Ring Fit Adventure, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be the new major titles released for the holiday season this year.
Luigi’s Mansion 3, the latest title in the Luigi’s Mansion series, was released yesterday on Halloween. This title is set in a giant ghost hotel, where the player uses new types of actions to explore a variety of bizarre floors. Multiplayer is available for all modes in this title. You can share Joy-Con controllers to play through the story with two players, or enjoy a party game that is separate from the story and supports up to eight players. This title can be enjoyed alone or with others, which makes it perfect for the holiday season.
In November, we will be releasing Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, the newest titles in the Pokémon series. These titles still have all the fun of collecting, raising, trading, and battling that the Pokémon series is known for, plus they feature never-before-seen Pokémon that live in the Galar region, where the new adventure is set. They also include elements to enhance Pokémon battles, and use communication features for play with other users.
The titles are enjoyable not only by fans of the Pokémon series, but also by those who got their first taste of the series on a dedicated video game platform with Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!.
Other software publishers are also releasing titles in a variety of genres for the holiday season and onwards. What you see here is just a sampling, that includes titles that satisfy game fans and casual titles that can be enjoyed by many players together, revivals of past classics and indie titles created by developers with their own unique style, we have gathered a collection of various titles on Nintendo Switch to answer the diverse needs of consumers.
