In between those potent Pocket Monster packages, we got a large portion of Kirby (zzgl. a tasty side dish), a selection of sports (beide Schalter und Mario Stürmer variety), a trio of excellent games with a ‘3’ im Titel (Xenoblade, splatoon, und Bayonetta), and both Koei Tecmo and Ubisoft taking the reins on Nintendo IP with Fire-Emblem-Krieger: WENIGE und Mario + Rabbids: Funken der Hoffnung beziehungsweise.

Throw in all the quality third-party releases — Square Enix, bestimmtes, was on fire this year with games like Dreiecksstrategie, Dragon Quest-Schätze, und Krisenkern — a deluge of excellent indies, einschließlich Bürger Schläfer, Neonweiß, Tunic, und Verkettete Echos, a great selection of retro collections, and a bevy of quality ports of games big and small, and there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to play everything we want to.

Capcom Arcade 2. Stadion (eShop wechseln)

Capcom Arcade 2. Stadion (eShop wechseln)

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 22nd juli 2022 (USA) / 22nd juli 2022 (Großbritannien/EU)

As long as you’re okay with its unreasonable lack of online functionality and screen filter niggles, there are hundreds of hours of fun to be had with Capcom Arcade 2. Stadion. 32 mostly excellent games and another historically notable preservation piece, it recalls the essence of what an arcade felt like. Achieving that feeling, jedoch kurz, will be enough to justify a purchase for those with an affinity for gaming’s rich history.

Es braucht zwei (Schalter)

Es braucht zwei (Schalter)

Herausgeber: Electronic Arts / Entwickler: und es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass Reservierungen für das Abendessen schwer zu finden sind

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 4November 2022 (USA) / 4November 2022 (Großbritannien/EU)

If you were even half-aware of games news at the end of 2021, you will already be a bit interested in this game. It’s brimming with fun, uniquely committed to co-op gaming, plays solidly and distinctively, and usually discards one cool idea in favour of another before there’s time to get bored. Now-standard graphical compromises have been made for Switch, and the typical perk of playing handheld is questionable for an always-split-screen co-op-only game. dennoch, it keeps the frames moving well enough not to undermine its Game-of-the-Year sparkle. Es braucht zwei and the good old Switch may not be a perfect marriage, but it’s worth sticking it out.

Nintendo Switch Sport (Schalter)

Nintendo Switch Sport (Schalter)

Herausgeber: Nintendo / Entwickler: Nintendo

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 29April 2022 (USA) / 29April 2022 (Großbritannien/EU)

Nintendo Switch Sport is a charming but barebones offering. It’s not a bad game by any stretch but it lacks an awful lot of what would make for a solid recommendation. Online play is the best option on offer with unlockable customisations and a predictably broader pool of players, but its limited scope means you’ll be doing the same thing time after time. Local play is hobbled by a lack of any unlockables whatsoever, and with such limited options to change up how each sport plays out, solo play is a slog. There is fun to be had here, but it’s more in the vein of the occasional 30-minute play sessions with friends than anything with major long-term appeal. Nintendo Switch Sports is ‘fine’, dann, aber kaum mehr als das.

Überzeugung eines Attentäters: The Ezio Collection (Schalter)

Überzeugung eines Attentäters: The Ezio Collection (Schalter)

Herausgeber: Ubisoft / Entwickler: Ubisoft Montreal

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 17Februar 2022 (USA) / 17Februar 2022 (Großbritannien/EU)

Assassins Creed: The Ezio Collection is a great compilation of some of the series’ most highly-regarded entries. Aside from some combat that lacks depth and a convoluted story, the three games included here are absolutely worthy of your time. There’s still plenty of fun to be had if this is your first Assassin’s Creed experience, with the cities still managing to impress with their sense of scale and historical detail, but some of the dated gameplay elements and glitches may make other entries a better jumping off point. Die Rebellen-Kollektion is a very fine alternative if you want slightly more modern interpretations of the series, with a seafaring bent. Jedoch, if you’re already a fan and are able to tolerate its foibles — old and new — this is an enjoyable trip into (video game) history and an easy recommendation.

Bereitstellung von filmischen Grafiken mit RTX ON in unterstützten Spielen wie z (Schalter)

Herausgeber: SloClap / Entwickler: SloClap

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 8November 2022 (USA) / 8November 2022 (Großbritannien/EU)

Bereitstellung von filmischen Grafiken mit RTX ON in unterstützten Spielen wie z was one of the best games of the year when it launched on other platforms, und das ist jetzt auf der Switch nicht anders. Es ist ein Hardcore-Kampf, der Sie an die Grenzen Ihres Könnens bringt, gepaart mit einem intelligenten alternden Mechaniker, makes for one of the most satisfying gaming experiences in the beat ’em up genre. Während der Switch-Port gegenüber der PS5-Version offensichtlich etwas herabgestuft ist, it’s still a more than valid option for Nintendo-only gamers and those keen to try this kung-fu brawler out on the go.

Kult des Lammes (eShop wechseln)

Kult des Lammes (eShop wechseln)

Herausgeber: Zurück Digital / Entwickler: Massives Ungeheuer

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 11August 2022 (USA) / 11August 2022 (Großbritannien/EU)

Kult des Lammes proves to be a remarkably fresh take on the roguelite genre, not just in its goofy and creepy aesthetic, but in its smart blending of action and survival mechanics. Gameplay remains tense without ever feeling like it’s unfair and a steady stream of unlockables and collectables ensures that your efforts are always rewarded. It’s just a shame that the performance isn’t up to snuff, Zumindest beim Start, as that’s really the only major complaint that we have here. We’d still give this a hearty recommendation to anyone who thinks it might be up their alley; it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but Cult of the Lamb proves itself to be a great new addition to the Switch library.

Das Original Sonic the Hedgehog und seine zweieinhalb Fortsetzungen (eShop wechseln)

Das Original Sonic the Hedgehog und seine zweieinhalb Fortsetzungen (eShop wechseln)

Herausgeber: SEGA / Entwickler: SEGA

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 23Juni 2022 (USA) / 23Juni 2022 (Großbritannien/EU)

Das Original Sonic the Hedgehog und seine zweieinhalb Fortsetzungen ist, on one hand, a near-definitive way to experience four stone-cold classics that represent some of the highest peaks of Sonic’s career. Auf dem anderen, most of these games are already readily available and there aren’t many new features or additions to justify buying them yet again. The cutscenes, museum elements, and missions are all very pleasant but they’re also the minimum you would expect for a series this prestigious and popular.

For players ready to play these classics for the first time, Sonic Origins is the go-to way to experience Sonic’s 16-bit heyday. Die-hard 2D Sonic veterans may be less enamoured with the package and the small but noticeable differences between the Classic Modes presented here and the games in their true original configurations. Regardless, it’s sure nice to have Sonic CD available in a convenient form on the most convenient of consoles. Not perfect, dann, but great comfort-food gaming.

Schaufelritter Dig (eShop wechseln)

Schaufelritter Dig (eShop wechseln)

Herausgeber: Spiele des Yachtclubs / Entwickler: Nitro

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 23rd. Sep 2022 (USA) / 23rd. Sep 2022 (Großbritannien/EU)

Schaufelritter Dig is another triumphant and enjoyable entry in the popular indie knight’s growing legacy, offering up thrilling, challenging gameplay that will appeal to fans both old and new. Though it may be a little on the short side, every minute of Shovel Knight Dig positively oozes quality, whether that be the snappy action-platforming or the fresh 16-bit art style and animation. We’d give this one a high recommendation to anyone who enjoyed the original platformers or to anyone looking for a tough (but not offputtingly tough) new roguelite. Shovel Knight Dig has got it where it counts and can stand tall beside its noble predecessors.

PAC-MAN-MUSEUM+ (Schalter)

PAC-MAN-MUSEUM+ (Schalter)

Herausgeber: Bandai Namco / Entwickler: Bandai Namco

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 27Mai 2022 (USA) / 27Mai 2022 (Großbritannien/EU)

For fans of Pac-Man and his historical pedigree, Pac-Man-Museum+ is the best round-up yet, spanning decades and featuring his most notable titles. The arcade overworld is a nice touch, although the frame rate is a big letdown and really should have been ironed out. Und, while you might spend a while tinkering and designing your arcade space, the attraction of the gimmick is ultimately short-lived. Presentation deficiencies aside, obwohl, one can’t really fault the comprehensiveness of the collection, nor the quality of the titles themselves (gut, except Pac in Time). It’s a Pac-festival, and while it certainly has limited appeal, it offers countless hours of gaming fun and an interesting historical insight into the yellow orb’s evolution.

Fire-Emblem-Krieger: WENIGE (Schalter)

Fire-Emblem-Krieger: WENIGE (Schalter)

Herausgeber: Nintendo / Entwickler: Omega-Kraft

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 24Juni 2022 (USA) / 24Juni 2022 (Großbritannien/EU)

Fire-Emblem-Krieger: WENIGE ist eine durch und durch unterhaltsame Mischung aus Musou-Chaos, strategy and relationship-building aspects that should more than satisfy fans of both the franchises involved here. Es verbessert seine 2017 Vorgänger in mehrfacher Hinsicht, vor allem durch die Bereitstellung einer weitaus fesselnderen Geschichte mit einer Erzählung, die für mehrere Wiederholungen reif ist. Mit beeindruckend solider Leistung auf Switch und einer actiongeladenen Kampagne, in der Sie sich für immer Ihren Weg durch Zehntausende von Feinden bahnen werden 30 Stunden in einem einzigen Durchgang, this is right up there with the very best Omega Force has served up thus far.
