Well, this is definitely a Nintendo Switch Online update. For those who watch these Review Crew episodes, you know that what we do here is dig up classic magazine reviews for all the old school games released on the Nintendo Switch Online service. That’s normally pretty easy, since we’re pulling reviews from not only American and British magazines, but pretty much any publication written in English. However, this is not a normal week, with only one of the four games having received a proper American release back in the day. This week’s Nintendo Switch Online releases include Quest for Camelot, Kirby’s Star Stacker, Downtown Nekketsu March: Super-Awesome Field Day and Joy Mech Fight. That’s a pretty cool (and completely random) list of games, but are any of them worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Computer + Video Games, Nintendo Power and ... well, pretty much just those two magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. Brace yourself, because this is going to be the worst and most frustrating episode of the Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew. Just know that I tried my hardest, I really did.
