Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Destiny Remastered is the prettier version of the PS Vita game, but without significant additions that does the job of attracting more than just fans of the series. In addition, there are very missed opportunities as a local co-op, since the gameplay is very repetitive.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a fun game that mixes platforming and mechanics reminiscent of the Soulslike genre, in terms of combat and attacks. However, the gameplay loop relies too heavily on repetition and ends up being tedious, as does the Switch 2 port, which leaves much to be desired in several aspects.

Simplistic in the visuals, but with an addictive goal and well designed, even with the limitations of this WiiWare version, it is worth taking a chance on this success of Firemint, if you cannot play it on another system.

Commandos 3 is the living proof that an old game, when done with care and balance, retains its fun even after 19 years of its release. I would be lying if I say I didn't immerse myself again and had a lot of fun with the HD Remaster, but sadly, the immense quantity of bugs and game breaking quickloads that comes with full price make it hard to give a high score, especially when you have Commandos 2 HD, a more complete package. But, if you wanna try, it's still Commandos with its addictive gameplay and personality.

There is fun in the package, although Wario has had more inspiration and creativity in his previous investments.

Diddy Kong Racing DS is a good alternative to Mario Kart DS. However, even with all new features, it's not as great as the 64 version.

To long-time fans, the game may sound like a bucket of cold water. The lack of options is glaring. But if you're in the Olympic mood, or don't have an open pocket for a reasonably better game at $60, Tokyo 2020 is the right option for you. It can easily yield hours of fun, and is an excellent souvenir of the Olympics. It's the typical game that you swear you don't want to touch anymore, but you end up picking it up again and again anyway, it's so relaxing and fun it is, as if there's always something new in the background (even if there isn't).

If Bubble Bobble Plus! is great and Rainbow Islands: Towering Adventure! is horrible, Bust-a-More Plus! lies in the middle of them. Unlike the first one, it doesn't have a classic mode. It also fails because it doesn't have an online battle mode, which would bust the "replay factor" on many points.

Like the game's focus, the realism on the graphics could only be great, and are. For a WiiWare game, the textures are extremely detailed and, in addition to the great sound effects and fish movements, it creates an atmosphere like the one promised.

Afterpulse is a good shooter that provides casual fun for many hours, but that's it. The game feels very generic as it doesn't build a narrative and is really lookalike to military games like PUGB without any novelties, making it hard to be attached. Graphics are also not impressive and are very similar to the mobile version, making it look a bit lackluster on Switch.

Its presentation is good, but its shallow gameplay is boring. Apparently, even the dev team knew that, as they decided to cover up the mess with fake RPG elements.

In the end, Link's Awakening on Switch is like a roller coaster transitioning between dream and nightmare. A timeless design that received a fantastic aesthetic update and neat quality of life enhancements, but prevents the user from advancing on their own, has grave performance problems and an abusive pricing point. I'm very saddened to say that, as an unconditional fan of the series, I cannot recommend this game to most players.

Senran Kagura Peach Ball has a strong base for a Pinball title, however, it’s short amount of content makes it hard to recommend unless it’s cheap.

This is one of those games from the 90s that used to work better at the time. Nowadays, there are so many superior products that the only reason to revisit this kind of remaster it pure nostalgia since the game itself doesn't to anything exceptionally.

NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS is the newest entry in the Storm series. Still, I really started missing the old-school times of Naruto in which we'd have more innovative ideas in the franchise, such as a world to explore in the best Yakuza-style from SEGA.

Tomba! 2 Special Edition is a good revisit to the past, as the game has aged well to some extent even with its outdated 3D and bizarre cameras. However, when it comes to emulation, the package is indebted and ends up being too expensive for what it offers.

It's a pity that Moco Moco Friends shows some potential, but ends up being just average.

Gnomz is a an excellent game for a meeting with friends, but does not convince otherwise.

People of Note has a great story about a world that breathes music, but it lacked a better application of the theme in combat: it's much more challenging for the player and easier for the opponents. It's not difficult, but it loses a lot of dynamism because of this, and ends up feeling more like chess than an RPG. Despite everything, its plot and script are quite fun, as is its soundtrack.

The game is an opportunity to uncover one of the most unique Disney games. However, the core mechanics get repetitive really fast and are badly executed, not to mention the performance and resolution on the Switch that leave to be desired.

The most obvious thing to say here is to play the GameCube version instead of this and enjoy everything Tomb Raider: Legend has to offer. The experience will be much greater and much less frustrating.

For a game about fishing, the gameplay in Fishing Resort is a little bit too shallow. Fortunately, the developers tried to make up for the repetitive nature of it all by adding a couple of extras and by delivering a package with a great presentation.

Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 bet on a formula that works, but not yet reached its peak in the Nintendo 3DS.

Never 7: The End of Infinity is a hidden gem for Visual Novel fans—even if it shows its age, it pioneered elements now considered staples of the genre, boasting an intriguing story and richly developed characters. That said, the recent remaster falls short, with a dated presentation and technical shortcomings that significantly undermine the experience.

Grill-Off with Ultra Hand! is what it is: a simple minigame in the form of a WiiWare game.

Attack of the Friday Monsters is an option to relax and appreciate an innocent, fanciful childhood of a Japanese kid.

Fun games that respect their source material and tried something new, even if not entirely successful.

King of Seas is a game which uses procedural generation and is set in the interesting world of pirates. Despite its fun premise, it falls short in terms of variety and immersion.

Even without offering a reason for veteran players to return, SteamWorld Dig for Wii U is a great opportunity for those that still haven't experienced this good game from Image & Form.

Hellpoint is a satisfying sci-fi twist in the Soulslike universe, it brings an interesting setting and adds a lot of surprisingly positive mechanics to this gender. On the other hand, the Switch version is a bit lackluster as it comes with unimpressive graphics and general performance issues that compromise the experience for most players who are eager for a great Soulslike experience.

Overall, Crystal Defenders R2 is better than R1, although it maintains the technical issues. It may keep you busier due to the greater variety of unities and the higher difficulty, but nothing changes the fact they should be launched as one, like in Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Worth it for the historical aspect.

Dusk Diver 2 is a great sequel, with new elements and beautiful scenery, even with some loss of quality. A very fun action RPG full of references to nerd/otaku culture. The game, however, lacks a bit of immersion.

Where Are My Friends? is a game that made me happy playing. Anyone venturing out looking for lost friends will be pleasantly surprised.

Digging for three and a half hours may be fun, but, in the end, is just digging.

Starbites has a great premise and adds fresh layers to the oversaturated turn-based RPG market. Despite a well-written story and remarkable characters, especially the protagonist, numerous technical issues keep the game from reaching the stardom it otherwise could have. The overall experience remains very fun, though.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged innovates in some aspects in regards to its gameplay and the ability to download community tracks, but the game stays essentially the same as the previous one with no substantial addition - besides the flawed community tracks that don't allow play against bots.

A great 2D Dungeon Crawl with a lot of potential but some improvements and corrections are missing. Especially in online mode.

The charm of Weapon Shop de Omasse is truly what saves the game from mediocrity, keeping the experience interesting even hours after its core mechanic reached its full potential.

Fans should download it. The one who doesn't know the genre, it up to you. If you don't fit either profile, leave it, because there are more and better platform games on the Virtual Console for a lower price.

SkateBIRD has fun gameplay, responsive controls and excellent art, with an emphasis on the soundtrack and character creation, but it has some technical issues and a campaign sometimes tedious and with tiring missions that end up overshadowing what the game's full potential has to offer.

Karma City Police is a very interesting and creative narrative adventure in many ways, but its gameplay lacks polish. It succeeds in conveying its story, but it loses immersion because of it.

Concept Destruction offers fun disputes involving battery powered cardboard carts, in which your objective is, literally, to crush and avoid being crushed by your opponents. The game has a great soundtrack, good gameplay, themed scenarios with cardboard structures, and customizable vehicles.

The Rogue: Prince of Persia is a Roguelike game with several characteristics of the franchise, but it lacks a stronger identity. In the end, it feels like a platform Roguelike that reuses assets as much as possible.

Lost in Harmony is a full-fledged game for fans of music games with several well-known tracks within its soundtrack, but it's still a mobile game that was ported to the Nintendo Switch, with some inaccuracies in controls and little campaigns that have low replay factor, few unlockables and short duration.

Fox n Forests has good ideas and can really be fun if you can get into the idea it proposes.

Shadow Bug is an intelligent game with very good songs. The art is beautiful, and, despite being a short game, it's well done. Unfortunately, the controls aren't good enough. A motion control sensitivity's update and display arrows on touch screen could be more interesting.

I can't help but say that this is an emulated version of this classic title more than anything else. I love the fact that we got extra features; however, the game's terrible framerate and the super-lazy-applied technique to smooth the visuals are extremely deceiving, which ended up causing a melting effect in backgrounds. Square Enix should've handled this more respectfully.

Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires had everything to correct the main issues from the non-Empires version, however, it has not only failed at that but also managed to come packed with new issues. Whether you are a musou or a Dynasty Warriors fan, there are better options available on the Nintendo Switch.

Secret Neighbor doesn't do a good job at being an asymmetrical multiplayer that kids can play. At least the Switch version looks incomplete, and to make matters worse, the game is heavily unbalanced and the maps feel repetitive. Not being able to play with friends is only another reason to at least wait until the game is more complete.

Wizard of Legend 2 is a game that works very well as a Rogue-lite experience, but it falls short in various points of accessibility, difficulty, excessive repetition, and lack of charisma.

Rising 3D Board is cheap fun. It doesn't keep anyone attached to the 3DS for more than a few minutes.

Spy Drops is a charming stealth espionage game with a nostalgic feel and concise gameplay. However, the lack of polish, poor AI behavior, and randomly generated stages that always feel the same make the game boring very quickly. It has good ideas but is poorly executed.

even with the new engine, Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate is a remake that doesn't correct its fatal flaws: easy (to boredom) gameplay and dumb AI. It has some nice ideas, like the RPG system of level up, but because of the flaws mentioned above, these mechanics are completely useless. Still a little fun to play 4 co-op to pass time, though.

From the series of "collections of old games re-released in modern times," Marvel Maximum Collection fits into the basic category. The package includes mediocre games that don't stand out in anything, for a high price and too basic features by current standards.

Worms Rumble risks trying to change the classic formula and fails in the attempt. To make matters worse, performance issues make it difficult even for fans of the style.

Puss, in essence, is a cat, in a moment he is cute and when you try to pet him he shows his nails and tries to bite you! And as much as you know what will happen, you always end up falling into the same trap.

You can see Bird Mania 3D as cheap entertainment... Or as a huge waste of time. Both points of view are valid.

Sludge Life is a first person platform game which takes place in a tiny and dirty open world. It might sound interesting, however the creators decided to focus too much on madness and crazy stuff rather than delivering a solid gameplay. The objectives are repetitive and shallow, consisting in graffiting walls and running around with no deep or meaningful task to be accomplished.

Tomb Raider I-II-III Remastered is such a gorgeous version of the three first games of the Tomb Raider saga. However, the changes in the controls were disappointing and handled with no care, besides the camera that's almost impossible to tame at some moments. In the end, the experience relies on nostalgia more than anything else.

Let's Catch purpose is good and fun, but too simple. If it weren't the 1000 Nintendo Points, it would be easily recommended, as the game mechanic works well and the multiplayer enjoys groups of friends.

This is a game that's more stress than fun. Which, for having an interesting concept that is applied in a fun way in its first levels, is a pity.

Darksiders 3 is a game with no personality in combination with mediocre gameplay and mechanics, a definitely forgettable experience. Along with the poor gaming experience, the Nintendo Switch version makes several graphical concessions that don't reflect on good performance.

With a good but poorly executed premise, BATS: Bloodsucker Anti-Terror Squad tries to be frenetic and action-packed, but ends up being frustrating and monotonous. It served very well as a parody of the action squads, but as a game it is mediocre.

Although fun in parts, Heroes of Mount Dragon squanders the opportunities to innovate within the beat 'em up category and stays in the generic realm.

With all the problems from the original game and without great additions, Towering Adventure! is a very disappointing download, on the opposite hand of Bubble Bobble Plus! (and 200 Nintendo Points more expensive than it).

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Dead by Daylight: The Walking Dead is the worst chapter BHVR has released in a while. Not because of the characters - they’re well-made, with original voices and cool interactions, plus at least two genuinely useful Perks - but because of everything around the release. The update is a mess: packed with bugs, riddled with stability issues, and with all the communication issues, it gets even worse. BHVR dropped the ball hard this time. Here’s hoping they can rebound sooner rather than later, because right now, playing DBD is a sad balance between fun and frustration.

AeternoBlade II had the potential to be a notable metroidvania in the Nintendo Switch’s library, but unfortunately it will be remembered as little more than a bug-laden mess, regardless of the couple of interesting ideas it brought forward.

Necobarista is a slice of life and it's just that. Perhaps, the lack of interaction is part of the message; It's like death, we can't avoid it and we just wait until it's the right time. Although it does not make it a bad game, we feel like it's a prologue of a promising thing that never comes.

Ignore the "New Play Control!" stamp: prefer the "Only for GameCube" one from 2004. Felt a bit more enthusiatic for more tennis on your Wii? Go for the original version, or wait for a real Mario Tennis for Wii.

Poison Control is a unique game, and perhaps a good buy for adventurers who like the genre. In general, it is a repetitive game, it does not stand out in any element, remaining only in the average. Gameplay is fun, but it is not enough to entertain for long hours of gaming.

Pokémon Legends ZA: Mega Dimension is priced too high for the content it delivers. While it has its redeemable moments, the experience is undermined by excessive grinding, repetitive tasks, and, most frustratingly, a severely time-limited exploration of its core new mechanic, the Mega Dimension. With little substantial content beyond some new Megas and returning Pokémon, this DLC ultimately falls short, especially when compared to the series' stronger expansions.

It's easy to understand that this title is for kids. For fans of the series, there isn't appeal in the package that, despite some minutes of fun, won't captivate for too long.

Deep Ones is a retro 2D platform game that does not try to innovate, but fulfills what little it promises. It has slow commands for its thematic and an incredible art, but the repetition of levels and some problems of gameplay can take away the player of the adventure. Your levels require memorization of what to do and after a while you can progress smoothly. Boss battles are the most fun of the game. The soundtrack is not bad, but it does not match the game, it bothers you even more in battles against bosses. The small price of Deep Ones makes it a good option for those looking for a few hours of fun at a light price, but it is not even a mandatory game for Switch owners, as Deep Ones is a game with a very specific audience.

It is a game with a mechanical mechanics that concerns your lack of art. Those that are not harder to control have been achieved, but they are other things. Alteric is unfortunately a potentially wasted game.

Despite being a creative and fun game, Kukoos: Lost Pets suffers from execution problems, game design, performance and poorly optimized visuals.

Double Dragon Revive is a classic example of a good poorly executed concept. The effort to bring a more complex combat system and the return of a beloved franchise deserve recognition, but the poor configuration of collisions, inaccurate control and poor performance end up burying any brilliance.

Simply Minesweeper offers more than expected. After all, you can change the animated background of the stages. That's it. Simple..

Star Overdrive sells itself as a fast-paced adventure, but its combat is slow and lacks polish in many aspects, such as immersion, level design, and exploration. Many things feel unfinished, such as the end of boss fights and certain puzzles. It stops encouraging exploration after a certain point, which ends up making the story fall behind.

Launched and publicized as a companion app for Black 2 and White 2, Dream Radar doesn't do much to separate itself from this status.

Kitaria Fables had everything to be cool, but ended up wanting to do too many things, and sinned even for the most basic aspects of a game.

Here is another indie that relies on the Overcooked formula, but does not seem to understand what made the saga so successful.

An update correcting the songs with loud noise, increasing the speed of the first character and decreasing the life of the enemies would be very welcome.

Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed is the remastered version of a japanese PSP game, which never got localized before, and now we can finally figure out what's going on here. Considering its captivating cast of characters and the somewhat cool and engaging story featuring the player's ability to make choices, this bizarre game has aged extremely badly due to its cumbersome gameplay. Storywise, Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed is totally worth it. Although, it deserved a better treatment or even a remake rather than this low-effort remaster.

The Force Unleashed II on the DS has medium graphics and interesting sound effects, but everything else is sad. The force, definitely, is not in this title.

Blok Drop U's systems work to some extent, but the almost complete absence of other attractives and the feel of randomness makes it a difficult game to recommend.

GTA The Trilogy: The Definitive Edition is a collection of 3 great titles that left their mark in history. However, the so-called Definitive Edition came out without the deserved treatment.

This game is a type of simplified version of Big Brain Academy. It may entertain you and your friends who want to quickly test their brains, but it becomes a horrible game after a few hours.

Hazel Sky is an indie that seemed to be a very ambitious project, however, it gives me the impression of having narrowed down its scope to get good to go on the launch date.

Super World Technos is a collection that serves as an example of how not to make a collection: With laziness and sloppiness.

Make no mistake: Atari Mania isn't a collection nor a compilation of games from the Atari era, but instead it's a homage in an explorational format plus games remixes.

No graphic (there aren't even movements on it!) or sound appeal, it only serves as a test on WiiWare.

Baki Hanma: Blood Arena is visually well made, since it takes assets directly from the anime, but it falls short in everything else considered minimally acceptable. The intentions are good, but the product itself is too lazy and limited.

The Everybody's Golf franchise has seen better days, especially in previous entries where performance, ethics, and game design were taken more seriously.

Texas Hold'em Tournament is a simple and cheap game, directed only to those who want to challenge their faraway friends in a poker match. For any other person, it's recommended to buy a common 52 card pack and go to a bar table. But no real bets, please.

Super Meat Boy 3D is just a shadow of its original version; its visuals don't match the graphics, the soundtrack doesn't fit, and the controls are more frustrating than the game's difficulty itself.

Nostalgia has been betraying me lately, and it wasn't different with Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles. Repetition and poorly-made mechanics are the biggest pain points in this lazy remaster.

If you're looking for something that reminds you of the great classics, it's better to let Rodea pass.
