Nintendo has announced Bandai Namco's Switch Online title PAC-MAN 99 will be shutting down on 8th October 2023.

VGChartz's Christian Evans: "The last person alive, Battle Royale-inspired genre is strong here, as games like Crab Game and Pac-Man 99 demonstrate. However, as Big Brain Academy: Brain vs Brain and the Jackbox series highlight, there's a thirst for somewhat more cerebral quiz-based party games, especially in the streaming arena. Not to be left out is the under-explored party game application for VR, with 2021’s Potato Party: Hash It Out trying to make an impact here. And of course there are the perennial Nintendo staples in this field: Mario Party and WarioWare."

"Without a doubt, 2021 had some truly stand-out titles so here are the very best games from big-name developers and publishers." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
