Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s coming to a Switch near you soon.

  • Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout – “Participate in a variety of obstacle courses and events as a goofy bean.” Read our full review here.
  • Outer Wilds – “Explore a solar system as you try to escape a time loop and prevent a sun from exploding.” Read our full review here.
  • Samurai Warriors 5 – The next entry in the long-running hack-and-slash series starring Samurai warriors hits the Switch this summer. This entry will be set in the Sengoku Period and follow historical figures like Nobunaga Oda and Mitsuhide Akeshi.
  • Legend of Mana – This 2000 PlayStation release was the follow up to the beloved SNES RPG Secret of Mana SNES, and it let you assemble towns and dungeons to encounter. Watch us replay the game here.

You can download the “collection” and get the arcade shooter 1943: The Battle of Midway for free, but you’ll have to pay for other titles like: Bionic Commando (1987), Ghouls 'n Ghosts (1988), Street Fighter II (1991), Captain Commando (1991), and more.
  • Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse – This original Xbox third-person action game about a zombie comes to Switch on March 16.

  • Miitopia – “Take a party of Miis on an RPG adventure, giving them a variety of standard – or silly – jobs and personalities as they fight to restore peace.” Originally released on the 3DS, this version hits the Switch on May 21. Read our full review here.
  • Ninja Gaiden Master Collection – Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge come bundled together in one package on June 10.
