Construction Simulator 3 is a small step forward for the franchise. It doesn’t do much wildly differently from its predecessor, but that was already a fairly decent sim experience. There are other construction sims on Nintendo Switch, and this remains as the best I’ve played so far. That said, I would like to see a few more additions in later entries.

Disc Room is a shining example of how developers can take a simple concept and elevate it into something extraordinarily magical. It's obvious that the team behind it put a lot of love and effort into its creation, and it shows. If you're even the slightest bit interested in Disc Room, you should give it a try.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe is a reminder that this game (and trilogy) succeeds at just about everything it tries. If you have not played Pikmin 3, you really, really should, and Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the perfect opportunity.

You’ll chuckle and shed a tear throughout your playtime while learning the techniques necessary to conquer the gravity manipulation-heavy platform sections. If you’re an old soul like me, you’ll also appreciate the many references to old-school gaming. Give this genre-defying title a chance if you want to experience something old and new at the same time.

Fuser misses the mark on the sights and sounds of being a genuinely cool DJ, but it perfects the execution as a creative and experimental music game that goes as deep as your imagination will take you.

Regardless, No More Heroes is still a blast to play. There’s something so satisfying about swinging your hands to slice someone in two. It has blemishes, for sure, but its main gameplay and sense of style win out in the end. The Switch release is the definitive version, bar none, so check it out if you like quirky adventures.

Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues delivers a satisfying combination of engaging beat ‘em up gameplay, authenticity to the TV series, and preposterous humor that results in an experience unlike any other on Nintendo Switch. “Cobra Kai never dies” thanks to bonkers extensions of the IP such as what Flux Games has produced here.

It seems then that the vast majority of the content within the game serves no purpose other than to prolong the game’s length. Younger fans may still want to check out Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia, but for older fans or those not already interested in Bakugan, it’s a much, much harder sell.

Pumpkin Jack is a decidedly fun game. I’d love to see what could have been accomplished under a full dev team, as there’s not a ton of content and some of the platforming woes are disappointing. However, this adventure was developed by a single person and was never supposed to be an epic.

If you’re someone who enjoys sidescrolling platformers, wacky humor, or just the AVGN series, you’ll probably enjoy this one. At the very least, it won’t make you want to set your Switch on fire, shoot it with a gun, cut it in half with a katana, take a dump on it, or subject it to any of the other things the Nerd has done to sh*tty games over the years.
