The Switch Effect

Developed By and Published By: Nostra Games Category: Action Release Date: 03.12.26 Price: $9.99 *Game Download Code graciously provided for the purpose of review When I’m browsing the eshop and looking for new games to play, I always find a bunch of random junk. 90% of the games I find are shovelware, knockoffs of popular games, or AI generated content. I tend to avoid these games at all costs, but I found one that’s a blatant copy of one of my favorite games of 2025, so I had to see what was up.

In an unlikely pairing, Pokemon is teaming up with Garmin watches. Earlier today it was announced that the Pokemon Sleep app is now compatible with most watches under the Garmin brand. This means you can track your sleep using the watch and it will feed your data directly into the app for you. Trainers who register through the end of November will also receive three Poke Biscuits for free. For compatibility, read HERE. For additional information, read HERE. Post navigation

Developed By: Nihon Falcom Published By: NIS America Category: RPG Release Date: 02.20.26 Price: $69.99 *Game Download Code graciously provided for the purpose of review We live in an age where remakes, upgrades, and Definitive Editions are rapidly released. Persona 5, Dragon Quest XI, and Final Fantasy VII Remake are some of the biggest recent examples. They’re very common and most of them significantly the base game.

Developed By: Game Freak Published By: Nintendo Category: Life-Sim Release Date: 03.05.26 Price: $69.99 It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Pokémon, but I occasionally skip some of the spinoff titles. Pokopia was originally supposed to be that kind of game for me. It looked interesting, but I wasn’t really in the mood for another Animal Crossing kind of game, especially one that cost $70. I wasn’t going to review or play it, but the reviews and hype after launch got me to reconsider.

Developed By and Published By: Capcom Category: RPG Release Date: 03.13.26 Price: $69.99 *Game Download Code graciously provided for the purpose of review Monster Hunter has already been one of my top gaming franchises for a long time. I’ve been hooked ever since the PSP days nearly twenty years ago. When Rise and Wings of Ruin came out for the Switch, I was super hyped.

Developed and Published By: Bethesda Category: RPG Release Date: 02.27.26 Price: $19.99 *Game Download Code graciously provided for the purpose of review Fallout 4 will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s one of the rare games that I’ve spent more than 100 hours on that wasn’t a JRPG. As such, it sits comfortably as one of my top 20 games of all time. But I’ve only ever played the base version on PS4. I never touched any of the enhancements or DLC, yet I still had the time of my life.

Developed By: OhMyMe Games Published By: Grumpyface Studios Category: Action Release Date: 02.19.26 Price: $14.99 *Game Download Code graciously provided for the purpose of review Have you ever wanted to play a cross between OlliOlli World and Spyro the Dragon? Well now you can, even if that thought never crossed your mind in the first place. This is where a game called Seafrog joins the party. It’s a swashbuckling, skateboarding, 2D platformer starting a frog.

Developed and Published By: Raptor Claw Category: Shooting Release Date: 02.26.26 Price: $19.99 *Game Download Code graciously provided for the purpose of review I never thought I’d have so much fun playing an arcade shooter, but here I am with FUR Squadron Phoenix. Apparently, this is a sequel to a game that came out back in 2023, but I never heard of the series until now. For the most part, it’s a rail shooter where you face off against space marauders.

Developed and Published By: Phoenix Labs Category: Simulation Release Date: 09.08.23 Price: $44.99 It’s not necessarily my favorite genre, but I adore farm life sims. I especially love Stardew Valley and Rune Factory, but I’ll give every game in the genre a chance. I’ve had my eyes on Fae Farm for a long time, but I was skeptical of the price when it first launched. But I finally got to play it and I regret not playing it sooner because there’s one huge quality of life feature.

Developed and Published By: ReLU Games, Inc. Category: Horror Release Date: 10.27.25 Price: $9.99 A few months ago, I found out about a game called Mimesis and I was immediately hooked on YouTube videos. The game looked fun, it was verified on Steam Deck, and it only cost $10. I knew that I wanted to play it, but it's not the same playing alone, so I had to wait until recently to try it out.
