This one looks like it's going to be along the lines of Super Mario Odyssey when it comes to platforming and semi-open world exploring. While there have definitely been a lot of Kirby games over the years, it's been a long time since Kirby had a hit game. It will be a direct sequel to the 2017 Game of the Year winner, and looks likes it's promising to provide plenty of new mechanics to keep things interesting.Īnother anticipated title to launch this year is Kirby The Forgotten Land. I'd be lying if I said The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel wasn't high on my list. There are so many exciting titles coming to Nintendo Switch this new year. Take on the role of Samus Aran, a famous bounty hunter out to stop the spread of deadly Phazon in the galaxy. With so much positive attention after the success of Metroid Dread, we can't wait to see what's in store for Samus' next adventure. She's had a few fast-paced showdowns with Dark Samus and with any luck has finally beaten it. Last we saw Samus Aran, she was attempting to stop the spread of Phazon, a harmful substance that corrupts people and whole planets. However, it's likely Metroid Prime 4 will continue the story where the last one left off. We don't know if the game will be releasing this year or within the next few years. While the delay was upsetting, it meant that the company that had made the original Prime games was back in charge of the next entry. Nintendo had started to make this game but then completely scrubbed their work in 2019 and put Retro Studios in charge of the game. That's because Prime 3: Corruption released way back in 2007 on the Wii and therefore it has been over 14 years that fans have waited for the next entry in the series. It all looks so challenging and we can't wait to play it.Īs long as Bayonetta fans have waited, Metroid Prime 4 fans have waited even longer. We also see him falling to floating islands and traveling through the sky with his glider. Now with this altered hand, Link acquires new skills like the ability to control metal or to even go through walls. It comes to life and seems to send Zelda off into an abyss while Link's hand gets transformed by some green force.

For instance, Zelda and Link go exploring in some underground cavern only to find some emaciated figure on an altar. We've already learned a lot from the videos Nintendo has released. We know that a Breath of the Wild sequel is coming, and although Nintendo isn't willing to tell us the name just yet, we know that it continues off where BotW left off. To this day, people are still finding new things they can do in the game. It won the Game of the Year at the 2017 Game Awards along with a host of other accolades for its impressive physics mechanics, open-world exploration, and puzzle-solving. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW) is not only one of the very best Nintendo Switch games but is one of the very best games ever made.

There are bound to be several surprises in store and we can't wait to see just what exactly this adventure holds.įalling Link Botw2 Closeup (Image credit: Nintendo (screenshot)) Instead, you'll track, fight, and capture Pokémon directly in the overworld. What's more, the game doesn't take you into a separate battle scene whenever you interact with a Pokémon. This is going to make for some more strategic catching tactics. We already know that at some point players can fly using a special Hisuan Braviary and even ride a Wyrdeer, a Hisuian region evolution to Stantler.Īdditionally, wild Pokémon can become enraged and charge you while more timid species might run away scared at your approach. Here, players will be tasked with creating the first-ever Pokédex and exploring the feudal-era region. While there is definitely still the core idea of battling and capturing monsters, this game takes place in ancient Sinnoh, the same region as Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
