Ooblets as a whole is one of the finer life simulation games ever made.
Pac-Man World: Re-Pac takes an already-great game on PS1 and makes it even better.
Dusk Diver 2 shows a notable improvement over the original by adding a second playable character to switch between in-battle at any point, but doesn't improve the formula enough to be a must-have for anyone who didn't love the original.
Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series is one of the most oddly-named collections ever, but features two top-notch platformers in their definitive editions.
Those seeking a slower-paced action-platformer with a mix of real-time resource management thrown in will adore Firegirl Hack 'n Splash Rescue DX. It's a tough, but fair game and one that feels a lot more fair than the original release thanks to tweaks with the balance and an in-game rewards system. If you're in the mood for a fun, challenging adventure and have an affinity for side-scrolling action, Firegirl Hack 'n Splash Rescue DX is a must-buy.
Cotton Fantasy nicely follows up on the reboot while also sticking too close to the formula, feeling like an extension of what the reboot was visually and in terms of gameplay.
Soundfall is a superb game that manages to marry several different genres together.
Prinny Presents NIS Classics Vol. 2 is a must-have for tactical RPG fans who missed out on either included game.
The House of the Dead: Remake had a lot working in its favor going in that didn't pan out in the end.
Big Bang Pro Wrestling offers a fantastic portable wrestling game experience that feels right at home on the Switch. There aren't many 8-bit-style wrestling games on the platform, with only Pro Wrestling available via the Switch Online service and no Tecmo World Wrestling as of this writing.
ITORAH is a fantastic Metroidvania and a must buy for those wanting an entry in the genre that tries new things.
PopSlinger is a tremendous game and one that may not be for everyone, but everyone who plays it will find something to love about it.
Reverie Knights Tactics is a good tactical RPG experience, but one that falls short of a top-shelf one overall.
Dimension Tripper Neptune: TOP NEP is an easy recommendation for anyone who ever loved Space Harrier. It's honestly more enjoyable than Space Harrier II was and delivers a fantastic modern interpretation of that kind of rail shooter with a level of color and polish that's unmatched.
Clockwork Aquario is a fantastic action-platformer that blends quick-moving playable characters and enemies alongside an inventive attack strategy.
Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is a good action RPG when it comes to delivering fun, but is lacking in overall depth.
Hot Wheels Unleashed is a fantastic arcade racer at its core, but the overall product is hurt by the gacha mechanics.
Cruis'n Blast is the most thrilling racing experience on Switch and the best arcade racer in years.
Outside of iffy sound design, Kitaria Fables is an outstanding game from top to bottom.
F.I.S.T. Forged in Shadow Torch is a must-buy for Metroidvania fans looking for something that tries new things. It takes the well-worn staples of the sub-genre and blends them with a steampunk feel and a richer storyline than most
