It's the end of 2022, and Nintendo has given players access to their Switch stats for the year as part of its Year in Review. This works almost identically to Sony's 2022 PlayStation Wrap-Up, which recaps players' gaming stats for the year.

This is my must-buy Nintendo Switch game for Black Friday 2024
A red Pikmin looks around in Pikmin 4.

If there's one Switch game I can't recommend enough, it's Pikmin 4. The series expertly walks the tightrope between being a cute, whimsical adventure and a strategy game that needs serious planning to complete, exciting casual Switch players looking to hang out with some oddball little plant friends while keeping the attention of serious speedrunners and strategists. Whether you're seriously invested in saving the lives of the crashed spacecraft crew (more on that later) or you want to see how many little colorful buddies you can pluck out of the ground, Pikmin 4 is quite an adventure and one of the best games on Switch.

If you’re new to the Pikmin series, Pikmin 4 is an excellent place to start. It preserves the charm of its predecessors while refining the occasionally tricky control scheme and adjusting the story to be more accessible for newcomers. First-party title sales in the Nintendo Switch ecosystem are fairly rare — it’s not uncommon for them to remain at launch-day prices for years — so the Black Friday discount for this title is a blessing. You can  (a whopping 50% discount).

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic will bring PC nostalgia to Nintendo Switch
A very long white rollercoaster going from one edge of the image to another.

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic has been on mobile and Steam for many years, and it's finally coming to Nintendo Switch this December, Atari announced Thursday. It's available for preorder now on the eShop for $25.

Classic is actually a remastered bundle of the first two RollerCoaster Tycoon games and the three expansion packs: Toolkit, Wacky Worlds, and Time Twister, created by Chris Sawyer. The first debuted in 1999, and it set the standard for some of our favorite management sims. The series has staying power, too, although a lot of the recent entries have all been on mobile, especially for iOS. Atari released RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, which was made in conjunction with Sawyer, for iOS and Android in 2016, and on Steam in 2017. And by all accounts, despite its age, Classic is absolutely worth the time.

Your video game consoles could become much more expensive soon

People have a lot of questions about what a second Donald Trump presidential administration will look like, and one of the big concerns surrounds proposed tariffs on foreign imports, with larger ones targeted for China. If these are passed, it could signal a big change in how video game hardware and software is manufactured and could lead to increased costs for players.

Digital Trends spoke to analysts about the potential impact that tariffs could have on tech like game consoles. As of this writing, the proposal is to implement a 10% or 20% tariff on all imports, but a specific 60% tariff on Chinese imports. Some analysts we reached out to declined to comment on the impact of the tariffs because while Trump has discussed a plan, it hasn't gone into effect and might not. Others, like Serkan Toto of Japanese games industry consulting firm Kantan, warned that consumers could be the ones paying the cost if plans go into effect.
