We’ll be seeing Darksiders 3 on Switch just a few weeks, and retailers have now started to post their listing with pre-orders and more.

Star Wars Racer and Commando Combo is planned for a retail release on Switch, according to retailer listings.

The package will include two games that can be owned physically for the first time. In addition to Star Wars Episode I: Racer, buyers will also be provided with Star Wars: Republic Commando. The titles should be included on a single cartridge. THQ Nordic will be handling distribution.

Star Wars Jedi Knight Collection

Retailer listings have started to surface that reveal plans for a new Star Wars Jedi Knight Collection at retail on Switch.

According to product descriptions, the package will contain two previously-released titles. Along with Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, it also includes Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. You’ll be getting what we assume is both titles on a single Switch cartridge.

Destroy All Humans!

Destroy All Humans! has been updated on Switch. THQ Nordic has distributed version 1.0.1, and all players can access it now.

Although there aren’t any new features, the patch does make a number of improvements. THQ Nordic says the update fixes multiple texture issues as well as jetpack VFX, missing Saucer markers, trees popping up, hovering agents, and Crypto’s talking animation.

Destroy All Humans! first made it to Switch in June. You can read our review here.
