Phil writes, "It was on one of Nintendo's indie showcases that revealed look after look of games that I stumbled upon an intriguing and magical game starring a cute and plump elephant as the hero. The elephant marched around isometric areas, beat up on baddies, collected keys, unlocked doors, and interacted with characters in the mythical world. It appeared very Zelda-like, so -- being that Zelda is one of the my favorite gaming franchises of all time -- I immediately became engaged. Heck, I quite enjoyed FDG Entertainment's Oceanhorn released earlier in the Nintendo Switch's lifespan, and it had a similarly isometric world to be play in. The game is Yono and the Celestial Elephants, available for both Nintendo Switch and Steam, and while it might have been my fault for being so captivated by the picture book esque visual style, charm, and Zelda-like gameplay, I ended up finishing the game with a bit of disappointment."
"It's hard to believe that the Switch has been out for a year already and I'm celebrating its birthday by counting down the best exclusives. There may be a few hidden gems here, too, so free up some memory and let's get to the games!" - A.J.
Fast: RMX and RXN: Raijin are extremely good Switch games that are full exclusives.
Yono and the Celestial Elephants, Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King, Slime-san aren't exclusive to the Switch.
They are console exclusives which is what the list is about. Read: second paragraph.
This is why I haven't bought a Switch yet.Out of those 10 exclusives the only one I see interesting to play is Mario & XBC2.
I have lots for my Switch. You are missing out on some great games. But, it is your choice.
Yono and the Celestial Elephants combines interesting story and fun gameplay into a title that is fun for everyone.
Natalie brings her Yono and The Celestial Elephants Review. It's a cute platformer on Nintendo Switch has some cool ideas, but doesn't quite execute them.
