    As a Wii veteran, I can't help but feel a little let down but that isn't entirely Donkey Kong Country Returns HD's fault and it doesn't change how special it was when I played it originally in 2010 so if you play it as a newbie, I'm sure you'll have a great time.

    I'm very happy that I waited to play FREEDOM WARS Remastered online before writing my review because its action-intense combat lends itself so perfectly to multiplayer matches that I can't wait to play it again. You know what? I think I'll go do that now.

    Marvel Rivals is one of the more fun team-based online multiplayer games that you can play right now and with its simple gameplay and mostly straightforward unlocks, it really is a breath of fresh air. Plus, Squirrel Girl's tail is so bushy that it makes me one happy bear.

    Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is one heck of a wild ride that acts as a wonderful nostalgic time capsule. At the same time, it's so maddeningly difficult on the normal setting and the poor sense of direction can occasionally be a tough pill to swallow.

    As a huge fan of Volfied, it's clear that Mokoko X doesn't live up to the classic which is a shame because there's a lot of potential here.

    It's awesome that The Legend of Dark Witch Episode 2 is now for Switch and I wish more great 3DS games would be upgraded like this.

    With simple and repetitive gameplay that's impressively tight and entertaining, Uragun doesn't do much to break out of mediocrity.

    If it featured much more variety in its levels and no glitches then Ninja 1987 would be a must-play for retro action game fans.

    I had some fun with Super Rolling Heroes Deluxe and I'm sure you will, too, but it's still a frustrating and overly simplistic game.

    I haven't played a dungeon crawler RPG as satisfying and unique as Tokyo Clanpool in a very long time and I'm super-happy that it's as great of an experience as it is so if you enjoy these kinds of games and can get your hands on a copy, definitely take the plunge.
