There are a few other games worth mentioning. Fire Emblem Engage did well, coming in right behind Zelda. Both volumes of the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection also placed in the top ten.

EA Sports FC 24 announced for Switch, using Frostbite Engine
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
EA Sports FC 24 is coming to Switch, and this seems to be the first notable soccer (or football) game from EA on Nintendo’s console in years.
For those that haven’t been keeping up with things, this is essentially the company’s yearly FIFA release. EA Sports and FIFA weren’t able to keep their agreement going, so it’ll be a slightly different take compared to what fans are used to seeing.

[Review] Oxenfree II: Lost Signals
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: July 12, 2023
Developer: Night School Studio
Publisher: Netflix
When Oxenfree released in 2016, I was enamored with it. I was younger then and found comfort in its high school drama and socially awkward characters, who were relatable and felt real. The supernatural yarn it weaved was surprisingly dark, yet grounded in events that felt possible in its strange world of ghosts and timeloops. But players who made it the end were likely left with at least a few unresolved questions, and Oxenfree II: Lost Signals tantalizes with promises of answers, or at least a deeper glimpse into the strange phenomena that occurred on Edwards Island all those years ago. While Oxenfree II delivers in that regard, its narrative and new exploration mechanics felt disappointingly safe for most of its runtime, failing to surprise and hook me in the way its predecessor did (outside of a few key moments); still, fans of the original owe it to themselves to see this story through to its conclusion.
Gex Trilogy announced for Switch
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Gex Trilogy is in development and will release on Switch, Square Enix and Limited Run Games just announced.
Gex, a platforming series, got its start in 1995. Gex: Enter the Gecko followed in 1998, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko closed the series out in 1999. This marks the first time these games will be re-released on modern platforms. Also, as they’ll be using Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine, we’ll likely see some improvements.
