\"Cave\"Cave<\/a><\/p>\n

Publisher: <\/span>Nicalis<\/strong> \/ Developer: <\/span>Nicalis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Release Date: <\/span>20th Jun 2017 (USA<\/abbr>)<\/strong> \/ 20th Jul 2017 (UK\/EU<\/abbr>)<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

66% off – was \u00a326.99 \/ 29,99\u20ac, now \u00a38.99 \/ 9,99\u20ac until 5th Feb 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t played Cave Story<\/a><\/strong> yet, you need to; it\u2019s an essential title for any fan of Metroidvania style games. Its wonderful pacing, fantastic controls and charming visuals make it a must-have for fans of the genre, especially those that have yet to play it. If there was the equivalent of a required reading list for games, Cave Story+ would be on it.<\/p>\n

\"Okami\"Okami<\/a><\/p>\n
\n

Publisher: <\/span>Capcom<\/strong> \/ Developer: <\/span>Capcom<\/strong><\/p>\n

Release Date: <\/span>9th Aug 2018 (USA<\/abbr>)<\/strong> \/ 9th Aug 2018 (UK\/EU<\/abbr>)<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

40% off – was \u00a315.99 \/ 19,99\u20ac, now \u00a39.59 \/ 11,99\u20ac until 27th Feb 2020<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Okami HD<\/strong><\/a> is an utterly fantastic piece of software, and we feel you\u2019d be doing yourself a disservice to pass on it. It’s a 40-hour adventure that emulates Zelda wonderfully, adds in plenty of memorable mechanics, features one of the most beautiful art styles in gaming, and is completely playable on the go, to boot. It may be showing its age a bit visually and its combat is sometimes a little on the easy side, but Okami is an important, fun, and notable landmark in gaming history \u2014 and one of the easiest recommendations we can make for your Switch library.<\/p>\n

\"Capcom\"Capcom<\/a><\/p>\n
\n

Publisher: <\/span>Capcom<\/strong> \/ Developer: <\/span>Capcom<\/strong><\/p>\n

Release Date: <\/span>18th Sep 2018 (USA<\/abbr>)<\/strong> \/ 18th Sep 2018 (UK\/EU<\/abbr>)<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

50% off – was \u00a315.99 \/ 19,99\u20ac, now \u00a37.99 \/ 9,99\u20ac until 27th Jan 2020<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle<\/a><\/strong> illustrates perfectly why the humble side-scrolling fighter was the toast of video gaming in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Addictive, enjoyable and \u2013 perhaps most important of all \u2013 bloody good fun when played co-operatively with friends, all of the titles in this seven-strong compendium are worth your time, and by adding robust local and multiplayer support, Capcom has done its utmost to ensure they find favour with a whole new generation of gamers. If you’re not a fan of the genre then you may well be wondering what all the fuss is about, but for everyone else, this is a must-have download.<\/p>\n

\"West\"West<\/a><\/p>\n
\n

Publisher: <\/span>Asymetric<\/strong> \/ Developer: <\/span>Asymetric<\/strong><\/p>\n

Release Date: <\/span>31st May 2018 (USA<\/abbr>)<\/strong> \/ 31st May 2018 (UK\/EU<\/abbr>)<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

40% off – was \u00a39.00 \/ 9,00\u20ac, now \u00a35.40 \/ 5,40\u20ac until 5th Feb 2020<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

West of Loathing<\/a><\/strong> is not your average RPG; in fact we\u2019d go so far as to say you\u2019ve probably never played anything quite like it in your life. Its combat won\u2019t blow you away but don\u2019t be lulled into believing that\u2019s what this game is about, as really the whole thing is an adventure in exploration and interaction with a bit of fighting sprinkled in. It can occasionally be a little bit difficult to decipher, but the satisfaction felt upon working out a problem totally makes up for it. The humour is as wonderfully dry as the desert you\u2019re traversing and the writing is some of the best you can find on the Switch. Unless you\u2019ve not got a humorous bone in your body, this is one RPG you can\u2019t risk skipping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"VVVVVV\"VVVVVV<\/a><\/p>\n
\n

Publisher: <\/span>Nicalis<\/strong> \/ Developer: <\/span>Terry Cavanagh<\/strong><\/p>\n

Release Date: <\/span>17th Nov 2017 (USA<\/abbr>)<\/strong> \/ 17th Nov 2017 (UK\/EU<\/abbr>)<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

50% off – was \u00a38.99 \/ 9,99\u20ac, now \u00a34.49 \/ 4,99\u20ac until 5th Feb 2020<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

VVVVVV<\/a><\/strong> still feels every bit as fresh on the Switch as it did on the 3DS in 2010; if you didn’t try it back then you should definitely pick it up now. If you did, now may nevertheless be a good time to revisit. Multiplayer makes the Switch version even more interesting, and this is a game that still serves up an intense and enjoyable challenge. VVVVVV is a fantastic value – especially at this price – and a great addition to the Switch library.<\/p>\n

\n

And with the growing trend of games plummeting to mere pennies, here’s our sub-\u00a31 pick for a super cheap game that’s worth the memory space it takes up on your Switch…<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\"Binaries\"Binaries<\/a><\/p>\n
\n

Publisher: <\/span>Ant Workshop<\/strong> \/ Developer: <\/span>Ant Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n

Release Date: <\/span>28th Sep 2017 (USA<\/abbr>)<\/strong> \/ 28th Sep 2017 (UK\/EU<\/abbr>)<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

90% off – was \u00a39.99 \/ 11,99\u20ac, now \u00a30.99 \/ 1,19\u20ac until 26th Jan 2020<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Binaries<\/a><\/strong> is a decent puzzler that is definitely worth the time of players who can\u2019t resist having a \u2018100%\u2019 icon plastered over their save file and enjoy speed-running through dangerous levels. It doesn\u2019t tend to innovate past its main theme, though \u2013 instead relying on more obstacles, spikes and guns to make things trickier. If you\u2019re desperate for a puzzle game that will have you trying to complete levels over and over again (before feeling a huge amount of satisfaction when you finally complete one you\u2019ve been stuck on), then this may well be for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
