How we determine our eShop Selects high three: As we attain the top of each month, the Nintendo Life employees vote on their favorite titles from a listing of video games chosen by the editorial group. To qualify for this checklist, these video games will need to have been launched as a digital-only Nintendo Swap eShop title in that individual month, and will need to have been reviewed on Nintendo Life; we choose the qualifying video games based mostly on their overview scores.
Workers are then requested to vote for 3 video games that they suppose deserve to take a seat proper on the very high of that checklist; first selection will get three factors, second selection will get two factors, and third selection will get one level. These votes are then tallied to create a top-three checklist, with the general winner taking that month’s high prize.
