Next Up Hero manages to introduce intriguing, innovative ideas, but at the cost of executing the core gameplay mechanic well.

Fallout Shelter isn't the introduction to the series Nintendo fans deserve. It's a rather mediocre freemium game, and Bethesda would likely have been better served getting a main series game out on Switch first.

Though the core experience functions as intended, Mecha Storm doesn't do enough to distances itself from its mobile release and ends up falling flat on the Nintendo Switch.

Repetitive track design, some of the worst graphics I've seen for a Nintendo Switch game and very lacklustre AI results in an extremely unfulfilling experience with Drone Fight; may leave a nasty taste.

If you're a fan of visual novels, romance, middle-aged men and a surprisingly realistic look at adult life then don't hesitate to try out Pub Encounter.

Manual Samuel is a fun but irritating experience, and that's the point. A patience test that literally makes it difficult to put one foot in front of the other, its charming cartoon graphics and hilarious narrator contrast nicely with the gameplay, and it changes things up just enough to keep you entertained to the end.

Gunbird 2 is no better or worse than the first title, it's just more of the same. If that's acceptable to you, you'll be getting a great little shmup that'll keep you entertained for a good few hours.

The Inner World has the potential to be a great adventure title, but unfortunately the use interface is a bit too confusing to provide a worthwhile experience.

At a first glance, Crossing Souls is one of the most impressive indie games of the year thanks to its superb art style. Unfortunately, some nasty bugs and annoying platforming section takes away some of its charm.

Road to Ballhalla is challenging yet rewarding title that matched puzzles with rhythm to create a unique experience.

Aqua Moto Racing Utopia is a solid and fun, if unspectacular title. Hunt down the physical copy if you must, but it won’t break the bank on the eShop.

Paladins is a fun shooter, and encourages long-term play with its unlockables and level-up progressions. It loses to Fortnite in the addictiveness stakes, though, and isn't helped by a less-than-seamless matchmaking system.

Small, dark and not very handsome, Paranautical Activity is a disappointment. Lame weapons, poor controls and a lack of personality nip this one in the bud.

It's Spring Again is - to put it bluntly - a thorough disappointment. It lacks content, accessibility and replay value, and its basic and repetitive graphics are enough to haunt any child's nightmares. For a game that is based on a popular children's puppet show, so much more could have been done to make it a truly informative and educational experience that players of all ages, abilities and backgrounds could enjoy. The only merit it does have is that it conveys some basic facts about the changing of the seasons - and even this knowledge could be better found elsewhere.

Runbow is a frantic platformer with a twist. With tons of funny multiplayer modes, it is a very funny party-like experience, even though its single player counterpart is a little pale in comparison.

Pirates: All Aboard! is light on content and doesn't carry enough of a personality to be a recommendable package. Other than in its dirt cheap form in the eShop sale, that is.

Freedom Planet isn't shy about its influences, but what new spins it does add to the tried-and-tested formula is enough to keep it interesting - providing you haven't already played it.

Save the Ninja Clan is a great title for fans of hardcore platforming, with three different worlds, boss battles and the option to alter the game speed to suit your playing needs you should be able to find the right balance. Just be aware the difficulty curve is very steep and can cause frustration right from the outset!

Hungry Shark World is a noticeable step above its mobile ancestor, with improved controls across the board. Sadly, a few technical hiccups and a distinct lack of depth hold it back significantly.

The four games contained in Mega Man X Legacy Collection are arguably some of the strongest in existence. Whilst there's little to differentiate the first three titles, you owe it to yourself to experience them at least once.

1979 Revolution Black Friday is uniquely educational, but from a gameplay perspective it can't compete with a modern Telltale release. There's nothing wrong with that if you're jumping in to experience the story, though the performance makes for a weak port.

Flipping Death is a truly unique experience. Boasting beautiful art design, stellar voice work and gameplay like no other, it's a game that will have you in fits of laughter. If only it lasted just a bit longer.

2064: Read Only Memories INTEGRAL uses the formula and style of an old school adventure game to tell a narrative about a cyberpunk future. By doing that, it delivers a very interesting narrative, despite some minor flaws.

Assault Gunners HD Edition just misses the mark on being a good title. What should be a title full of thrilling mech actions ends up being dead weight.

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 is a hard game to honestly recommend. The games range from good to downright terrible, but the inclusion of Challenge X mode and a plethora of artwork to admire makes it a compilation worth looking into.

Iconoclasts is a fun, but difficult platformer with a great cast of characters, brilliant controls and a fantastic soundtrack that is let down by a story with little direction.

Blade Strangers is full of character, style and impressive visuals all while delivering a solid fighting videogame experience with some of the most accessible controls going. Play it now!

Bad North not only manages to bring the RTS genre to the consoles, but it does that in a surprisingly good way thanks to its minimalist philosophy and rewarding tactical combat system.
