    Ultra Street FIghter II is truly the ultimate version of the game. It has a new look, a lot of fan service, tons of modes, and new characters. It is a shame the Switch controller just was not made for fighting games.

    Dance, sweat, sing: do it all in Just Dance 2015. It's a fun game for parties.

    Let's Sing 2018 offers a variation of nice modes and 30 pop songs. But the library is not expandable. And that makes the game a little short. Next to that the microphones are wired, which makes no sense for a wireless console.

    Secret of Mana deserves a better remaster or remake than this. The game is revamped to look new, but there are numerous issues. The faces don't move and the gameplay just feels old on some accounts. Still the game is enjoyable for over 20 hours.

    Serious Sam Double D XXL is perfectly suited as a fun 2D arcade game in which you have to kill countless crazy and over the top enemies. It's a Serious Sam game the fan will recognize in a heartbeat. The plot is almost non-existent, however, and there are some serious framerate drops in the coöperative mode. For a simple, explosive shoot 'em up, you will a lot of guilty pleasure in Double D XXL, though.

    Dead Souls' controls and camera will work on your nerves frequently. Luckily, you'll get used to it pretty fast, allowing you to see a game with a good story, humor and so on. So without a doubt, you should give this one a try.

    Probably the best SOA-game. Funny feelgood story with addictive gameplay elements. Overall the experience could have been better if the areas had some more variety.

    A solid puzzle game, Picross seriously lacks presentation.

    Snake Eater still is a great game, but this 3D-remake is the worst version available. Even though it has some decent 3D-effects, it simply cannot beat the MGS HD-collection in term of content.

    At first glance GRID: Autosport really impresses, but after the first two races you'll start to see the flaws of Codemasters' new racer. Still, the racing and graphics are supurb, which makes GRID: Autosport better than GRID 2, but pales by comparison to the first GRID.

    This is a short game wherein you explore depths to dig deeper and deeper. It's definitely the best title to download from the eShop right now.

    A retro collection of 6 classic Marvel games from the 1990s, featuring beat ’em ups and platformers with mixed quality, strong nostalgia, co-op gameplay, and modern features like save states and cheats.

    James Bond 007: Blood Stone is a good shooter that has a lot of variety to offer. This game will keep you entertained until the end. It would have been an instant classic if it wasn't for the numerous mistakes and glitches.

    Developer Eden Studios has put way too much time in creating a good online experience. This is probably the reason why the gameplay hasn't really improved on its predecessor. Test Drive Unlimited 2 is a good game, but can't challenge the greater racing games of our generation.

    The game offers a lot of puzzle pleasure and gives you a real challenge collecting all the Pokémon. Despite of a few minor disappointments, like the lack of character voices, the game is absolutely worth the price.

    Dead Space Extraction is a welcome addition to the on-rails genre. You have to like the slow pace, but the co-op mode on itself makes the game a must-have for fans!

    Blades of Fire combines and enriches the Soulslike and RPG formulas with some new ideas and mechanics that are both welcome and frustrating. While the game looks great and diverse, the gameplay doesn't always work out as well.

    Shank 2 has better controls than its predecessor. But it's a big failure that the co-op function has been deleted and the current multiplayer mode isn't all that special. So in short, Shank 2 is a good game, but it could have been better.

    Jump Start: Escape From Adventure Island is a nice and educational game for children. The game has good graphics and the soundtrack just suits the game right. Unfortunately the game has the occasional hickups and long loading times.

    You'll have a fantastic time playing Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games with your friends. It can be to tiring though and it has no lasting appeal. This game will never get a gold medal. It'll have to settle for bronze, and never even gets to the finish line when you're playing solo.

    Wii Party is just another typical multiplayer game for the Wii. Unfortunately there isn't an online mode, so if you don't have friends coming over you won't be playing this game. Nevertheless this game is great for parties.

    Diabolical Pitch is a fun game, but sadly it lacks originality and after some time the game becomes boring. The multiplayer is the best part of this over-the-top baseball game.

    Fairytale Fights has become a funny game, but all things are kept too simple. So playing alone will not amuse you, but the co-op on the other hand is really fun. However there is a lag off replay value that might keep you from buying this title!

    We don't advise to play this game alone but there's more then enough fun to explore when you play it co-op. The adventure continues!

    Everything this game needs is there, all the teams and drivers are complete and even the umbrella girls are included. However, SBK 09 is far too complex, which makes it hard to just start a simple race. But because the game has this much details, it's a awesome game for the motorbike fans.

    Katamari Forever has become a decent game. This is definitely a game for you if you like Japanese games with some weird features. But unfortunately there isn't any online multiplayer option and the singleplayer won't entertain you for long. So therefore you won't play this game 'forever'.

    Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince is a nice action adventure game. But more depth and variation in the gameplay would have been welcome. The game doesn't always give the player a magic feeling, but it still remains fun to be able to use some magic.
