Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (September 22nd)

Although Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has been around on the other consoles for quite some time, the upcoming Nintendo Switch release will boast special exclusives. For example, you’ll be able to play against other players in local multiplayer.

If you’re a fan of the Wii Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi titles, you’ll be happy to know that you can use the Joy-Cons to perform signature attacks like Spirit Bomb and the Kamehameha wave. Whether you’re a Dragon Ball fan, or a fan of fighting games in general, you should definitely keep your eye out for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 when it releases for Nintendo Switch on September 22nd.

Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition (September 12th)

Rayman Legends is a fantastically animated title that’s fun to play, even though it’s been around for a while now. Fortunately, the Nintendo Switch version will spice things up with an array of upgrades similar to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (above). For example, you’ll have the ability to utilize local multiplayer between Nintendo Switch consoles.

Rayman creator Michel Ancel also mentioned that aside from the mode Kung Foot, “We are preparing other surprises because the console has a lot of qualities in the multiplayer area.” Overall, he seemed very excited for the Nintendo Switch port of Rayman Legends, which makes us equally as excited!

Thimbleweed Park (September TBD)

Thimbleweed Park is a point and click adventure game that revels in its own expletive humor and does an amazing job at presenting both fun and challenging puzzles. You’ll also be hooked by the twisting and turning narrative as you set to unravel a murder in the small town in Thimbleweed County.
