Originally launching via Kickstarter, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is one of the most successful games in crowd-funded history.

The best thing about the Switch port of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled on Switch is that it's often easy to forget you're even playing on a handheld.

Of course, there are cutbacks in current-gen comparisons - most noticeable when playing docked - but this is an accomplished port nonetheless.
