Update: We’ve given this list a sneaky tidy-up to ensure we’re recommending only the very best stealth games on Nintendo Switch. We’ve also added two brand-new entries — Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and the newly released Hitman: Blood Money — Reprisal.
For all the gun-blazing, whip-cracking, all-out action, and mayhem there is to enjoy in video games, sometimes a change of pace is needed. All that one-note violence can get boring, no? Why not eliminate that patrolling guard or spittle-covered demon in a more sophisticated manner; something more understated than a rocket launcher to the face?

A bright future.
The gaming industry is going digital. Chants of “it’s easy,” “it uses less plastic,” and “it’s cheaper… sometimes,” fill the streets and, after dark, tempting eShop sales let out their siren song to pull in any weary traveller after a boxed copy with sweet calls of “Oooh, ahh, up to 80% off”.
The times may be a-changing, but within this (potentially) download-only future, there sits a brave group of stewards who wish for a simpler time. A time when games came in boxes and were bought from stores. A time when all of those boxes contained a cartridge and on that cartridge was a full game. A time when those cartridges were made of brightly coloured plastic and looked even more edible than they do now.

Capturing those ‘mons.
Welcome to another edition of What Are You Playing?, where we find out which games we’re going to be chilling out with this weekend.
Before we get into that, though, let’s go over what’s been happening this week. Naturally, there’s been a lot of Palworld discussion, and perhaps the most noteworthy event was when The Pokémon Company itself made a statement regarding the game’s potential infringement on the firm’s property.

It’s “absolutely” launching in 2024.
The farm and lifestyle simulation Stardew Valley is getting a sizable update soon, and if you’ve been wondering about the status of its progress, Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone has now shared a new update.
In a brief message on social media, the developer mentioned how he was finally done with adding “major new content” and was focused on bug-fixing and polishing until it was ready to go. He also can’t wait for everyone to try it out when it does arrive.

Recall your time.
Nintendo has kicked off 2024 with a rather unexpected remake in Another Code: Recollection, which bundles together Ashley Mizuki Robbins’ two adventures from the DS and Wii era. Beloved by those who played it back in the day, the Switch version is the first time many people have been able to experience the mystery of Ashley’s family. While the first game, Another Code: Two Memories (or Trace Memory) saw a worldwide release, Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories never launched in North America.
Arc System Works has taken the reins in what is a far departure from the studio’s usual gaming output — perhaps we’ll see Ashley in a future Guilty Gear game?

Taiwan-t to see it all.
Nintendo underlined its omnipresence in the Asian gaming market with a stacked booth at this week’s Taipei Game Show, where crowds of Taiwanese gamers have been piling in to snap photos with an animatronic Kirby and try out tentpole titles like Super Mario Wonder.

Notebooks and tote bags and pins, oh my!

Just this week, we got a look at a brand-new trailer and some tie-in pastel pink Joy-Con, so it seems only right that Nintendo would start to advertise the upcoming game’s pre-order bonuses now too.
