Split Fiction is one of the most outstanding cooperative games we’ve enjoyed. It combines a mature and well-structured narrative, sharp humor, dynamic gameplay that never ceases to amaze, and technical aspects that subtly showcase the potential of the new console.
An excellent opportunity to rediscover a classic RPG that keeps its traditional essence intact. The captivating story and robust combat system remain as appealing as ever. The visual adaptation is simple and doesn’t fully harness the power of Switch 2. However, if you can look past this detail, you’ll find a charming game.
Street Fighter VI: Years 1-2 Fighters Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 is a solid title that stands out for its precise and varied gameplay. Although the technical performance shows slight limitations in docked mode compared to handheld mode, this doesn’t overshadow an overall experience that remains remarkable.

Built with excellent quality and packed with brilliant ideas such as the magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers and their mouse mode, Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t completely overcome the expected limitations of its hybrid design. Although its hardware offers an outstanding leap forward in innovation, graphical performance, and versatility, it makes significant sacrifices in portability and battery life, leaving players with a “bigger and better” version of the original Switch and raising the lingering question: is this power-portability balance truly the path hybrid consoles should follow in the future?
Maliki: Poison of the Past, based on the charming French comic Maliki, combines RPG and cozy gameplay mechanics, though with some technical limitations on Switch. It’s a perfect entry point to explore different genres through a light and enjoyable adventure.
Mario Kart World is pure fun: thrilling races, a relaxing open world, innovative mechanics, and impeccable multiplayer—though it’s slightly disappointing that local matches with more than three players drop to 30fps. Nintendo has perfectly balanced the classic and the new, crafting a complete, addictive, and accessible experience that’ll delight both veterans and newcomers to the series.
Short yet intense. Bubble Ghost Remake is unforgiving, yet each small victory feels incredibly rewarding. A true love letter to retro gaming, perfect for players who enjoy a real challenge.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD manages to refine the series’ formula to perfection, featuring a fairly high difficulty level that may frustrate some players, but that we consider acceptable for those seeking a true challenge.

Nintendo has made the return of Mario & Luigi in Brothership the most complete and entertaining entry in the series, blending strategic gameplay with immersive exploration in a new world.

The best entry point to the Yakuza series. Kiwami is a heartbreaking story of redemption where the combat and the setting grab you despite its technical weaknesses.
