Rayman Legends: the before Mario Wonder
Before Super Mario Bros. Wonder does not end a significant shortage of two-dimensional platform games, one of the references in this area was embodied by Rayman Legends. First released in August 2013, it benefited from a port to Nintendo Switch on September 12, 2017. An edition which does not revolutionize the content but which allows players to have an excellent title on a portable console.

Enough to extend the adventure of the platform game on Nintendo Switch.
Diablo 2: one of the most influential video games, quite simply
Diablo 2 is undoubtedly one of the most influential video games of its genre. When it was released at the dawn of the 21st century, it created codes that persist more than 20 years later. Fans of role-playing games, and particularly hack’n’slash, give it a special place. It is thanks to their enthusiasm that Blizzard, in 2020, decided to offer it a luxury facelift through the work of Vicarious Visions.

Especially if it is inexpensive.
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown: one of the best games of early 2024

Rated 16/20 on JV, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown offers a “very successful cocktail between combat, exploration, platform and puzzles”. It in no way revolutionizes the metroidvania genre in which it fits but constitutes an experience not to be put aside for fans of the genre. For others who are curious but not necessarily fans, it should be emphasized that “lots of customization elements” are available to improve your experience in terms of difficulty.
Doom: the father of the FPS
As we saw with Diablo 2, Nintendo Switch does not only rhyme with the general public and no-brainer video games. Like the previously named hack’n’slash, Doom is undoubtedly one of the most influential video games of all time: it is to him that we owe the formula of the FPS (First Person Shooter). ), or that of the first-person shooter. Just that.

DBZ Kakarot
Sad year for Dragon Ball fans. They had to say goodbye to Akira Toriyama, creator of the work. He is considered the father of shônen and it is certain that his influence is likely to continue in the years to come. In any case, Dragon Ball continues to exist and fans should eagerly await Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero who benefited from a big gameplay sequence recently. To be patient, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot may be the solution
