NS has produced countless masterpieces in the past five years. There are 70 Nintendo games alone. The games in the store are really dazzling.
But among so many choices, there are still quite a few games that are easily overlooked. Although they are not as big as those three- to four-hundred-yuan masterpieces, they still have excellent quality and are definitely worth playing!
1. Spread your wings and soar
No matter whether you have ever been interested in birds or not, when hundreds of various birds are presented in the form of exquisite cards, you will definitely feel like you can't put it down.
This game originally had a physical board game version and has won many awards. This game on the NS is an officially authorized video game version. (The board game version is really expensive, but it’s really well-made)
The many rare birds on the cards actually show the theme of the game: environmental protection.
As researchers, we need to plan and develop our own nature reserves to attract various species of birds to live here. There are more than 170 kinds of birds of various colors, each with their own unique skills or characteristics, which need to be used to build a rich ecological environment and compete with other players.
Compared with physical board games, the birds in the electronic game version are all "live". Even if you are not a bird lover, you can still be interested in these little guys and get an excellent gaming experience!
2.FEZ
Although the concept of "independent games" was born as early as the last century, due to many problems such as distribution channels and piracy, it was still something in a niche circle until Steam, PSV, and smartphones provided a fertile ground for it.
The game "FEZ" is to a certain extent a pioneer in the rise of independent games and ushering in the golden age.
As an early work in the development of modern independent games, "FEZ" has a history of nearly ten years. Although many works with similar gameplay logic have appeared in the past ten years, it can still make everyone's eyes shine.
The main gameplay of the game is to use the perspective of switching the 3D world to decrypt the world by changing the road under the 2D visual effects.
The design concept of the game is somewhat similar to Sony's "Infinite Corridor", or the more well-known "Monument Valley" and the domestic independent masterpiece "Caged Dreams". But since this game is a 2D platform jumping game, it adds more possibilities in gameplay.
The fresh and cute painting style, challenging logic levels, and handicap-friendly operation difficulty are all the enduring highlights of this game. If you also like this kind of highly interactive puzzle game, you must try this work!
3. Soul Ferryman
This game is a business simulation game about "death". We will play Stella, the soul ferryman, carrying the dead animals on the ship and leading them to the afterlife.
Along the way, we can listen to the animals' respective stories and imagine the wonderful experiences they had during their lives.
In "Animal Crossing", small animals will quarrel and leave. But they won't die. But in this work, the little animals we get along with have all passed away and embarked on the road of reincarnation.
Although these two games are in "two worlds", the "death" in "Soul Ferryman" still brings us the touch of "love". If you're looking for a warm and touching game, this one is definitely worth a try.
4. Picross
The English name of "Picross" is "Picross", so many domestic players call it "Picross".
The scientific name of the game is "number weaving", which uses numbers to "weave" patterns: in a grid, each row and column has a set of numbers. We need to calculate based on these numbers, fill or leave the grid empty, and finally You can use this to get an image.
At first glance it seems quite simple. Indeed, for small patterns such as 9×9, it is quite simple. But in addition to these small patterns, the game also includes super-large grids such as 30×30 and 50×50, which not only tests logical thinking ability, but also is a big challenge to endurance.
It seems like a little brain-training game, but it’s actually very addictive to play, and it’s also a great way to pass the time!
There are currently four "Picross" titles available, S-S7, and S8 will be released within the year.
Of course, not only that, similar gameplay can also be played on other platforms, and some works even have larger and more difficult layouts.
5. Mexican Heroes Clash 2
Nowadays, "Galactic Castlevania" games are popping up everywhere, and excellent works are frequently produced. But perhaps because its style of painting is not very popular, among so many similar games, "Mexican Heroes Melee" is always ignored.
This game is full of Mexican native culture, using extremely absurd and exaggerated expression techniques to tell an unforgettable story. In terms of level design and action design, this game is definitely no worse than the well-known works such as "Hollow" and "Ori".
While the second generation continues the style and atmosphere of the previous game, it also adds a large number of new mechanisms and content, providing a completely different gaming experience from the previous game.
Although its style of painting is rough and the characters are exaggerated and even a little funny, the game has indeed achieved the ultimate in its own style based on the design core of "Metroid Castle".
In addition, the game also includes many Easter eggs that pay tribute to predecessors such as "Metrorod". Players who like this genre must not miss this adventure!

Although the graphics of this game look very simple, as if dreaming back to the FC era, the level and gameplay design are definitely top-notch. Although it is not developed by Nintendo, it has a strong "arbitrary flavor" and a bit of a "Metroid Castle" design.
The standard start-up and transition make the process experience excellent, keeping people surprised and amazed throughout the whole process until the moment the game is cleared.
The character's head and body can be separated. This is what is called "split action" [face covering]
Through the electrification characteristic of the head, the scene objects it comes into contact with can be energized, resulting in two states of on or off, and can pass through various mechanisms.
After throwing the electrified head out, the player can only operate the body and must pick up the head within 10 seconds, otherwise he will die. Many levels require you to take advantage of this by throwing your head on a mechanism to electrify it, thereby opening a path, and then maneuver your body around to pick up the head.
This design makes the puzzles in the level very rich and keeps people eye-catching throughout the whole process.
Although the game only lasts for a short 3 hours, the majong is small and has all the internal organs, and the level experience in one go is definitely worth a try!
7. An opportunity
This game is a unique independent game. It has been launched on PC a few years ago and has received rave reviews on Steam.
There are many meta elements in the game, which are settings that break the fourth wall similar to "The Stanley Parable" and "Ashe". But this game is not a meta game, it just has some meta elements embellished as seasoning.
The gameplay, story and other aspects of this game have been achieved to the extreme. Coupled with the meta elements, it can stand out from the crowd of independent games and become an almost perfect independent masterpiece. Every player who has played it will be familiar with it. This work is unforgettable!
The PC version of the game does not run in full screen, but has many small windows. We need to switch between different windows to play the game.
In order to reproduce this gameplay on the Internet, the version will contain a virtual desktop that looks like a system and display a series of windows required for the game on it.
This game will be launched on September 22nd, interested friends can pay attention!
8. Bird Lawyer’s Event Book
This game is a court debate adventure game that was launched on the PC platform as early as 2015 and received a 95% praise rate (rave reviews).
The story takes place in France in 1848. We will play the role of a raptor lawyer, accepting commissions, interviewing witnesses, collecting evidence, and delivering justice in court with the help of assistants.
This game is deeply influenced by the style of "Ace Attorney". It is very interesting in terms of character development without losing its logical rigor. The lines in the game are also very funny, bringing a lot of humor to serious court cases.
If you are a fan of the "Ace Attorney" series, but are suffering from the lack of new games in this series, you might as well give this game a try, it will definitely satisfy you!
The game will be launched in 2022, and the official Chinese version will be added for the first time. The previous PC version has not been in Chinese. This time everyone can finally fully enjoy the fun of this game!
