MySims Cozy Bundle review

System: Switch
Release date: November 19, 2024
Developer: EA
Publisher: EA


When is a “cozy” game not, in fact, a cozy game? EA’s surprise re-release of the Wii-era MySims games for Nintendo Switch is a curious case of historical revisionism, given that both the original game and its follow-up MySims: Kingdom both pre-date the term by at least a decade. Nevertheless, the original games’ twee 2000’s aesthetic and alleged cozy credentials have merited a quick and dirty remaster job for the Nintendo’s hybrid. Nostalgic pull aside, the awkward holdovers that come with Wii Remote controls, and stiff competition within the genre dull the franchise’s grand re-appearance.

Nintendo shared new data today revealing the top 20 best-selling games on the Japanese Switch eShop for November 2024.

Dragon Quest is always a big deal in Japan, so it’s no surprise that Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. It’s not easy to overthrow Super Mario Party Jamboree, but Square Enix’s release did just that. Super Mario Party Jamboree settles for #2 this month. Platform 8 is the only other new title on the chart.
