The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Release: 12 May 2023
Since the announcement of the sequel to Breath of the Wild, new info on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been hotly anticipated on every Nintendo Direct. In addition to a new trailer with battle scenes and the new means of transportation for the Open World, more was also revealed about the Collector”s Edition as well as the price of the game.
Metroid Prime: Switch Remaster
Release: immediately
There was a big surprise for Metroid fans: Instead of showing more about Metroid 4, a Switch Remaster to the classic Metroid Prime was presented and can also be purchased directly digitally – the physical version, however, will be released on March 3. What”s in the remaster!
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: New Character
Release: Spring 2023
For fans of a well-kept brutal round of Mario Kart there was also a perhaps (?) pleasant surprise. With the new DLCs for 2023, a new character will also make it into the round that enjoys mixed popularity: Birdo, the pink dinosaur with the huge trunk, will also be able to swing into a kart or onto a motorbike in the future. You can read about which other DLCs await you directly at GamePro.
Professor Layton and the New World of Steam
Release: still unknown
Excuse me, when is the next bus actually coming? When the gap in the sky”s teeth opens and the world below the cart closes its windows, a new crane will rise! Ah, thank you very much. For friends of the art of puzzles, the new part of Professor Layton was introduced in a short teaser – even if it is still mysterious in terms of release and story.
Pikmin 4
Release: 21 July 2023
After its first announcement, Pikmin 4 now also showed first gameplay and in the process directly announced its release. In the trailer, it showed a new perspective, its characters and the new mechanics – such as that of the ice Pikmin, which can freeze waters to make them walkable for the new crew.
Play Game Boy via Nintendo Switch Online
Release: now
Attention Game Boy fans, are you also one of those people who mourn their old handheld because it broke, went missing or was accidentally flogged off at a garage sale? Then you can now play some classics from the Game Boy series (also Color and Advanced) via Nintendo Switch Online.
