Mulaka does a beautiful job with his unique art style combined with a light soundtrack and its rich environments in color, landscaping and creatures.

If you like this style of game, it's time to upgrade your Nintendo library. Start with this adventure game and 3D platform.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord is, like the other two games with the name of the franchise from Square Enix RPG for WiiWare, one of the best deals of the virtual platform for original games for the Wii. With a perfect interface, excellent graphics and a attractive soundtrack, the game has worked tirelessly to bring, of the best possible form, to players its interesting and innovative proposal of strategy RPG that is its reason for being. The linearity of gameplay can be considered a problem to the game, because, with it, you lose the charm of the open world of My Life as a King. Still, My Life as a Darklord is extremely addictive, and can leave a taste of "want more" - that probably will be satisfied by Square Enix and its policy of launching countless DLCs.

Detention goes beyond what you would normally expect from a horror game: it’s deep, smart and creative.

Trails To Azure, alongside Trails from Zero, are two of the best turn based RPGs that I ever played and thanks to its great narrative and characters, both titles create an adventure that it’s truly unforgettable. Both titles are a slow burn, carefully constructing its narrative and the payoff makes it truly worthwhile.

Octopath Traveler II is one of the most complete JRPGs with different combined endings that I've ever come across. Besides its agile and easy-to-understand combat system, the world exploration and different abilities of the 8 available characters are the peaks of this sequence, which doesn't require that you've played its predecessor.

It still carries some of the original’s drawbacks, such as unnecessary dialogues that drag the game on too long, but it remains a fun, modern title and a great addition to the Switch 2 library.

Tunche managed to evaluate all the proposals he proposed. He is as challenging as any roguelike and keeps up the pace of the fight as a beat ‘em up.

Heaven Dust 2 is a nugget for those who love survival horror games. A clear homage to Resident Evil, it doesn't shame itself in its way to make you feel the same way as if you were playing the games of the classical series, even through an isometric point of view.

Kudos to Microsoft for enabling a wider audience to engage with the artistry it offers.

VASARA Collection is an amazing SHMUP and it went far beyond my expectations. I already consider it an essential game on Switch for those who like the genre, those who like games-to-pass-the-time and for those who want something to play on the go. A game previously unknown to me, but found a place in my heart thanks to the great work of QUByte.

Lil Gator Game: Gator of the Year Edition is pure childhood charm bottled into a video game. Bundling the base game with the In the Dark DLC, it offers dozens of customization options and total freedom to explore at your own pace. What awaits is hours of imagination, make-believe, and that warm childhood feeling.

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.

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.

One of the most complex RPGs of the recent times, and still manages to maintain the simplicity in the narrative and gameplay.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is one of those excellent Nintendo Switch conversions. Its artwork, along with the soundtrack and sound effects, transport the player to the fantastic universe of the Z Fighters and gives them freedom to experience it outside of combat through a fun gameplay. In the end, Kakarot is a gift to longtime Dragon Ball fans and an excellent first entry to anyone willing to meet the franchise.

It is a must-play for action fans and a technical showcase for Nintendo’s new era.

Limits on investigation and the notable absence of some cherish characters are boring details, but, by the time you reach the last case, you'll notice that they are just that: details.

Beautiful, fun, ingenious and unique.

The most important thing is: Pikmin is worth playing. It's simply indispensable in any fan collection and a sample of the different way Nintendo makes its games. On the other hand, if you've already played it fully on GameCube, maybe the new version is dispensable

A game of discoveries and rediscoveries.

Longtime fans of gorilla that waited patiently for a return of the acclaimed series Country can get excited, because Returns is very worthy of its title.

With several different endings and a plethora of items to interact with, One Night Stand is a nice surprise. The 12 possible endings are different enough to give a sense of accomplishment, and although the game could be longer, it is one of the best Visual Novels I've ever played, from the script to music, from the art to the attention to details.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy brings three excellent classics from Capcom to the Switch and the games are highly recommended to those that have yet to play the series. The port itself could bring some improvements, therefore, long time fans might only be interested in this due to the convenience of replaying those classics in a modern platform.

Vicarious Vision’s love for this franchise is clear throughout each tour of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2. Controls are precise, gameplay is addicting, there is plenty of content and really well designed levels are complemented by a wonderful soundtrack. It’s only such a shame that the Switch version does not hit the performance targeted by the series for almost two decades now.

SMTV brought everything I expected from a new chapter in the series of one of the first RPG games made, always renewing and innovating. We have an adventure that will make you stay for more than 40 hours hoping it doesn't end. It's really a great must-have for SMT fans and highly recommended for any RPG fan.

Attack on Titan 2 is a great game for the Nintendo Switch.

Mega Man X Legacy Collection is a collection of excellent games. Veterans will relive some of the best adventures of Mega Man, while newcomers will come to know why this series became so important in the history of this industry. Those are obligatory games to anyone that likes platforming games.

Kirby Star Allies makes the simplicity of smiling a lasting thing. The game is beautiful and has music that impresses by it's quality. The title is very amusing and if you can join three more friends, you will have one of the funniest experiences on the Nintendo Switch. It is an experience that should be appreciated in its entirety.

Salt & Sanctuary is great in many aspects, with very few weaknesses such as dialogue and story. The game is excellent and it utilizes its references well, delivering a competent game.

The fact is that Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World evolves in some aspects, while stops or even goes back in others. Even so, it doesn't mean it isn't a good game, although it's not as "epic" as the first one. The ones who played the original Tales of Symphonia will see that Dawn of the New World is a new and beautiful adventure, but not as good as the other. And the ones who didn't play it will enjoy the charming characters and the excellent battle system.

The Mario Kart of shooters is born.

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.

Singular gameplay, original art style, very well designed levels, amiibo, multiplayer, memorable soundtrack and a huge number of collectables. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a must.

Diablo 3: Eternal Collection is an excellent RPG that, allied with the Switch portability, results in a perfect combination to enjoy the game’s almost limitless content.

For fans of the original version, perhaps the epilogue alone isn't enough to justify the price, but for those who don't know the original, this is the best moment to discover this amazing RPG.

If you're willing to put up countless hours to learn, Xenoblade Chronicles X becomes one of the most rewarding experiences on the Wii U.

It's the long awaited final episode, that resurged after many had lost hope. Sometimes, yes, life can be fair. Plaudite, acta est fabula.

Red Steel 2 is a high quality title from a third-party developer and all fans of the console should support it.

Kaze and The Wild Masks takes us back to the classic 90s games, such as Donkey kong, Crash Bandicoot and many other platform games. With great animations and a fun gameplay, this title must be on the list of those who love this type of game.

Without a doubt, Majora's Mask 3D is the definitive version of the acclaimed title.

Edgeworth's personality spreads in many different parts of the plot showing the insight of a prosecutor at a crime scene and his cool temperament, paradoxically, is far from cool action, providing, through Rebuttals, the security needs for someone who fears the absence of courts and the ("almost?") total absence of Wright.

Exodemon goes beyond its original objective of paying homage to retro FPS games, being able to be at the shelf with them. Its gameplay is faithful to its source at the same time that it manages to not feel outdated.

Required title for anyone who played the first Outlast or who just loves Survivor Horror.

30XX is an incredible action rogue-lite, with beautiful, ever-changing environments. It's a treat for fans of the blue bombing franchise. Fun, fast, precise and with several game modes, this is certainly one of the best games released this year.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is one of those games that can quickly put a smile on the player's face. Perhaps the reason for this is because it reminds us of some of the reasons that led - and still do - many of us to love videogames. Addictive gameplay, incredible soundtrack and charismatic characters. Yes, he is inspired by The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, Castelvania and Metroid, but has his own charisma and charm and is very competent in what he proposes to do.

The "Denpa" Men: They Came By Wave is a good example of the best of the eShop.

Yes, the new 2D adventure is not a demonstration of Wii U's potential, but it's extremely competent as a plataformer, adding some elements that probably will accompany the series in the future and making, though perhaps unconsciously with its final boss, the eyes of players sparkle and give us a taste of what to expect of Mario in its next tridimensional adventure.

Huntdown is a 2D shoot'em up that balances challenge and fun, with precise gameplay, a captivating soundtrack, and impeccable 16-bit art. Despite the short duration, the game brings an incredible experience being a mandatory title for lovers of 2D action games.

Fire Emblem Three Houses is one of Switch's best games of 2019 and a breeze of fresh air to this franchise. Unfortunately, its poor animations preclude any possibility of being the game of the year.

The second fighting collection (not counting the Street Fighter 30 Anniversary and Marvel vs Capcom collection) includes 3D fighting games from Capcom as well as 2D classics like CvS 1 / 2 and the Upper version of Street Fighter Alpha 3. It has some missing opportunities, like the content from PSP version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 and the inclusion of Rival Schools (since Project Justice, it's sequel, is in this collection), but the game comes with a lot of extras, intuitive menus, and hidden characters. A great addition to the collection for Fighting Gaming addicts.

Kirby Mass Attack is ingenious, overflowing with creativity and content, and able to hold the attention of hardcores and casuals alike. Consistant and surprising at every corner, this last Kirby DS adventure goes out with a bang.

Mirai DX is one of the best rhythm games on the 3DS.

Kirby Triple Deluxe is an improvement of the series' design, and also of other series' elements.

Castlevania: The Anniversary Collection is an excellent package for veterans and beginners alike and the chosen games represent really well the beginnings of this great series.

Playing Mega Man 9 is such a nice experience, especially for the ones who had the opportunity to play the classic series. It won't be a surprise to see this game on top of WiiWare sales.

Quotation forthcoming.

If Monster Hunter Rise was (for me) the best Switch game of last year, the Sunbreak expansion brings enough additions to breathe fresh air into the game, with new monsters, new maps, new abilities, new ranks, and the promise of adding hundreds of hours to your hunting time.

Compared to other versions, Mega Mix is lacking in content, however, the portability makes it an attractive proposition even to those that have access to the other versions. When compared to other rhythm games on the Switch, Mega Mix has an enormous setlist and an amazing gameplay, making this one of the best rhythm games on the console.

Bit.Trip Runner is unique in every way. It's a game that combines platforming and rhythm, with great old-school graphics and sounds. And it's addictive in the same way the old Arcade classics are: based on the player's belief that he can play better the next time.

Boom Blox Bash Party isn't an ambitious game or that want to be a blockbuster. However, the fertility of new options managed to give new life to the original ideas, which themselves were already very rich. A concept that didn't get old with one year. Bash Party is a example of how to do a sequel: improving and expanding the original proposals, but never, in any moment, to do the brightness of the original game fade.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a true piece of art and very well done in a way that we can understand the relationships between the Zelda family, the champions and Link in facing this war against Calamity Ganon. Even those who are not familiar with the genre, I believe that this game is an invitation and takes the Warriors franchise to another level easily.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster brought QoL improvements that make the game a lot better, but even so, it doesn’t cover all the flaws the classic had due to its variety of menus to support all the complex game mechanics. But it’s undeniable that, after going through the hardship of the start of the game, what awaits the player is a fun, challenging, incredibly addictive first-person survival horror in all aspects, from the history and atmosphere to its action, providing many hours of fun.

The brand new Kirby's 3D adventure is a spectacular iteration of the franchise.
