In Undermine, you start as a miner sent underground to dig for gold and other resources, rescue some villagers, and figure out what’s causing all those tremors. So, you do that. And then you die. Enter the next miner. Same tasks. Same fate. Is this really a job worth accepting?

Having completely missed the original game on the Wii U, I’ll admit to starting Tadpole Treble Encore with some trepidation. But this is a very good rhythm game that fans of the genre will certainly want to play on the Switch if they skipped the initial release.

Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends and the Secret Fairy may lack the melodrama and heroics of most JRPGs, but it still offers a lengthy campaign full of compelling combat, exploration, and crafting.

One feature that’s sorely missing from the Nintendo Switch (and which will hopefully be addressed in the mythical Switch Pro) is wireless audio. Playing a portable system with wired headphones just seems so…DS, I guess. And it’s a problem EPOS is addressing now with their GTW 270 Hybrid wireless earbuds.

2021 has begun, and we can’t think of a better way to get up some momentum than with a game giveaway. Courtesy of Firesprite Games, Pure Nintendo is giving away three copies of the sci-fi survival horror game, The Persistence.

We’ve been waiting for Cris Tales for quite some time. (I first learned about it in a demo at E3 2019, if that’s any indication). We’re getting pretty close to release now, and Modus Games has just announced a Cris Tales Collector’s Edition that will make waiting even harder.

Iris.Fall is a short puzzle adventure. You can finish it in under five hours, and that’s just about right. Although the game is visually compelling throughout, the core gimmick wouldn’t be able to hold up much longer than that.

Well, if one of your New Year’s resolutions was to spend more time playing retro RPGs, I’ve got good news. KEMCO has released Crystal Ortha for Nintendo Switch, and it’s one of the better games they sent our way in 2020.

Pre-orders for the Harvest Moon: One World Collector’s Edition opened yesterday, and include a chicken plushie and a music diorama, both of which are appropriately adorable. The latter is one of the more unique bonuses we’ve seen in a collector’s edition.

The Nintendo Switch has become a powerhouse of party games, offering players dozens of excellent options for local co-op and competitive play. Bit2Good’s action arcade game What the Fork is a recent example. Does it stack up against the competition?

Electro Ride: The Neon Racing’s colorful design and pulsing soundtrack would be perfect for the type of arcade cabinet that surrounds you as you sit inside. On the Nintendo Switch, however, a lot of this style is lost, and we’re left with just another mediocre racing game.

Space Invaders was never my cabinet of choice at full arcades, but I was happy to play it when there was nothing else (or at least nothing I was any good at). And this is why I appreciate Space Invaders Forever as much as I do. This particular collection, however, is not for everyone.

BIT.TRIP FLUX was (is?) the final entry in the six game BIT.TRIP series, returning us to the start. Like BIT.TRIP BEAT, FLUX draws its inspiration from Pong, and It’s as engaging now as it was when it was originally released for Nintendo Wii in 2012.

BIT.TRIP CORE is completely comfortable with what it is. Although it was originally released for the Nintendo Wii in 2009, the game’s nucleus could’ve existed on the Atari 2600 if rhythm games had been a thing back then. So, how does it play on the Nintendo Switch in 2020?

I’m sure there’s a market out there for a bus driving sim. The world is a big place, after all, so it’s safe to assume there’s a market for everything. But if you’ve been eagerly refreshing the Nintendo eShop hoping to finally get the definitive game for city bus immersion, I’m afraid to say Bus Driver Simulator is not it.
