The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is a beautiful game with a unique twist on the Zelda formula. This is a less common instance in a Zelda game where the main villain is not Ganondorf, but is instead Vaati. The princess is turned to stone and the Picori Blade that was protecting the kingdom was destroyed. The Picori are creatures that only appear to children, putting Link in charge of taking the blade to them to repair it. The visuals and colors render beautifully on the Switch and the charming twist of shrinking in size and a talking cap is a magical experience all Zelda fans should have.

Taking Mario games in a new direction is the Game Boy game Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. You get to play as Mario and Luigi consecutively and in partnership with Bowser to save Princess Peach’s voice. If you’re familiar with Paper Mario, the turn-based battle system makes a return here. This game really shook up the usual Mario routine, so it’s not surprise that Nintendo considered this one of the top Game Boy Advance games to place on Nintendo Switch Online. It’s definitely worth a play.
