In this article, we present four Switch games that the author enjoyed in 2018. We think you'll find each of these games engrossing and fun to play, so we encourage you to give them a try.

Pokémon: Let's Go! Pikachu.

Pokemon

Suggested retail price (including tax): 6,458 yen

(November 16, 2018)

Developed based on the "Pokémon: Pikachu Version" released as a Game Boy software, this game is "This is a modern-day 'Pokémon'! I thought. The new adventure in the Canto region is a game that will be interesting not only for new users, but also for old fans and users who played the game in elementary school, but who are still playing .......

One major change from the Game Boy version is that there are no longer any battles with wild Pokémon. Basically, the game uses the same method as "Pokemon Go," which became a worldwide hit on smartphones, and the main focus is on catching Pokemon. Since experience values can be acquired by capturing Pokémon, Pokémon training has become easier.

I wondered if I would have trouble buying Monster Balls since the main focus is on catching Pokémon, but this does not seem to be a problem, as there are now men who give Monster Balls to players.

However, this does not mean that battles have been eliminated. Battles now take place only with Pokémon Trainers (you will battle with some Pokémon). The presentation is so powerful that you will feel as if the Pokémon are fighting right in front of you.

If you have a Nintendo Switch, I highly recommend you play it. Let's get Pokémon, everyone!

OCTOPATH TRAVELER

SQUARE ENIX

Suggested retail price (including tax): 7,344 yen

(July 13, 2018)

This title captured the hearts of RPG fans with its retro graphics and battle system. If you have played many of the classic Super Nintendo RPGs, this title will bring back fond memories of the past.

What is most noteworthy about this title is its graphics: the world is depicted in "HD-2D" graphics, a more advanced version of 2D games. The recent trend in games is to explore vast worlds in 3D, but I think this game has brought the charm of the good old Japanese RPG, "JRPG," to game fans around the world.

Speaking of RPGs, battles are the most important part of RPGs. This title is a royal turn-based command battle, but what makes it even more strategic is a system called "Command Boost. Using points accumulated over the course of a turn, players can enhance their actions at their own timing. The game is a hotly contested game of when to use the command boost to launch a powerful attack or use it to help an ally. The enemies are also quite tough, and I enjoyed searching for the best solution for each turn.

Why don't you enjoy the goodness of JRPGs anytime, anywhere with a switch?

Golf Story

Fly High Works

Suggested retail price (including tax)

(March 9, 2018)

With the catchphrase "All you need is a club and a ball, and you're golfing!" This golf RPG with the catchphrase "If you have a club and a ball, it's already golf!" has been attracting attention even before its release as an indie game. The Japanese version of the game was localized by Fly High Works, which translated the text after actually playing the game, so the text is easy for Japanese to understand.

If you read the conversations with people on the map, you can tell that a lot of care was put into the translation.

As a golf game, the controls are simple; all you have to do is decide the direction and power of the ball. You can play it like a retro golf game. In addition, there are various places where you can hit the ball, and small missions are hidden. Finding the hidden missions is part of the fun. The goal in the main story is to become a pro, but it might be interesting to play while taking a side trip.

We hope you enjoy playing this title, which was highly acclaimed around the world among indie games.
