Selecciones de Nintendo Life eShop & Lectores’ Elección (Mayo 2024)
Pinc yourselves — May is over, the big Summer of Gaming is here, and it’s eShop Selects time de nuevo. El tiempo vuela!
To say May has been crazy is a bit of an understatement. Nintendo may have had two big(Elige una carta – PlayStation.Blog) releases with Endless Ocean Luminous y Mario de papel: La puerta de los mil años, but have you seen the indies this month? We’re practically drowning. But as always, we have a job to do — our staff and contributors vote for their top three eShop games from the list of games we’ve reviewed, and we give you the winners (and the best that didn’t bastante make the top)
But we can’t move onto May without congratulating the Reader’s Choice winner for April 2024 – stitch.! The adorable sewing game was announced during a surprise Indie World and is utterly charming.
Right, it’s time to check out just how stacked your backlog is, entonces.
Honourable mentions
This is maybe our biggest-ever eShop Selects month — 13 eShop-exclusive games scored at least a 7/10 , making for a bumper vote. But there were some very clear favourites. Here are the gems that didn’t quite make our top-three.
Nintendo Life’s honourable mentions
It’s Braid. What else can we say? One of the defining indie titles of the 2000s, Trenza, Edición de aniversario gives the beautiful puzzle-platformer a new lease of life, with refreshed graphics and music and a fantastic suite of commentary tracks that dive deep into the game’s themes, art, development, and just about everything.
We gave this remaster of Braid a 9/10, proving it’s stood the test of time easily.
It might not have been our best-reviewing game of the month, but no one can say no to a little kitty in the big city, parece. Little Kitty, Big City is a short, extremely-charming adventure that’s bursting full of personality. Even if you don’t love cats, it’s hard to resist this little mischief-maker as it explores the big city. Más, silly hats. C’mon, there’s nothing better than silly hats, derecho?
We scored it a 7/10 here at Nintendo Life, but for many of our writers here, a cat has more than nine lives.
We’ll be honest here — it wasn’t even close. Animal Well ran away with the votes, with every single staff member who took part voting for it, and with all but two voting for it in first place. Caray. ¿Por qué? Bien, it’s absolutely fantastic.
Animal Well is weird and wonderful in so many different ways: a puzzle-box version of a Metroidvania that never holds your hand but never feels impossible. It encourages exploration without any dialogue, satiating any budding adventurer’s curiosity. And the secrets go oh so deep. It’s an NL 10/10, puro y simple. Brillante, brilliant stuff from Billy Basso.

eShop Selects Reader’s Choice Vote (Mayo 2024)
Una vez más, we want you lovely readers to tell us about a game we might have missed this month. Sí, Es posible, given how absolutely stacked May has been! 1000xRESISTIR has blown many away with its storytelling. Umbraclaw proves kitty cats are ruling the roost right now. Duck Detective is on the case. Viral sensation Bread & Fred tumbled down the mountain. Those are just four titles we missed, so there are plenty more, but why don’t you tell us what your favourite game is.
Y, por supuesto,, you can also vote for your favourite out of our picks.
Cómo decidimos nuestra eShop Selecciona los tres primeros: A medida que llegamos al final de cada mes, el personal de Nintendo Life vota por sus títulos favoritos de una lista de juegos seleccionados por el equipo editorial. Para calificar para esta lista, estos juegos deben haber sido lanzados como un título de Nintendo Switch eShop solo digital en ese mes en particular, y debe haber sido revisado en Nintendo Life; seleccionamos los juegos de clasificación en función de sus puntajes de revisión.
Luego se le pide al personal que vote por tres juegos que creen que merecen estar justo en la parte superior de esa lista.; la primera opción obtiene 3 puntos, la segunda opción obtiene 2 puntos, y la tercera opción obtiene 1 punto. These votes are then tallied to create a top-three list, con el ganador general llevándose el premio mayor de ese mes.
