Get ready to kickflip it with the best of them, because Tonk Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 arrives on Nintendo Switch this June. The remake was a huge hit with fans when it first made its debut, and now skateboarding fans can take this modernized adventure on the go.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 arrives on the hybrid platform from Nintendo on June 25. While we've known about a Switch port for a while now, we haven't had a release date until today.
We loved our time with the game when it first released, giving it an 8.75 out of 1. "Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 makes the experience of playing through these games again feel fresh and current," reads our full review. "With contemporary visuals, smooth gameplay, and the iconic soundtrack you remember, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise may once again have a bright future thanks to this terrific blast from the past."

It also has the epic soundtrack that we know and love from the originals, with a few minor exceptions. Being able to build your own park, shred with the best of them, and just have a good time harkens back to the good 'ol days, so to take it on the go with the Switch is pretty spectacular.

The Mass Effect Legendary Edition is dropping soon, and to celebrate, BioWare just dropped a ton of free Mass Effect content for fans to enjoy. From being able to craft your dream squad to chilling to some space beats, it's a good week to be a member of the Normandy.
So what's free, you're asking?
For those familiar with the original trilogy, we all have our favorite squad members. But why pick just a team of three when you can have a much bigger ragtag group of misfits to help you fight the good fight? One of the BioWare freebies is the ability to create your own custom key art by choosing your favorite characters, your backup crew, and your calvary! It's pretty fun, you can see mine below!

Need a little pick-me-up to get you through the day? BioWare also shelled out an 88-track soundtrack video that features the original trilogy's soundtrack alongside a spiffy Liara animation from her space in Mass Effect 3. There are other pieces of original animated art as well, including the reuniting of Garrus and Tali.

For those that purchased the Deluxe Editions of Mass Effect 2 and 3 when they first came out, BioWare is also giving away the bonus 88 tracks heard above, as well as the new song, two digital art books, two digital comic books, and a digital lithograph of the Normandy doing what she does best: being the best damn ship in the galaxy.
Back in February, we went all-in with our cover story, learning about what went into making the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. From Mako changes to character improvements, there is a lot to look forward to for returning players. For newcomers to the trilogy's adventures, the ability to play all three games as they are meant to be played (thanks to the included DLC) is an exciting first step into a fandom that continues to be passionate to this day.
