Decline's Drop is a great action platformer that shows how an idea can emerge from a desire to want more of something. Decline's Drop is much more than something inspired by Super Smash Bros; it's a beautiful creation of art and sound, with combat that has its own hand-drawn style, all from the mind of its creator.- Universo Nintendo

Citadelum is an excellent city-building and management game set in ancient Rome, featuring an intelligent building system, clear objectives, an intuitive menu, and campaigns that simulate Rome’s historical events. A few issues, such as rough autosaving and basic battle sections, do occur, but they do not spoil the overall experience.- Universo Nintendo

FUR Squadron Phoenix is a roguelite sequel to the indie game FUR Squadron. Heavily inspired by Star Fox, the game features spaceship mechanics with procedurally generated environments and various upgrades. It only falls short in some missing elements, such as multiplayer and checkpoints.- Universo Nintendo

Damon and Baby is a dungeon crawler with a curious story and well-made gameplay. Despite its quality, it falls short in its Roguelite aspects, in addition to the co-op that doesn't work very well. Overall, it's a very creative product.- Universo Nintendo

The Disney Afternoon Collection arrives on the Switch and also brings two new titles not present in the original collection previously released on other platforms: Bonkers and Goof Troop.

The DX version of Sigma Star Saga is an excellent shmup with RPG elements, imbued with a nice and mature story that grants a dark atmosphere like those seen in Metroid Fusion and MGS Ghost Babel. Despite that, more in-game extras and a better rebalance of the experience system, since the random encounters were reduced, would make a huge difference.- Universo Nintendo

With well-implemented mechanics and a gradual difficulty curve that blends combat and platforming in a challenging yet fair way, along with enjoyable exploration and a story that does, in fact, fit the series, Legacy of Kain: Ascendance is not without major flaws: besides being short, it features repetitive enemies and environments, and it does not allow players to skip dialogue when revisiting stages for further exploration. That said, it is a competent 2D game for fans of the genre and a solid addition to the beloved series.- Universo Nintendo

Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers is a great game, almost on the level of Streets of Rage 4, as a beat ’em up that stood out from others in the genre thanks to its beautiful aesthetics and deep mechanics. Sadly, it falls short due to its lack of challenge and dumb AI. Even so, if you’re looking for a beat ’em up among the titles available on Nintendo platforms, this is one of the best on the list.- Universo Nintendo

Virtua Fighter 5 arrived strong on Nintendo Switch 2. Accessible for newcomers thanks to its simple three-button layout and still competitive for pro players thanks to its intelligent mechanics and unique characters, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is an amazing debut for the series on a Nintendo platform. With 19 years on the market, though, it missed the opportunity to offer more single-player content and more refined facial expressions and lip-sync animation, as on all other platforms. Even so, it remains one of the best fighting games on the market thanks to its mechanics and crossplay support.- Universo Nintendo

Etrange Overlord marks the first step in the indie journey of Disgaea's legendary creator. Though short, it carves out its own identity.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is a very innovative roguelike with its character moveset evolution mechanic. Besides being a treat for fans of the fighting game franchise, it's also very accessible to roguelike enthusiasts who aren't so familiar with combos, as well as more casual players. It's very addictive once you get the hang of it, and the variety of characters and styles helps a lot to avoid the simple repetition of the genre.- Universo Nintendo

A technical marvel on the Nintendo Switch 2, the game features excellent graphics, incredible lighting effects, and fast loading times. It also delivers amazing gameplay with no frame drops. Resident Evil Requiem, although somewhat short when compared to other games in the series, is extremely fun, challenging in the right measure (being even more accessible than other titles in the franchise) and full of secrets and easter eggs. Whether you’re a fan of the series or not, this is a must-play for anyone who owns a Nintendo Switch 2.- Universo Nintendo

Trails Beyond the Horizon can be described as a new start inside the current Calvard arc and, at the same time, a synthesis of the series up to this moment. The story is certainly something fans will love it, as well as the interactions between the teams. The combat system showcases new systems and it’s very dynamic. However, the title also shows Falcom’s quirks that we accepted as part of the series formula and that should have been polished a long time ago.- Universo Nintendo

Assassin's Creed Shadows on the Nintendo Switch 2 is a technical marvel that showcases the potential of the new hardware. While visual trade-offs are evident – such as the removal of Ray Tracing and lower foliage density – the use of DLSS and VRR ensures a solid and engaging handheld experience. The dual-protagonist system (Naoe and Yasuke) brings much-needed variety to the gameplay. However, the docked mode still suffers from inconsistent frame-pacing and needs further patching. Overall, it is a must-play for fans of the genre who prioritize portability without sacrificing the core content of a massive current-gen RPG.- Universo Nintendo

Dynasty Warriors Origins marks a spectacular return to form for the series, perfectly leveraging the Switch 2 hardware to deliver massive, fluid battles without compromising performance. By shifting focus toward a more tactical, personal narrative with its "Nameless Hero" and a dynamic, high-energy soundtrack, the game breathes new life into the Three Kingdoms saga. It is a must-play for action fans and a technical showcase for Nintendo’s new era.- Universo Nintendo

Terminator 2D: NO FATE is a beautiful pixel-art homage that moves away from the traditional movie-licensed game formula and brings a more indie-inspired style to the classic portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fast, nostalgic, and frenetic, the game falls short of delivering a deeper and longer-lasting experience to the classic, even while offering alternative endings.- Universo Nintendo

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond didn’t revolutionize the series the same way the first Metroid Prime did. It introduces new ideas, but doesn’t fully explore their potential. That being said, this new first-person action-adventure starring Samus Aran is a worthy entry in the Metroid universe, featuring the most challenging and engaging battles in the Prime series, an epic narrative with memorable boss fights, charismatic characters, and a more fluid exploration experience (backtracking included) than its predecessors. Add to that beautifully crafted graphics and arguably one of the best original soundtracks the Prime series has ever offered.- Universo Nintendo

Just Dance 2026 Edition on Nintendo Switch is a lively, polished and inclusive party game with a strong new Party Mode and a fun, contemporary tracklist, but it leans heavily on its subscription library and changes little at its core – great if you’re returning after skipping a few years, more optional if you already own the recent entries.- Universo Nintendo

Star Wars Outlaws is an amazing port and yet another proof that next-gen ports are far superior to what we got on the Switch 1.

The game features a dense and vibrant world full of activities, borrowing well-executed elements from series like Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid. It’s a standout title on the Nintendo Switch 2 and an incredible experience for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.- Universo Nintendo

A sequel to a game that nobody remembered, Beyond the Ice Palace II is a welcome new addition to the 2D platform indie metroidvania library, with great action and puzzle mechanics, an amazing atmosphere, and outstanding music. It's a bit too short, has some bugs, but nothing that ruins the fun experience.- Universo Nintendo

While respecting the original work, the remastered version of SaGa Frontier 2 brings extra content to the table, revamped graphics, and a native widescreen resolution with the option to speed up battles and exploration. Unfortunately, those who don't speak English or Japanese won't be able to understand the story.- Universo Nintendo

This is definitely a game done with passion by the team, with a classic approach on the fighting genre mixed with modern aspects to bring young players to the ring, packed with many extras modes and unlockables. That said, the constant slowdowns, hit detection that needs polishing and some bug crashing game hinders the fun on the Nintendo Switch platform. Let's hope a patch will correct all this in the near future.- Universo Nintendo

Ever 17- The Out of Infinity delivers a remaster of the 2011 remake rather than the 2000 original. Though its modernization efforts may divide fans, the story remains rich in twists and turns and retains its compelling characters—keeping the journey engaging enough to justify a playthrough. That said, I’d still recommend supplementing it with the original for full context.- Universo Nintendo

Revisiting Yakuza Kiwami and being able to play anywhere is really fun. The graphics are amazing, the price is accessible and Kiwami extras guarantee tons of beating up fun in this high atmospheric game, even with occasional slowdowns here and there. A must buy for Switch owners.- Universo Nintendo

Caravan SandWitch is an enjoyable, unhurried journey, which is a bit at odds with the main plot. Exploration and puzzle solving are great for relaxing. Unfortunately, the optimization in the console version leaves something to be desired and may frustrate some players. I'm looking forward to seeing this team's next work.- Universo Nintendo

This port is an amazing comeback of one of the greatest counterparts for The King of Fighters in the Neo Geo era. It has many interesting extras, achievements to enrich the single-player experience and, although it could have some balance against bosses and less long loading screens to access modes, this is a great port to have on Switch if you are a fighting game enthusiast.- Universo Nintendo

Stray is a faithful and well-made port, with beautiful graphics and few (almost imperceptive) texture issues. If you didn’t play the game with the most beloved cat in the world of gaming, the Switch can be an excellent place to start, especially because you can play it anywhere.- Universo Nintendo

Loddlenaut was a pleasant surprise. Although brief, the experience in GUP-14 is extremely sensorially pleasant, and deals with an extremely serious and present theme, which is environmental preservation, in a light and calm way, with many cute little alien monsters to be found and cataloged.- Universo Nintendo

Vengeance is the definitive version of SMT V, however, it will not change the opinion of those that bounced off from the original. Those who loved it will find a considerable amount of new content to justify the new purchase. Those that had a mid experience with the original might want to give this a chance when the opportunity comes.- Universo Nintendo

Princess Peach: Showtime! is a quick, easy, and direct game. It's a fantastic introduction to platformers, with great graphics and minimal difficulty. Enjoy the surprisingly varied gameplay in this short game, assuming you don't mind it being this short.- Universo Nintendo

Between customizing your squads from behavior to strategies and the real time aspect of the battle with skills and terrain, Unicorn Overlord is an incredible strategy title that makes it viable and an incredible freedom for the player to choose how to create and command their own army. UO will be remembered as one of the best in the genre and of Vanillaware, no doubt.- Universo Nintendo

All Things Wicked, the new chapter from Dead by Daylight, has become my new favorite original chapter. Along with a formidable survivor with an original mechanic and rich lore, it also brings a terrifying killer with a variety of playstyles and an exquisitely made new map. Though there are a few disappointing perks, this is overall the greatest original chapter that Behaviour has created, and I sincerely hope there will be more chapters that tie in with previous ones.- Universo Nintendo

For fans of the series, the collection is an excellent opportunity to revive classic titles and with a considerable amount of content that can keep them busy for a long while. For those that don’t share the nostalgia, the collection has four racing games that are very good, but also need a lot of practice and patience to be enjoyed.- Universo Nintendo

Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal is a game that's different from almost everything else in the Switch library. If you like stealth games with a lot of violence and room for creativity, the dinner is served, even if it is a little dated. Especially at this price, put the kids to sleep and have fun.- Universo Nintendo

Mario vs. Donkey Kong has surprised me with the loads of content that the game offers, in addition to the complexity of some puzzles - despite some stages being quite alike across the worlds. Either way, the fun factor here is granted, especially if you have someone to tag along with.- Universo Nintendo

Two amazing CING games comeback in an interesting reimagining with astonishing art direction and graphics, the amazing and full of plot twists story from Rika Suzuki with new direction and, although not innovative as the DS/Wii were, still fun and intuitive gameplay. Already played the DS/Wii version? No worries, the new puzzles and direction makes for a new and interesting experience.- Universo Nintendo
