Best Switch Games to Have on Your Radar in May 2018

Shantae, Half-Genie Hero, switch

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is another platformer game coming to the Switch this month, and the Ultimate Edition brings players all of the previously released content and characters. Just like in previous games in the series, the titular Shantae can use her hair to attack enemies, and she also has the ability to transform into different animals to get past obstacles and other platforming challenges.

The stages can all be replayed, and players are encouraged to revisit past challenges once they’ve unlocked new abilities to find optional paths. The game itself is gorgeous, featuring beautiful 2D pixel aesthetics, which make it a nice fit for the Switch.
