 =====Recommended Switch Games=====
   ***//Blaster Master Zero//** (also on: 3DS)
+  ***//Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night//** (also on: PC, PS4, XB1)
+    * 2501: Remarkably true to what was promised: a Greatest Hits Igavania game with the Konami serial numbers filed off. Not stunningly original, nor likely to win over anyone who doesn’t like the Igavanias, but it truly is just like Uncle Koji used to make. Switch version asks you to make some truly disappointing compromises in exchange for portability.
+  ***//Collection of Mana//**
+    * 2501: Your first time playing //Seiken Densetsu 3// in English, with an actual controller!
+  ***//Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition//**
+    * 2501: Yes that is actually the full title. It really is the definitive edition of the game, though!
   ***//Golf Story//**
     * VirtualClint: cute and funny, would recommend
+  ***//Into the Breach//** (also on: PC)
+    * 2501: Super meticulously designed turn-based tactics game with a //Pacific Rim//-esque mech theme. All the variables of these types of games (damage values, map tiles, unit numbers, campaign length) are pared down to the bare minimum, but the result feels anything but “simple”. Very little RNG. You’re tasked with defending civilian infrastructure from attacks and win automatically after surviving so many turns, a defensive gameplay style which significantly alters the flow and feel of battle from similar games. Cool, challenging stuff.

   ***//Super Mario Odyssey//** - [[https://selectbutton.net/t/super-mario-2006/3715|Forum Thread]]
+  ***//Super Smash Bros. Ultimate//**
+  ***//Xenoblade Chronicles 2//**
+    * 2501: Really mixed bag with high highs (gorgeous, huge environments, A+ soundtrack, some catchy combat mechanics) and bottom-scraping lows (character design/writing that succumbs to the most noxious moe/loli tropes, shrill interminable voice acting, a truly glacial first third of the game). It eventually gripped me, but not without massive caveats.
