It seems like everything is being ported to the Switch. Now that this strange 2012 3DS action RPG beat 'em up is available for the console, take off a few layers of clothes and let's see how it holds up.
Semblance
In a genre that's flooded with games, it must be difficult to make one that stands out. Thankfully, Semblance's distinct mechanics and eerie yet minimalistic world might just have what it takes.
Although it's been done before, running your own RPG shop is such a clever premise for a game. Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! puts you in the jacket of a wannabe shopkeeper. Do you have the tots to run a successful business?
Iro Hero
Shoot 'em ups with polarity mechanics are nothing new. However, Iro Hero offers a simplistic albeit challenging take on the formula.
2D fighting games have been rapidly gaining popularity over the years and deservedly so. Koihime Enbu Ryo Rai Rai is an enhanced version of Koihime Enbu that only saw a Steam release in North America so was it worth releasing for console?
Pool Panic
Truly original video games are becoming increasingly harder to find. Pool Panic is a crazy take on billiards that's as enjoyable as it is trippy so chalk up your cue and get ready to whack some balls.
One of the most memorable games ever created is now available for Xbox One in a brand new edition. That's right; console gamers who never had the chance to play it earlier can finally enjoy NieR: Automata in all its gloriously stylish action.
Capcom's long-running Mega Man franchise has branched off into many different directions over the years. The Mega Man X series contains the most action-packed games in the blue bomber's history so let's revisit its origins.
Everyone's favourite blue hedgehog has had his share of ups and downs over the decades. Thankfully, Sonic Mania is a delightful return to form and this Plus version adds even more fun times to his latest adventure.
Considering racing around in go-karts isn't as popular as it once was, any new entry in the genre is welcome. Thankfully, All-Star Fruit Racing is actually fun so buckle up and get ready to race!
Tempest 4000
Atari's 1981 arcade classic shooter is back in all its vector-filled glory. Tempest 4000 offers some innovations to the decades-old formula but how does it hold up to previous games in the series?
Although Japanese gamers got to enjoy the latest Shining game back in 2014 for PlayStation 3, it's finally available in the west in an enhanced version. The question is: was Shining Resonance worth remaking?
