7. Nintendo World Championship: FC World Congress
Game Type: Action Pass
Release date: 07/18/2024
Nintendo's "Masterpiece of Fantasy" has been released, and an old game that has never been released has been resurrected on Switch.
In fact, this game was a cassette that collected clips from multiple games and played games in 1990 when the NES console was promoted in the United States.
Because the game is for promotional purposes, the collection is all game clips, so it is not officially released. The gold version was once hyped up to $90,000 in the collector's world, which can be described as a card nobility.
The Switch version collects 13 competitive levels of the game, such as Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc., with a total of more than 150 challenges.
Now, of course, the game's graphics are lackluster, but the gameplay hasn't disappeared, and you can challenge yourself for your best score.
It can support up to 8 players to challenge on the same screen, win with speed or skill, and be perfect for having fun with friends at a party.
We don't say anything about you stir-frying a 3DS and Wii cold rice, after all, the picture quality is acceptable. But Nintendo's translation of this remake is indeed a bit excessive, and the perfunctory attitude towards the Switch is obvious.
Although the Switch has reached the end of its life and is still the main force of Nintendo, I still hope to have a few games that support the façade, not just fried cold rice.
Overall recommendation: 4 stars ★★★★
8. "F1 Team Manager 2024"
Game Type: Business Simulation
Release date: 2024/07/23
F1 Manager debuts on the Switch platform.

The game provides a new mindset system and flexible contract negotiations, and the improvement of AI capabilities increases the probability of poaching our employees and drivers, which needs to be dealt with reasonably.
The performance of the car during the race has been improved compared to its predecessor, and a new dynamic camera perspective has been added. Players need to develop a winning strategy for each race and give instructions to the drivers. But be careful, even the most powerful strategy can be ruined by a small mechanical glitch.

The game continues with "The Trail of Li", where Vane, a young man who works as a "house of everything" in Edith, the capital of the Republic of Calvard, receives a mysterious job and slowly connects with the world until it changes the world.
The game still uses turn-based combat, with the addition of a new "power guide" system, as well as quick magic releases, which are more convenient to operate.
The plot is written in chapters, with eight chapters, each telling the story of Vane and his companions, and bringing them together for the final battle.
The game's side story is huge, even better than the main story. The system is designed with "high-speed combat" at the beginning, which is relatively refreshing to play.
Overall recommendation: 4 stars ★★★★

Compared with the previous "One Piece" works that were faithful to the original book, this work unexpectedly uses an original plot to tell the story of Luffy and his gang being washed up on a desert island, deprived of all their abilities by a mysterious girl, recalling the original process, and starting to grow up.

The game takes the form of an RPG, and the characters can freely explore the island, step into the door of memories to fight, complete side quests, and so on.
The form of combat is relatively simple, using the form of bright thunder, and the means are mainly mutual restraint of skill, strength, and agility.
