A technical fighter hidden behind cartoon ponies, surprisingly deep and demanding. The rollback netcode is excellent, though the community stays small. Charming and approachable on the surface, fierce once you dig in.

Them's Fightin' Herds (Nintendo Switch) price, value & rarity
Cartoon ponies, unicorns and assorted critters square off in a versus that's easy to grasp yet hides real technical depth. The low entry barrier breeds friendly rivalries where everyone visibly improves session after session. Tight rounds and sudden comebacks turn into memorable duels, and one extra controller is all it takes to spark another evening of trash talk.
