Out now on Nintendo
Anyone fortunate enough to have acquired a Nintendo Switch 2 amid early stock shortages can give a retro feel to autumn mess parties with this outstanding arcade pairing.
Air Combat 22 and Ridge Racer were coin-op machine classics of the 1990s – and both stand up superbly on Nintendo’s refreshed console.
While the passing of the decades is graphically evident, the duo still have a slick playability and will be definite big-screen crowd pleasers at social gatherings. Whether blasting enemy aircraft Top Gun -style or driving like a lunatic through city streets, these titles lend themselves to high-score competitions aplenty when paired with cases of beer and sarnies. At £15 each, you cannot go wrong on price either.
Soldier was lucky enough to wrangle a Switch 2 over the summer and has, so-far, been impressed with the upgrade it offers. With a promising spread of titles set for release over the coming months, we’d be happy to hear from any potential reviewers on this platform too.
