All in all, Nintendo's had a pretty great year so far. While some big AAA games like Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp were delayed, and Switch sales are technically down from last year, which isn't saying much, the beloved video game publisher was still able to deliver some of the most entertaining gaming experiences of the first half of the year, bringing out Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Next up is Museum D'Alfonsino, another Splatoon 1 map defined by its rotating platforms and wide-open courtyard. Mahi-Mahi Resort is yet another
