10 Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games That We Can’t Wait To Play

The Nintendo Switch is a really sweet piece of hardware and a console that we think has huge potential. It’s amazing to hear how incredibly well it’s selling — the Japanese platform holder must be over-the-moon with its current sales trajectory - but it's important to remember that it’s still early days.

It couldn’t have been anyone else now, could it?

Our loveable, pint-sized plumber is primed for his next 3D open-world adventure and it’s shaping up to be a very special one. Traveling across worlds in his flying ship, dubbed the Odyssey, Mario must once again save Princess Peach from the clutches of grouchy ol’ Bowser. This time, our affable plumber’s joined by a magic cap called Cappy, which can be used in a number of neat ways.

Want him to turn into a temporary platform? Sure. Need him to attack those irksome enemies? Why, of course. Wanna possess some NPCs and monsters? You betcha! The addition of Cappy looks like a super clever and very welcome mechanic to one of the Big N’s longest-running franchises.

Our very own Gaming Editor Shaan Joshi managed to get some hands-on time with the game at E3 2017 and you can read his excited and eloquent write-up here. Long story short, Shaan loved his time with the title and wrote: “I safely say that Super Mario Odyssey is not only one of the best Mario games I’ve played in years, but one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in a long while.”

If that doesn’t get you excited for this Nintendo Switch title, I don’t know what will.
