Rebellion have released the launch trailer for Zombie Army Trilogy, which launches on Switch tomorrow, March 31st.
Check out the trailer below.
Update: There’s been another report about this, now naming Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World as re-releases. Read up on it here.
Original: Switch could be getting a whole lot of Super Mario love this year. According to a VGC report, Nintendo is preparing to re-release most of the plumber’s 35-year back catalog, now remastered for Switch. That’s based on information received from “multiple sources”.
VGC’s report mentions a new event from Nintendo that will coincide with Super Mario’s anniversary. The company’s plans are supposedly “set to be revealed alongside new details of Nintendo’s partnership with Universal, and the pair’s Super Nintendo World theme park attractions and animated Super Mario movie.” Nintendo was apparently planning a physical event at E3 2020 in June, but the expo has been cancelled and the Big N “is now reviewing its plans in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”
Along with plans for re-releases, VGC mentions that “several other Mario titles” are in the works for 2020. A new Paper Mario is specifically mentioned in the report.
The roguelike action-platformer Neon Abyss was announced for Switch last August. It didn’t make the originally intended 2019 release window, but Team17 and Veewo Games have confirmed that the game is still coming to Nintendo’s console. We should be seeing it later this year if all goes well.
We have the following overview and trailer for Neon Abyss:
The dictator simulator game Tropico 6 is on the way to Switch, publisher Kalypso Entertainment and developer Limbic Entertainment have announced. A release window has not yet been confirmed.

Turn Me Up is one of the company’s involved with bringing Borderlands Legendary Collection to Switch. Over on the studio’s website, more information is revealed about the Switch ports.
Turn Me Up states that the team “worked tireless with 2K and Gearbox to bring these ravenously requested classics to Switch in full 1080p, at 30 FPS and with no downgrading of art assets.” It also “included all the trimmings of the GOTY releases” while also making motion controls just for the new Switch collection.
Borderlands Legendary Collection launches for Switch on May 29.
Once again, it seems we have confirmation of a game coming to Nintendo Switch through it receiving an age rating. This time, the ESRB has rated John Wick Hex for Nintendo Switch. This is an action strategy game set in the John Wick universe, which was originally released for PC in October of last year. As always, this isn’t an official announcement just yet, but it’s extremely likely that the game will be released on the Switch. It received an “M” rating from the ESRB for “Blood, Strong Language & Violence”; here’s their overview of the game:
This is a tactical action game in which players assume the role of John Wick on a quest to rescue characters from an enemy. From a top-down perspective, players infiltrate night clubs and criminal strongholds using a tactical grid system to move through the environment. As players encounter enemy thugs, they use a menu system to perform tactical actions (e.g., strike, takedown, parry, shot). Shooting enemies can result in cries of pain and brief splashes of blood; some still-images depict enemies laying in pools of blood. The word “f**k” is heard in the game.
Fire Emblem Heroes has updated its content with a few new experiences for players.
First, there have been additional hero intros added into the “Meet Some of the Heroes” page, including- Bramimond, Sothe, Tibarn, Reyson, Leanne, and Naesala.
Next, heroes dressed as bunnies are back in a new summoning event, including Xander, Chrom, Lucina, and Camilla. The first summon in this focus will not cost any orbs.
And finally, Death Knight returns in some special maps for the Grand Hero Battle and there are even limited-timed quests to check out if you’ve completed a map before.
Dragalia Lost’s new raid event, The Scars of the Syndicate, will begin on March 30, 11PM PT and it comes with a lot of new content for players to enjoy.
First off, Dragalia Lost is rewarding players with the gift of 10 Blessed Ethon Ashes & 100 Amplifying Crystals, simply for logging in now.
Then, once the raid begins, a sixth mana circle (named the mana spiral) will be added for certain characters. These characters are three star variants of Althemia, Vice, and Erik.
Finally, this raid event brings a new character to the story- a revenge-filled newcomer named Aldred.
