Ultimately, Mutant Football League Dynasty Edition does most right. In fact, there’s no single element I can point to that genuinely hurt my experience with it. It’s not a masterpiece by any stretch, as it doesn’t do enough to truly cement itself as wholly worthwhile. With that being said, there’s no denying the great fun to be had with the game. Old school, arcade-raised gamers will dig Mutant Football League Dynasty Edition, as will the modern sports fan.

It’s quite colorful and vivid, and the stylized visuals help give it some character. But, it’s certainly no graphics masterpiece. That said, it’s strange that the framerate is only 30 FPS with occasional drops. The Switch can do better, so this just shows minimal effort. Unlike the Wii days, Sports Party stands mostly alone in its genre on Switch. But, there are still alternatives.

I wanted to like Roarr!. I really did. It just fails on so many levels. While the game engine worked without any issues, everything added to it falls somewhat short. I know this is only a $10 purchase, but I would much rather the developer had spent a little more time and upped the price. As it is, I just can’t recommend Roarr!: Jurassic Edition, not even to dinosaur-obsessed little boys.

Rogue Legacy has found a loving home on Switch. If you have played Rogue Legacy before, and want just a bit more of it in your life, a portable version is a great pick-up. If you have not tried it before, the Switch edition is a perfect entry point.

There is no meaningful customization, and easy kills leave matches feeling half-baked after a while. But use those tricky backgrounds to your advantage, and the game will open up a lot more. While it is unlikely that Black and White Bushido will ever compel you to turn away from TowerFall for very long, it’s great for a quick match every now and then. Just don’t pick this up expecting to be blown away.

It may be a little on the short side in terms of content, but this is a budget title. I completed the game in around three or four hours. The fact that the PC release of Pinstripe was made entirely by one man shines through and helps to give this a cohesive vision. If you’re a fan of titles like Limbo, Toby: The Secret Mine, and Little Nightmares, then Pinstripe is something you should check out.

Full Metal Furies is a modern game that went back in time to visit the games that inspired it. The gameplay is deep, the characters are great, and the content is diverse. While some people may not like the difficult puzzles, the addictive gameplay and combat mechanics will have players coming back for a long time. Full Metal Furies isn’t for everybody, but for those willing to accept the challenge — grab some friends, and sit down for one of the best indies to hit the console this year.

The core mechanics are great, and I imagine the next game improving on the groundwork laid here. Fans will appreciate being able to step into the shoes of the franchise’s iconic characters, but they will likely be let down by a story they know all too well. My Hero One’s Justice won’t recruit new people to the franchise, but in terms of anime adaptations, this game is faithful to the source material, and that’s all a fan can really ask for.

Diablo III has seen numerous patches, refinements, and quality-of-life improvements since its initial release. It has also seen new character classes and a fifth act added to the game. Diablo III in 2018 is an outstanding game, and the Switch port really does the game justice. This Eternal Collection includes all the content released for the game and all the updates that have refined it into the modern classic it is.

Pizza Titan Ultra is solid at best, frustrating at worst, and is overall just a bit above average. That’s a shame because I had higher hopes for this title, but ultimately, I am not walking away too disappointed. If you find this title as intriguing as I did, it may still be worth a shot–just keep in mind that Pizza Titan Ultra is thin crust through and through.
