We’re into October, which means it’s time for our six-monthly callout for Games We Missed, the series where the Nintendo Life community sends in their recommendations for tasty Switch games that slipped through our review net.

Back in April we highlighted 31 Switch 1 and 2 games, large and small, that we weren’t able to cover with a review, including such gems as Battle Suit Aces, Death Howl, Lovish, Öoo, and TR-49.

With more Switch 2 games dropping on the eShop every week, you can expect to see more of those crop up this time. To submit a game for Switch 1 and/or 2 that we haven’t reviewed, send us your recommendations as per the guidelines below, and we’ll showcase as many as we can.

As always, a reminder: We won’t be reviewing these games! But we’re eager to highlight anything you’ve enjoyed which you believe deserves more love on the eShop.

Submission guidelines

  • 100-word limit – Keep it brief! A history of the genre and deep-dive into every mechanic is unnecessary. Concentrate on what the game is about, what sets it apart from other games, and why you enjoyed it.
  • One entry per game – Feel free to send your thoughts on multiple games, but there’s no need to duplicate.
  • Choose only games that we haven’t reviewed on the site – To check if a Nintendo Life review exists, simply type the name of the game into the search box at the very top of the page (look for the magnifying glass icon in the top-left corner) and click on the game page that appears. If there’s no review, and it doesn’t appear in a previous Reader Recommendations feature (which will also appear on the game page if it exists), you’re good to go!

How to send a recommendation

  • Head to Nintendo Life’s Contact page and select the subject “Switch eShop Hidden Gems” from the drop-down menu (it’s already done for you in the link above). Type your name, email, and beautifully crafted message into the appropriate box, hit send, and Bob’s your uncle!

We’re looking forward to seeing what you recommend!
