00:24Mario & Luigi Brothership

00:33After being dormant for a handful of years, the Mario & Luigi series is back with its

00:37first foray on home consoles.

00:40Players found Brothership to be a wonderful return for the series with an incredible scope

00:44and stellar character animation.

00:46Even if not every aspect met the expectations of diehard fans, the game still saw plenty

00:51of praise for its combat, music, and minigames.

00:54Plus, Luigi was finally able to put his head on straight and come up with some clever ideas

00:59during fights and exploration.

01:01This alone led to some interesting boss fights and even more interesting encounters with

01:05various characters.

01:14Princess Peach Showtime

01:16A video game starring Princess Peach may not be everyone's cup of tea, but Princess Peach

01:28Showtime managed to make the idea work rather well.

01:31We could have easily settled for a sequel to the often forgotten DS game Super Princess

01:35Peach.

01:36What we got instead was a mystery surrounding a monumental theater with a wealth of different

01:40costumes boasting unique abilities.

01:42Whether it was cake decorating, becoming a musketeer, or watching Peach unleash her inner

01:47kung fu warrior, Princess Peach Showtime was a way more fun time than most folks were probably

01:53expecting.

01:59Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

02:08Even though this was virtually a port, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD was still a game worth checking

02:14out this summer.

02:15With the 3DS original launching all the way back in 2013, it's hard to say if many folks

02:19got to play Dark Moon back in the day.

02:22Through this version, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD managed to showcase everything that made

02:26this game memorable back then in a much higher resolution.

02:29Our only complaint was that we wish the visual upgrade came with a smoother framerate, but

02:34The Switch is ancient, what can you do?

02:39Mario vs. Donkey Kong

02:45Much like the Mario and Luigi games, the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series had faded into obscurity

02:50for quite some time before this remake came out, and boy, we needed a good reminder as

02:55to why this handheld series was great in the first place.

02:58Not only does Mario vs. Donkey Kong manage to recreate the GBA original with the best

03:03sound and visuals, it also adds in two new worlds with their own gimmicks as well as

03:08a handful of different modes to give the campaign some replayability.

03:12Perhaps now is a good opportunity to reintroduce this spin-off series for a new game or a remake

03:18of the second game.

03:26Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble

03:34Super Monkey Ball has seen a comfortable resurgence within the last few years thanks to a remaster

03:38and a remake.

03:40So how did the newest entry in 12 years turn out?

03:42Well, developer Ryu Gagotaku did amazingly well.

03:46Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble was everything we could have wanted from a new installment.

03:50In addition to a meaty roster of 18 playable characters, we also got to experience more

03:54than 200 stages and even compete in a unique battle royale mode.

03:59Honestly, we were getting a lot of bang for our buck with this one.

04:09Another Code Recollection

04:15There are a ton of wonderful games that may be forever stranded on the DS.

04:19Thankfully, both Another Code and its sequel were rescued with this massive remake of both

04:25games.

04:26Another Code Recollection managed to give the original games a facelift while implementing

04:29a new art style to give the games a more distinctive look.

04:33Arc System Works did an exceptional job at preserving this hidden DS gem, and we're

04:37hoping this might lead to a new entry later down the road.

04:45Super Mario Party Jamboree

04:52As the third Mario Party game to come to Switch, Super Mario Party Jamboree had a lot

04:56of hype riding on it.

04:58Surprisingly, this isn't just the best Mario Party on the Switch, it's the most balanced

05:03entry in the entire franchise.

05:05No minigame feels one-sided or easy to cheese, the economy doesn't feel too absurd in coin

05:10payouts, and coming in second or third can still net you some kind of reward.

05:15With a wealth of different boards and game modes to choose from, Jamboree is immensely

05:20fun to play even if you're playing as a party of one.

05:30Imio the Smiling Man – Famicom Detective Club

05:41The Famicom Detective Club series makes its return with its first new game in over thirty

05:45years.

05:46Imio the Smiling Man tasks you to investigate crime scenes as you track down a mysterious

05:51killer who wears a paper bag over his head.

05:54We don't want to spoil too much, but this might be one of the most chilling games Nintendo

05:58has ever put out.

05:59If you've been itching for a scary game or a visual novel adventure game, this is

06:04well worth its asking price.

06:14The Legend of Zelda – Echoes of Wisdom

06:23After spending ages demanding Zelda get her very own game, we finally got one.

06:28No Wand of Gamelon does not count.

06:30The Legend of Zelda – Echoes of Wisdom put our princess in the role of the hero for a

06:34change and gave her the power to copy objects and enemies.

06:38Much like we did with Tears of the Kingdom, this mechanic only got more chaotic as we

06:42searched for different ways to practically break the game.

06:45It may not be as expansive and immersive as the more modern Zelda games, but if you want

06:50something that sort of plays like the Link's Awakening remake, Echoes of Wisdom was a lovely

06:54breath of fresh air.

07:08Paper Mario – The Thousand Year Door

07:18Look we know that 2024 was a year filled with remakes and remasters from Switch exclusives,

07:23but if there was one Switch game that you could play this year, we would highly recommend

07:27Paper Mario – The Thousand Year Door.

07:29There are reasons why folks still cherish the original today with its story, characters,

07:34exciting turd-based combat, boss fights, worlds, and more.

07:38And the remake here only further improves that with new lighting, textures, and animations.

07:43Hopefully this is a sign for Paper Mario to return to its roots for a new game.

07:52Which Switch game was your favorite this year?
