Los mejores juegos de Nintendo Switch de 2021
2021 ha venido y se ha ido (almost) y a pesar de un comienzo de año tranquilo, Los propietarios de Switch han visto lanzar algunas gemas reales en el pasado 12 meses. We’ve seen big releases (admittedly re-releases or remakes in several cases) of most of Nintendo’s biggest franchises, with some big anniversaries popping up, demasiado.
Tenemos a Mario, a Zelda, a couple de Pokémon, un Metroid(!) y, perhaps most excitingly, a Big Brain Academy. ¡Eh, it’s a fun little game! Throw in WarioWare, Todo este metraje es música y diseños de Tetrimino inspirados en el and a host of brilliant third-party and indie titles — plus a sexy new SKU in the Switch OLED model — and it’s tough to deny that Nintendo’s console ended up having a strong software showing Los Sims pasan por una amplia gama de emociones que se representan en el juego usando un color que representa ese estado de ánimo en lo que se llama Moodlet. 2021.

Garaje de construcción de juegos is a frighteningly powerful game creation tool dragged down by a few limiting factors. The lack of an object creation tool (and pyramids) means that most games are going to look like they were made in a game creation suite, but the sheer scope of what’s possible helps to take the sting out of the tail. This will actually teach you how to make games, the tutorials that lead you through are by-and-large excellent, and the inclusion of USB mouse support is a godsend. We’re probably unable to even conceive of half of what Switch owners will be able to create using this software, but we’re certain this is helping propagate the next generation of game developers.

Celebrando los 40 años de historia del personaje. 99 may seem initially daunting with mechanics it simply doesn’t explain but once you experiment and learn by fire, it won’t take long to realise its true potential. Arika and Bandai Namco have barely touched the formula of this four-decade-old classic, and yet with just a few new layers it feels like a brand new game. We’ve invested more time than we care to admit into the previous ’99’ entries and PAC-MAN 99 has exactly the same brand of evergreen greatness about it.

FEZ es divertido, challenging puzzle platformer fit to burst with original ideas and unique gameplay wrinkles. Its puzzles bend reality and even leech into our own world on occasion, but aside from a few select mega-challenges never stray into the category of too obtuse or unfair. A few visual and mechanical quirks stop this from being a perfectly polished experience, but these are outweighed by its charm and other wonderful qualities ninefold. It’s another one of those ‘games you have to play’ on Switch, and it couldn’t be more at home.

Academia del gran cerebro: Cerebro vs. Cerebro is a fun little romp which doesn’t have ideas above its station and presents its brain-teasers in a more lighthearted, rowdier manner than Dr. Kawashima’s friendly but sterile style. This isn’t the kind of marriage between gameplay and (for lack of a better term) ‘work’ that you’ll find in Aventura en forma de anillo, but it’s a greatly enjoyable and budget-friendly way to keep up the little pitter-patter of grey matter for all ages.

mitopía is a weird old game, eso es seguro. If from what you’ve read you think you’d enjoy seeing King King Dedede [Acerca de An Elf Brings Punching Clowns] encouraging our very own Zion Grassl to marry his daughter Kazooie over Jon Cartwright, then you’re bound to have a good time with this. It’s very much the type of game in which you get out as much as you put in; if you’re not into injecting a copy of Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash into the role of a genie then you might want to think twice, or at least give the free demo a whirl. Whimsy and madcap situations a-plenty, this is a crossover that could rival Super Smash Bros. Final, provided you’re willing to put the effort in.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Deluxe Datamine descubre el banner del curso de refuerzo actualizado is a rather barebones revamp of a cult classic action-RPG that’s really beginning to show its age in many respects. The core combat here is still strong stuff, crunchy hack-and-slash action with plenty of flexibility and variety in how you go about decking out your character, but it’s also surrounded by a world and story that are very much of their time. Fans of the original game will no doubt enjoy what is a mostly fine Switch port, but there so many other, more modern RPG experiences available at this point on Nintendo’s console that everyone else should perhaps approach this with a measure of caution.

Going in with diminished expectations no-doubt coloured our impressions of Toree 3D, but our brief time with this 99-cent gem was undeniably delightful. For significantly less than the price of a decent cup of coffee, you get an enjoyably bite-sized, colourful 3D platformer with great music and a fun aesthetic that doesn’t take itself seriously in the slightest — and it doesn’t stick around long enough to get boring.
Can it compete with the scale and depth of the Switch’s finest 3D jump-fests? Of course not, but this low-poly PS1-style platforming experience is a joyous breath of fresh air that’s more than worth the asking price, as is its similarly breezy sequel. A great way to spend those Gold Points.

It’s easy to see why this was such a polarizing title upon release. There’s a lot to love here, pero Legend of Mana can be tiring in how much it likes to play ‘hard to get’. All the ingredients and individual pieces of a strong, impressively innovative RPG are present, but it feels like the developers simply tossed all these ideas in a bag and shook it vigorously, rather than taking the time to lay out all those ideas in a coherent and curated fashion. We’d recommended this for genre fans, specifically those who prefer more experimental titles. If that doesn’t describe you, there’s still a good chance you’ll find something to like about Legend of Mana, but just be aware that you may find it more of a mixed bag.

La versión Switch de Bandicoot de choque 4: Ya es hora is a perfectly passable port of a fantastic platformer that’s absolutely rammed with things to do. It may have the lowest frame rate and resolution of all versions of the game, but if the Switch is your main console or you’re looking to enjoy some bandicoot-bouncing on the go in handheld mode, it’s still an excellent offering when judged on its own merits.

It may not be saying much but Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is the best the series has been in almost two decades and newcomers are bound to find a lot to love. It wears its heart on its sleeve and clearly the team has true passion for the franchise. It’s packed full of content, new ways to play and there are so many extras and improvements that never existed in the original. Desafortunadamente, the engine beneath it all isn’t bastante up to the job. What they’ve achieved with Unity simply isn’t on par with the originals and while the main game is still enjoyable, many of the party games are severely hindered. Until Monkey Target returns to its former glory, we cannot truly say Super Monkey Ball is back.
