Recently, we sent our American video producer Zion Grassl to PAX West 2022 to try out the latest and greatest games coming out in the near future.
Now that he's completed his assignment, he's put together the above video - where he and his friend, Zach Driscoll, share their impressions about all the games they played. Keep in mind, that not all of them have necessarily been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch just yet, but at least some should show up on the hybrid system in time.
Below is a round-up of the games played, along with a full rundown of each one in the video above. Enjoy!

All these games look great, but where's Peggle 3?
Can't wait for more NecroDancer.
Nice feature Liam! Some games I'd never heard of there. I used to love PAX but haven't been in many years.
Swapette Showdown, a Panel de Pon clone with a twist?
Nothing of interest there to me. Maybe Demonschool just for the TRPG, but I don't really care about reliving highschool nonsense.
Forgot about Mina! That one's gonna rule.
I really like Demon School!
