Master realistic swordplay that corresponds to your movements

“Swing into action on Nintendo Switch —anytime, anywhere!
Barrel-blast into a critically acclaimed Donkey Kong adventure as this beloved franchise makes its Nintendo Switch™ debut with a banana-bunch of new features. Traverse islands packed with platforming perfection and nonstop action as the classic Kongs in the original game, or mix things up by playing the story as Funky Kong in new Funky Mode!

For a more accessible experience, start a game in Funky Mode to enjoy a range of gameplay updates and a new main-character option, spectacular surfing simian Funky Kong! His extra hearts and unique abilities make for a more relaxed gaming experience. And no matter which mode you choose, a wealth of collectibles and two-player co-op round out the fun!”
Oh yeah, this is a fun one. I don’t really like the newer DKC titles compared to the original trio but they’re still pretty cool. Speaking of which, the Switch version of (paid link) Donkey Kong Country Returns is worth checking out.

P5R for $18? Not bad at all. Still can’t vouch for how the Switch plays though, since I did just get my copy recently.

“Experience the classic murder-mystery with 10th anniversary bonus features!
Danganronpa arrives on Nintendo Switch™ to celebrate its 10th anniversary! Danganronpa 10th Anniversary Release: Part 1!
Hope’s Peak Academy is home to Japan’s best and brightest high school students—the beacons of hope for the future. But that hope suddenly dies when Makoto Naegi and his classmates find themselves imprisoned in the school, cut off from the outside world and subject to the whims of a strange, murderous little bear named Monokuma. He pits the students against each other, promising freedom to anyone who can murder a fellow classmate and get away with it.
It’s up to you to find out who Monokuma really is, and why you’ve been taken from the world you once knew. But be careful what you wish for—sometimes there’s nothing more deadly than the truth…
This 10th Anniversary edition comes with a gallery feature that allows you to view event illustrations, scenes, and listen to voiced dialogue!”
I don’t have hardly any experience with this game or series. Downs could tell you way more than I could. He did platinum all 4 titles on the Vita after all. Still, less than $5? Good deal there.
