To qualify for this checklist, these video games will need to have been launched as a digital-only Nintendo Swap eShop title in that exact month, and will need to have been reviewed on Nintendo Life; we choose the qualifying video games primarily based on their evaluation scores.
Workers are then requested to vote for 3 video games that they suppose deserve to sit down proper on the very high of that checklist; first alternative will get 3 factors, second alternative will get 2 factors, and third alternative will get 1 level. These votes are then tallied to create a high three checklist, with the general winner taking that month’s high prize.
