Mario Party Superstars: Trailer introduces you to the game in detail
Mario Party Superstars delivers something of the best of the series’ classics by bringing 100 popular mini-games from the N64 and Gamecube era to Nintendo Switch. In these, for example, we race in a cart over abysses full of seething lava or form huge snow globes. We also get five game boards from the N64 era in a nice, contemporary version. Also included is the birthday cake from the very first Mario party. The game principle works as usual: we drag our piece across the playing field like in a board game and depending on where we land, we have to master different challenges. This works both locally on a console and in online multiplayer.

Minecraft Dungeons – Block Diablo in the announcement trailer
Minecraft Dungeons takes on the look of the original, but has little to do with it in terms of play. It’s not about building or crafting, instead it’s an action-packed hack & slash role-playing game in the style of a Diablo. So we fight against masses of monsters and collect loot and better equipment. We can gradually improve the latter with the help of enchantment points. Compared to the competition, Minecraft Dungeons is primarily characterized by its varied levels, which range from dark mines to poisonous swamps to temples in the desert. We can explore these areas either locally or online in co-op in a group of up to four players.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – test video of the fun racer hit for Nintendo Switch
Mario Kart has long been considered the king of kart racers and nothing has changed with the eighth part of the series. This was already a hit on Wii U, but it’s even better in the deluxe version on Nintendo Switch. This is not only due to technical improvements, but also to the enormous scope: All 48 tracks and 37 drivers from the original and the extensions are included, there are also five new drivers and new arenas for the popular battle mode. Otherwise, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe relies on the tried and tested concept: We deliver exciting races on colorful courses, which are decided by skill and the clever use of the items. We can do this online, but also locally on a console in split-screen mode.

Despite its simple gameplay, TowerFall offers amazing space for tactical maneuvers.
TowerFall is a retro 2D party game in which up to four players shoot each other with a bow and arrow in local multiplayer. That sounds simple, but since there are only a few arrows available, every shot should be carefully considered. You can also stab opponents in the back, because if the character leaves the screen on one side, it reappears on the other. Together with various power-ups and arrow types, this provides astonishing tactical depth. There is also a co-op mode in which we face hordes of monsters and tough bosses together. The Switch version offers all the content from TowerFall Acension and the Dark World expansion.

WarioWare: Get it Together – New mini-game collection appears in the first Switch trailer
In WarioWare: Get It Together! we have to prove ourselves either alone or in pairs in local co-op in more than 200 bizarre micro-games. These range from squeezing out a tube of toothpaste to assembling robots to removing underarm hair. The story campaign revolves around game developer Wario, who, along with his friends, was drawn into his own video game and is now trying to escape from it. There are more than a dozen playable characters that each have individual skills. For example, 5 volts can leave their own body and cause violent explosions, while Wario himself has a rocket backpack. This enables completely different ways of playing.

Unravel Two – Trailer shows continuation with co-op mode
In the puzzle platformer Unravel Two, the cute ball of yarn Yarny hops through beautiful landscapes again. This time it is not alone, but is accompanied by a second, equally cute ball of wool figurine. This enables new gameplay mechanics. For example, a ball of wool on the thread of the other can swing over abysses. Unravel Two can also be played alone by switching back and forth between the two characters. Of course, it’s more fun if you tackle the adventure as a couple in local co-op, work well together and enjoy the beautiful backgrounds, the chic animations and the atmospheric music together.
