LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga release date

It’s been a long time coming, but LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga finally has a release date. The game will arrive for Switch on April 5, Warner Bros. Interactive and TT Games revealed today.

Last April, it was pushed back indefinitely. Finally, last August, it was given a new Spring 2022 release window.

It’s time for the latest North American Nintendo Download report for the week of January 20, 2022. The latest releases include PopSlinger, RPGolf Legends, Windjammers 2, and more.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human – Cloud Version has been delayed, meaning the Switch edition won’t be ready to go next month.

olliolli world preview

We recently had the opportunity to play an early demo of OlliOlli World, the new entry in the series that mixes 2D platforming and skateboarding. While we specifically went hands-on with the PC version, the game will also come to Switch for its launch on February 8.

Based on my time with OlliOlli World, I was really impressed by how much fun I had playing it. The gameplay is a bit different compared to the typical titles out there, but it works really well, with each mechanic complementing the other. Be sure to check my full impressions in the video down below.
