STILL SWITCHING

Sega Mega Drive Classics Collection Switch This retro compendium has been available elsewhere for an age – it first launched for PC in 2010 – but Switch feels like its natural home. With PlayStation Classic such a disappointment, this faultless selection of games, generous array of graphics filters and pleasingly daft ‘90s-living-room UI is a timely reminder that retro classics, when done this well, can still be quite a delight.

Into The Breach Switch The Edge Awards are always an awkward time: everyone’s exhausted from the Q4 rush and needs a break, and now we have to go to a meeting room for a three-hour series of arguments. But the deliberation process is also an excuse to revisit some of the year’s best games. Into The Breach was already brilliant on PC. On Switch, it’s perilously close to being perfect.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Switch One boards a long-haul flight with such noble intentions. Some transcription, a preview or two, perhaps an arthouse film. Then you realise your brain and body are mush. Toad’s bite-sized puzzle-boxes prove a perfect tonic, each short-lived level a shot of energy and joy administered straight to the frazzled eyeballs. In Uptown Downtown and its New Donk City theme we might finally have found the cure to jetlag.
