Haunted Castle Revisited mini review

I played the OG and this remake back-to-back, and basically I came away thinking they’re a lot closer in quality than people have been saying. I didn’t think the original was as bad as has been established, and I also didn’t think the remake is god’s gift to gaming.

I will say in fairness that this guy is an open-and-shut case as an improvement over its predecessor, which was a jank-fest.

The animation and graphics are clear upgrades, and a lot of the cheapness has been smoothed over. If you’re choosing between the two, I think this is the obvious winner.

But I also thought it was too easy and short an experience. It’s more of a curiosity than a full gaming experience. That puts a cap on how much I’d be willing to praise it.

So ultimately it’s pretty fun and a clear upgrade, but don’t use this as a reason to buy the Dominus Collection.

The top 10 Nintendo Switch games

Hey y’all, I thought I would take a short diversion from regular programming to talk about the Nintendo Switch for a little while.

The system’s successor, the aptly named “Switch 2,” makes its debut in, well, several hours at this point, meaning the old trusty Switch is going to be on its last legs in terms of product support going forward.

This gives us the perfect reason to celebrate the Switch by talking about what it did so darn well. For me, with all apologies to its unique trailblazing nature as a home/portable hybrid console, that’s primarily the looooooong list of great games it housed.

I wanted to hone in on some of the highlights of that killer library – the true cream of the crop – and so I started to think about things in terms of the Switch’s “Mt. Rushmore,” the games that were truly stellar and synonymous with the system.

That list quickly grew beyond four, so I decided, let’s go for an even 10 and call it a day.

The following are in my view the 10 most impactful, representative, elite games on the Nintendo Switch … with a few caveats beforehand.
