Nintendo announced Super Mario Maker 2 for the Nintendo Switch during today’s Nintendo Direct, coming out this June. I’ve been hoping for this one. It’ll have (quoting the press release) “…access to even more tools, items and features.”
Also announced:
- More details for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, exclusive to the Switch, out this summer.
- Box Boy + Box Girl announced for Switch, 270 stages, April 26th, 2019. It’s a beloved puzzle game from everyone I know who has played it, this version will have co-op.
- Super Smash Bros Ultimate 3.0 Update and new Amiibos. No details on the update yet.
- Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is getting new levels for the Switch version and two-player co-op. Out today. New paid DLC out now as well. More on March 14th.
- Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is out this summer. This was just a video clip telling us about the Miriam character.
- Dragon Quest Builders 2 will have co-op and first-person mode when it comes out on July 12th. It’ll also be on the PlayStation 4.
- Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age: Definitive Edition: S: out this Fall. I fell asleep briefly during this trailer.
- Disney Tsum Tsum Festival: I will never understand the tsum tsum thing. It looks a little like Mario Party, but probably worse and with weirdly long, rectangular, characters in the tsum tsum style. No specific release date for this, just “2019.”
- Starlink: Battle for Atlas gets an exclusive Switch spring update with new Star Fox missions. April.
- Rune Factory 4 Special “Battle along townsfolk and before long you may become more than just friends” out “later this year.”
- Rune Factory 5 is announced, no info, just a logo.
- Square’s got a new action RPG called ONINAKI. Out this summer.
- Yoshi’s Crafted World. March 29th. Free demo out today.
- Fire Emblem: Three Houses is anime as heck. There’s two editions out on the new delayed date of July 26th. This trailer just talked about plot details until I fell asleep again. Where is Advance Wars?
- Tetris® 99: It’s an online Tetris battle royale. It’s “free-to-download” today.
- Dead by Daylight’s Switch port looks like a PSP port of a PS2 game. It’ll be out this Fall.
- Deltarune: Chapter 1 is out on the Switch for free this month, February 28th. I think it’s an Undertale sequel, but I didn’t get far in that game. The trailer reminds us that further chapters won’t be free.
- Daemon X Machina gets a free, limited-time to download, “prototype missions” demo today. If you play it you might get an e-mail survey where you get to act as a focus tester for the game. Who doesn’t like doing work for for-profit businesses for free? The game is supposed to be out this summer.
- GRID Autosport is coming to the Switch. The framerate looks real bad during certain parts of this trailer, ouch. Summer 2019.
- Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is getting a Switch port this Spring.
- Mortal Kombat 11 is out this April 23rd on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and now we know it’ll have a Switch port at launch.
- Unravel two is getting a Switch port on March 22nd.
- Assassin’s Creed III Remastered also has a Switch port out on May 21st. It’s out for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC’s on March 29th. “In addition to the full game, Assassin’s Creed III Remastered also includes all of its original post-launch content” […] “Also included is Assassin’s Creed III Liberation Remastered, an enhanced version of Aveline de Grandpre’s battle for freedom in 18th-century New Orleans.” I liked AC3 when I played through it on Windows, but I also got it for “free” by selling all my Team Fortress 2 items.
- Final Fantasy VII out on March 26th
- Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy! on March 20th
- Final Fantasy IX is on the Switch today. Wes Fenlon reminds us that modders are making better upscaling work on Windows.
- Astral Chain is a new Platinum action game from the people who brought you Nier: Automata and Bayonetta. Exclusively on the Switch, August 30th. Nice.
- The Legend of Zelda™: Link’s Awakening: gets remade and anime as heck in the intro. It looks like a tilt-shifted 3D world in-game with side-scrolling as well. Very cool. Out later this year.
