Collect these specialties to earn points, and then conquer each prefecture on the right side of the screen. The number of points required to conquer each prefecture varies depending on the size of the prefecture. Even if you don't know anything about the prefecture, you can learn about geography by saying "I didn't know it was this big! It will be a good way to learn about geography.

When you conquer a prefecture, you will receive a crazy message that says, "Toyama Prefecture is now Gunma Prefecture.

The number of squares on the card is the number of squares the ball can advance. 2 means 2 squares, 3 means 3 squares, and so on. Note that if the ball hits the wall, it will advance one square. The player must cut cards while considering the number of squares remaining, and try to get the ball into the cup.

When you hit the ball, you will feel like you are playing an action-packed golf game. Redoing the game can be done with a single button, making it very easy to play. It is a stage-clearing type game, so you can challenge yourself in a little time. Try playing this easy-to-play golf game.

The last title we will introduce here is "Puzzle Quest," which was a big hit on the Nintendo DS and PSP in the past. As the name suggests, it is an RPG with puzzles. In addition to puzzles, there is a storyline, competitive quests, and other challenging elements.

The story is a fantasy tale of "sword and sorcery," the royal road of RPGs, but the graphics of each character have been updated for the Nintendo Switch, making them even more beautiful. The main character's profession can be chosen by the player, and each profession has its own story to tell.

The battle system is the most interesting part of the game. Match-3 puzzles are used in the game. Match-3 puzzle is a system in which three or more identical drops must be connected in order to be erased. Each drop also has its own meaning, and skulls can damage the enemy if they are erased. However, it is important to note that if you leave a skull unattended, it will be attacked. You can enjoy tense battles, so check out this title that is a miraculous fusion of RPG and puzzle. （New Samurai)
