Super Mario Odyssey – Test video for the Jump&Run hit for Nintendo Switch
The Jump & Run Super Mario Odyssey is one of the biggest hits and critics’ favorites on Nintendo Switch. Basically it’s a typical Mario 3D platformer, in the tradition of Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Galaxy, but with a lot of new and original ideas. Perhaps the most spectacular of these is the hat toss, which allows Mario to take control of other characters, opening up many new play possibilities. However, Super Mario Odyssey owes its many top ratings above all to the excellent level design, which repeatedly surprises with creative ideas, for example by interspersing small 2D sections that awaken nostalgic memories.

Zelda: Skyward Sword HD – Trailer shows some improvements of the Switch version
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a remaster of the action role-playing game originally released for Wii. We play young Link, who has just graduated from the Knight Academy and is now looking for his girlfriend Zelda. With the help of our cloud bird, we explore the islands scattered in the sea of clouds as well as the forests, deserts and volcanic landscapes of Earth. Compared to the original, not only the graphics but also the movement controls have been improved. You can also simply steer Link in the new edition with sticks and buttons, which means that Skyward Sword can also be played on Nintendo Switch Lite without any problems.

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle – Test video for the Switch exclusive tactical RPG
In Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, Mario and his friends team up with Ubisoft’s cute and cheeky bunnies to save the Mushroom Kingdom. They do it in XCOM-style turn-based tactical battles in which we’ll have to use the special abilities of all our characters efficiently and even combine them to achieve victory. Outside of the fights we explore four colorful and varied game worlds in which we can solve small puzzles and find treasures. In addition to the gameplay, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle scores with its humor. By the way, you can not only compete in single player, but also in local co-op.

Dragon Quest 11 – Test video: With old tricks on the genre throne
Dragon Quest XI is an old-school JRPG, with turn-based combat, huge game world and epic story. The latter may seem rather simple at first, but it becomes more and more complex over time and has a few surprising twists in store. Highlights of the game are also the lovable characters that we get to know on our journey, as well as the many bizarre monsters that stand in our way, and also the presentation in a colorful anime look. In addition to additional missions, the Definitive Edition also offers the new 16-bit mode, which makes the hearts of retro fans beat faster. If you want to try Dragon Quest XI before you buy it, you can find a free demo on Nintendo eShop.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim on Nintendo Switch – E3 trailer shows motion controls and Zelda loot
The fact that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has become one of the most successful role-playing games of all time is probably mainly due to its huge and varied open world. In the forests, mountains, cities and branching cave systems of the realm of skyrim in the far north we stumble across a lot of monsters, treasures, secrets and stories. While our primary mission is to protect the land from dragons, Skyrim is most enjoyable when you just drift and explore at your leisure. In addition to the main game, the Switch version also includes the Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn DLCs. There are also additional Zelda-style items.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses – Gameplay trailer shows the tactical RPG in action
In the turn-based tactics game Fire Emblem: Three Houses, we work as teachers at a military academy and not only have to teach our students the trade of war, but also lead them into battle in an emergency. At the beginning we have to choose one of the three houses, which each represent one of the three adjacent kingdoms and are associated with specific advantages and disadvantages. It is true that the demanding battles, which constantly present us with new challenges due to their diverse battlefields and scenarios, are the focus of the game. But Fire Emblem: Three Houses also places a lot of value on story and characters, which are elaborately staged in anime cutscenes.

Bayonetta – Launch trailer for the Switch implementations of parts 1 and 2
You can now get the action games Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2, originally released for Wii U, in the improved Switch version as a bundle. We play the witch Bayonetta, who fights against demons with melee and firearms on hands and feet. Both parts are characterized above all by their elaborately staged fights against imaginatively designed opponents. Bayonetta 2 is even a step more spectacular than the first part, which is not only due to the even more unusual special attacks, but also the more colorful and simply prettier environments. Occasionally the gameplay is loosened up by small puzzles.

Persona 5 Strikers – Gameplay trailer for the Musou spin-off of the hit JRPG
Persona 5 Strikers is a spin-off of the JRPG hit Persona 5, which takes over its game world and characters, but almost completely changes the gameplay: instead of turn-based tactics, we get fast-paced and action-packed battles against masses of opponents in the style of a Dynasty Warrior . A bit of the tactical depth of the original remains. There is an active pause mode in which we can choose the next special attack, and the possibility of slowly decimating our enemies. In terms of story, Strikers ties directly to Persona 5, but refrains from depicting everyday school life, since the story takes place during the holidays this time.

Disco Elysium: Final Cut Edition Launch Trailer Introduces New Features and Quests
Disco Elysium is one of the biggest indie hits of recent years. The unusual role-playing game puts us in the world of Elysium, which is reminiscent of 20th-century Earth but wonderfully weird and even surreal, in which we, as a quirky detective, are supposed to solve serious crimes. We can always solve our cases in very different, sometimes very creative ways, with the complex character development system determining what options are available to us. The Final Cut, which was released in 2021, brings along many other improvements, additional missions and a complete, albeit only English, soundtrack of the extensive dialogues.

BioShock: The Collection – Collection Remastered Launch Trailer
With the BioShock Collection you get three shooter hits in one package, in a technically improved version including all single-player extensions. BioShock 1 and 2 send us to the city of Rapture, built at the bottom of the ocean, which was planned as a new paradise, but has already turned into a grim, half-ruined nightmare before our arrival. The city of Columbia floating above the clouds, which we visit in BioShock Infinite, is still intact when we arrive there, but here too the beautiful appearance quickly cracks. You should have seen all three games at least once because of their wonderful art design.
