Nintendo has confirmed that we’ll be hearing more about the Nintendo Switch successor within the fiscal year, but said nothing about the launch titles for their upcoming new system. It is safe to say that we’ll be getting a new 3D Mario game at some point, although whether it’ll be a Super Mario Odyssey 2 or something entirely new is anyone’s guess. However, we have some ideas about potential new features that could be in the game – which you can check out below.

Stray review

System: Switch
Release date: November 19, 2024
Developer: BlueTwelve Studios
Publisher: Annapurna Interactive


The life of a cat has perhaps been romanticized to some extent, but there’s no getting around the fact that it has been quite effective. Whether you love them or hate them, cats are the epitome of coziness in mainstream media, making them the ideal protagonists for more laid-back and comfortable video games. There aren’t many titles that will allow you to play as an ordinary cat, which is what makes BlueTwelve Studio’s Stray such an appealing title in many ways, putting you in the shoes (or rather, paws) of a regular cat in a cyberpunk setting. After two years since its initial release, the game has now finally made its way onto Nintendo Switch.
