series needed, offering a fresh, fun, and spectacular audiovisual experience. Minor technical shortcomings don’t overshadow the return of a franchise that Nintendo has successfully reinvented, delivering an essential adventure for Nintendo Switch 2 and becoming its first absolute system-seller.

    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.

    Capcom has recaptured the essence of classic horror without giving up on action, and it’s brought it to Nintendo Switch 2 with an ambition you can really feel. It may not be the prettiest version, but it’s the most versatile and comfortable, and it proves the console is ready for the generation’s biggest releases.

    Square Enix has achieved what once seemed impossible: bringing the full Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade experience to a portable console without sacrificing what truly matters. It is the most visually impressive game on Switch 2 and an unforgettable gateway to one of the most acclaimed RPGs of the last decade.

    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.

    The third installment of Xenoblade becomes the best of the series. It evolves its gameplay, offering a complex and very entertaining JRPG that encourages us to explore its huge world. Its story is sublime and the irregularities in the quality of its animations and sound effects are the only things we can blame about the game as its downsides.

    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.

    Split Fiction is one of the most outstanding cooperative games we’ve enjoyed. It combines a mature and well-structured narrative, sharp humor, dynamic gameplay that never ceases to amaze, and technical aspects that subtly showcase the potential of the new console.

    A unique metroidvania with plenty of action, smooth combat, and fun, addictive exploration. Returning to the roots of Prince of Persia has resulted in one of the best games in the series.

    TUNIC surprises by bringing back what we love most about The Legend of Zelda and wraps it with an ingenious puzzle that will make us feel that we are in front of the great classic adventure games.

    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.

    13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is an unmissable game in the Nintendo Switch games lineup. Although it does not introduce new content in this version, the game is worth just for the fact of being able to be played on handheld mode. An unrepeatable gem that you have to try if you like science fiction stories or the adventure genre.

    Nintendo gives a sublime treatment to the remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch, adding and improving features to make the gameplay smoother than ever. The balanced combat system and brilliant exploration make it one of the best RPG games on Nintendo Switch.

    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.

    The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe has played well with our expectations, creating a meta-narrative that goes beyond and expands on what the original instalment wanted to do in an absurd but masterful way. The less you know about it before you play it, the better.

    Nintendo has grown and evolved the Pikmin franchise to become one of their best franchises with Pikmin 4. Excellent in terms of visuals and very accessible to all audiences, it is an entertaining, relaxing, and immersive game that will put your organizational skills into practice in a hyper-realistic and charming world.

    Two masterful Super Mario games remastered in a way as simple as it is effective. This update to Mario’s space adventures is a constant display of imagination that manages to mask the passage of time and offers games that set the benchmark among 3D platformers.

    This new TMNT game stands out for being an artistic explosion with detailed pixel art and a good amount of nods for the most nostalgic. Its gameplay feels very smooth both on local and online multiplayer.

    A challenging and fun musical RPG title that anyone can enjoy, but fans of the Final Fantasy saga and its soundtracks will love. Loading times are a bit frequent on Nintendo Switch, although we think it's the best platform to enjoy the game due to its portability.

    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.

    A remaster that knows exactly what it’s doing and who it’s for. Fans of the original game will find enough improvements and new features here to justify returning to explore Ivalice, while newcomers who’ve never experienced the title now have the best possible opportunity to discover one of the greatest benchmarks in the tactical genre.

    Nintendo Switch welcomes Xenoblade Chronicles X, the missing piece of the saga. An immense open world where you can lose yourself for hundreds of hours and enjoy an intense science fiction story that hooks you from the very first moment.

    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. Although the technical performance shows slight limitations in docked mode compared to handheld mode, this doesn’t overshadow an overall experience that remains remarkable.

    Mario Kart World is pure fun: thrilling races, a relaxing open world, innovative mechanics, and impeccable multiplayer—though it’s slightly disappointing that local matches with more than three players drop to 30fps. Nintendo has perfectly balanced the classic and the new, crafting a complete, addictive, and accessible experience that’ll delight both veterans and newcomers to the series.
