Astral ChainĪstral Chain is PlatinumGames at its best. Release Date: Septem| Developer: Nintendo, Grezzo | IGN's Link's Awakening Video Review | IGN’s Link's Awakening Wiki | Buy It Here: Amazon 23. IGN's review called it "a fantastic Zelda adventure that’s aged like wine, even if Wii U-era motion controls still aren’t great."
It modernizes the classic beloved Zelda game with a shiny new coat of paint, some excellent quality of life improvements, and loads more hidden collectibles but, ultimately, its greatest accomplishment is retaining the weird, haunting, beautiful feeling of the original Game Boy game.Īnother Zelda remake, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, was released in July. Link’s shipwrecked adventure on a mysterious island rife with eccentric characters and sprawling dungeons has always been one of the stranger Zelda stories, and this remake allows new audiences and aging fans alike to appreciate it on a modern system. With its charming, toyetic visual style and bizarrely dark undertones, the vast island of Koholint in The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening has never looked better than it does on Nintendo Switch.

Ring Fit Adventure made our list of the best Nintendo Switch exclusives. It proves that exercising can be fun - especially whenF it’s thousands of dollars cheaper than hiring a personal trainer, too. By strapping the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con to your leg and with the strange, brilliant new Ring-Con peripheral, Ring Fit encourages you to use your whole body to battle monsters, collect coins, level up, and push past your personal bests - all while giving you a serious workout within the confines of your living room. Ring Fit Adventure fixes both of those problems by gamifying exercise and letting you work out from home while somehow making the entire experience feel like a fun, casual RPG. Sure, exercising is good for you, but it’s got two pretty big drawbacks: one, it costs a lot of money to join a gym and, two, it’s kind of boring.
