A short hike
One of the games that stood out the most in 2020 is A short hike. In it you control a little bird named Claire, while trying to climb a mountain. The game has a very satisfying progression system, based on the objective of finding golden feathers that help Claire to fly higher. Along the way you meet a very different cast of characters, from hapless climbers trying to climb the mountain to feather traders. The endgame is definitely worth the investment.
A Short Hike na nintendo eshopFlorence
Also found for iOS, the home of this brief novel is the Nintendo Switch. Here we find the beginning, duration and end of the romance between a young accountant and a saxophone player. With very simple mechanics (after all, it is possible to play on mobile) the game is filled with passion and many emotions, containing wonderful animations that do justice to the small and pleasant moments that bring a relationship.
FLORENCE AT NINTENDO ESHOP FLORENCE FOR IOSSayonara Wild Hearts
Sayonara Wild Hearts is an intense action game and one of the most stylish titles in the Nintendo Switch currently. In the game, you are a woman trying to gather her broken heart while running, jumping and riding her motorcycle through the stages that have a strong neon concept along with their strong point: the soundtrack. This game is all about reflex and it's worth repeating the plays to get the best performance as it syncs with the music and settings.

What Remains of Edith Finch
Winner of the Best Narrative award by The Game Awards, I highly suggest checking out this game that combines its environmental narrative very well with its great interactive mechanics. You play as Edith Finch, who returns to her family's "cursed" house to investigate the deaths of her relatives, reliving her experiences as she finds fragments of diaries lying around the house. Using imaginative artifices, the protagonist sees the tragedies of her family in a very fanciful way.
What Remains of Edith Finch NA NINTENDO ESHOPGrey
Grey is an exciting 2D game with light touches of watercolor that fill the environment as you move through levels that can be ruins, deserts or skies, trying to leave all the stain of sadness behind. The game has a very interesting progress system, as well as very cool maneuvers that help you navigate the delicate stages. Grey, above all, is about bringing color to the gray world with the dress that changes the shape of the protagonist, which is also an artistic inspiration for those who see it.
GRIS NA NINTENDO ESHOPDonut County
It's not necessarily about a donut, it's about a raccoon that controls a hole and sucks things up (and ends up shaped like a donut). You guide the hole through the levels and consume everything possible: rocks, objects, animals… depending on how much you've got, you can even swallow cars and buildings. For those who don't have much time to invest in a complex game, this one, which is simple but well-crafted, promises to have a lot of fun.

Katana Zero
If none of the titles caught your eye, this one probably will. Katana Zero it is carried out by a samurai who shouts his katana without any fear. This is a very violent game containing blades, shots and maneuvers, not to mention the blood that stains the scene when it lands a fatal blow, bringing action game consumers a lot of satisfaction. In addition, there is also the function to return to the beginning of the level when something does not go as planned.
KATANA ZERO NA NINTENDO ESHOPGato Roboto
While we wait for Metroid, how about wearing an armor similar to that of Samus and face the enemies being a… cat? That's right, with a conceptually retro graphic, Gato Roboto brings all that sci-fi atmosphere in which gamers of Nintendo already know. And if that wasn't enough, it's also possible to eject from the costume and play with just the kitten.
GATO ROBOTO NA NINTENDO ESHOPGone Home
Of course we couldn't help but mention Gone Home. Lots of suspense, a soundtrack that keeps you on your toes and several low-light scenarios – by the way – this game that is a bit like Life Is Strange, brings an investigation into an abandoned house where you must solve riddles and puzzles to understand what happened there and how to get out of there as quickly as possible. It is not very common to see this type of game in the catalog of Nintendo, but this one is definitely worth checking out.
Gone Home NA NINTENDO ESHOPPikuniku
With lots of creative characters and clever puzzles, you'll be immersed in a world full of colors in Pikuniku. Excellent choice to kill that idle time or to have fun with a friend, the game was thought very intelligently in both modes. You control Piku, a red being who is known as a “beast” by the neighbors and fights Mr. Sunshine who wants to destroy the local cornfield.
Pikuniku NA NINTENDO ESHOPCadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda
This is probably the one with the longest duration of the list and also the biggest title, we have here a game of the franchise Zelda which is in the mold of the game Crypt of the NecroDancer. You play not only as Cadence, who has just woken up by chance in Hyrule, but also as the warrior Link and the esteemed princess Zelda. With wonderful graphics and impeccable soundtrack, the game manages to bring together the best of both games in a mixture that no one expected. Anyone who already liked either of the two titles will undoubtedly love this game. We also have a review of Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda.
Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda NA NINTENDO ESHOPGorogoa
The creativity put into this game is outstanding. You must solve puzzles as you imagine what the scene should look like. In several illustrations that refer to pictures, as if in an effect “inside the other”, you fit the pieces, combining the elements and assembling what the level would actually like to show. This game has already passed through our website standing out as the best puzzle game for Android and also noticed by Apple being voted best game iPad in 2018.
GOROGOA NA NINTENDO ESHOPCircular Subsurface
Predecessor of the title Quarantine Circular, Circular Subsurface is a game about interpersonal relationships and investigation. All this takes place in a utopian future where humans, machines and robots coexist. You are a detective robot and must talk to other characters with unique personalities to unravel the mystery where several other robots are missing. Collect information and clues, solve the puzzles and get to the long-awaited truth.

In this game you literally are a goose, but not only that, to complete the challenges and proceed to the next level you must provoke the humans. Stealing someone's pipe, untying a boy's shoelaces and even throwing a person's mail into a lake are some of the many challenges posed to this naughty goose. If your life is too right and you lack a little emotion, this is the right game for you to unleash your rebellious side.

If you lived through the 80s/90s and are full of nostalgia or are you just someone who knows the time and wants to know it a little more, 198x it's a full plate. The game consists of telling the life of a boy who is in the 80s and, in his prime, is discovering himself and understanding how things work. He really likes video games and we experience with him every game he goes through and identifies with: from street fights to RPGs. The colors, the soundtrack and all the history involved bring the emotion of the time.
