Super Mario RPG reviews

Super Mario RPG is just about to get a big remake on Switch, and Nintendo has now lifted the official embargo on reviews. It’s the company’s last big release of 2023.

Super Mario RPG originally came out on the SNES, and the development team decided to fully upgrade the visuals. There are also some new elements this time around such as cinematics, the three-character Triple Move, powered-up bosses that can be challenged after beating the game, an updated soundtrack, and more.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder reviews

With only a couple of days to go until launch, Super Mario Bros. Wonder reviews are now starting to go live. We have a roundup of some early verdicts.

We don’t need to remind you, but this is a huge release from Nintendo. Aside from the fact that Mario platformers are always big sellers, this is the first original side-scroller in the series in over a decade. There’s a lot that’s new here with the Wonder Flower that changes up each level, the badge system, Elephant Mario, new enemies, and more.

Detective Pikachu Returns reviews

Detective Pikachu Returns will be here in just a couple of days, and reviews for the game are now starting to drop.

The new Switch title will be launching more than four years after it was first teased. After initially announcing the project in 2019, The Pokemon Company had nothing to say about it until the game finally surfaced during a Nintendo Direct this past June.

Pikmin 4 reviews

Pikmin 4 is almost here on Switch, and the first reviews just started to drop. Nintendo lifted the official embargo just moments ago.

This game has been a very long time coming. In September 2015, Shigeru Miyamoto indicated that the project was “very close to completion.” However, it wasn’t until a Nintendo Direct last September that the game was properly announced.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom reviews

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is finally here (well, in a couple more days), and the first reviews are now starting to find their way online.

This title will not only be one of the biggest releases of the year, but also one of the biggest games on Switch in general. It comes a little over six years after the series’ last title, Breath of the Wild, and roughly four years following its original announcement at E3 2019. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom looks to retain what made the original game special while adding new features and content including sky islands, new abilities for Link, and more.

Here’s a roundup of some early reviews for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp reviews

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is almost here on Switch following previous delays, and reviews are now starting to come online. We’ve rounded up some of the early verdicts.

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp includes remakes of the series’ first two entries developed by Shantae studio WayForward. A couple of new features are included, highlighted by online play.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon reviews

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon will be launching worldwide in just a few days, but some early reviews are now starting to come online.

This Switch exclusive is quite different from previous entries in the series. Whereas the franchise has been known for its hardcore third-person action, PlatinumGames is mixing things up with more of a top-down perspective in which players control both Cereza and Cheshire simultaneously. The title also serves as a prequel to the main trilogy.

Here’s a roundup of initial reviews for Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon:
