Adam Vale of The Koalition writes: The Nintendo Switch surprisingly has become my go-to console for playing two of my favorite genres, arcade-style shooters and straight to the point beat’em ups. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a strong dialogue-heavy adventure/action game but more often than not, I just want to jump in a game to shoot bad guys and do some over the top fisticuffs.
Punch and kick your way to rescue your kidnapped boyfriends in River City Girls from WayForward and Arc System Works. Set in the iconic River City brawler franchise, players will mow down waves of enemies and bosses through six colorfully pixelated areas. With inspiration taken from classic arcade games and modern media alike, I was hyped to play this ported gem. While River City Girls came out swinging, my match ended before it ever really began.

"WayForward's River City Girls is an incredible beat 'em up RPG that has spawned a successful franchise and even an artbook. The first game has appeared on every modern platform other than mobile - until now. River City Girls is now available on iOS and Android through Crunchyroll Game Vault. Basically, paying Crunchyroll subscribers get free access to games in the vault, which is a great deal if you're already relying on the service to stream anime," says Co-Optimus.
A solid list of titles highlighted here and definitely worth playing.
