We covered the 10 biggest games that are still yet to release this year, so if you haven’t checked that one out then you should. However, in this article we’re putting our sights solely on Nintendo Switch.

The Switch may not be having a year that’s as good as its incredible 2017 launch was, but 2019 is no slouch and there’s still some very big games on the horizon. Here we’ll list the 5 best Switch games that are on the horizon.

Astral Chain

The next release from acclaimed developer PlatinumGames is going to be a Switch-exclusive, and is directed by NieR: Automata lead game designer Takahisa Taura. An alien threat descends upon a prosperous city called the Ark, and the Ark police form a special task force to stop them from attacking its people and corrupting the land. Expect more dazzling action spectacle that nobody but PlatinumGames can deliver. Astral Chain launches on August 30th.

Daemon X Machina

Keeping inline with action titles, the next game on our list is a third-person mech shooter from Marvelous First Studio. Players will control a custom player character while commanding an arsenal mech and taking on other mech enemies. The game also includes a four-player cooperative multiplayer mode. This one has gone under the radar a a bit, but it could end up being one of the sleeper hits of the year. Daemon X Machina launches on September 13th.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

Nintendo is dipping into their archives with this release, remaking the beloved 1993 game that originally launched on the Game Boy. While this remake will retain much of what made that game such a hit, it will include completely overhauled visuals that blend both old and new. It will also feature customizable dungeons that players can complete for rewards. The game will launch on September 20th.

Luigi’s Mansion 3

The next installment in Nintendo’s spooky action-adventure series is finally on the horizon, being the first release since the 3DS’ Dark Moon in 2013. The game will have a more open-ended level structure compared to its immediate predecessor, as this time Luigi is exploring a haunted hotel rather than a mansion. Utilizing his updated ghost-gobbling vacuum cleaner and his slime-doppelganger Gooigi, the timid younger brother of a certain franchise is all ready for round 3. Luigi’s Mansion 3 launches on October 31st.

Pokemon Sword & Shield

The last game on our list is also guaranteed to be the biggest seller for Nintendo this year, and that’s the latest installment in the massive Pokemon series. While really only being a marginal step up compared to previous games in terms of mechanics, fans are excited for this release seeing as it’s the first in the series to release on a home console. All of the Pokemon catching, training and battling will be front and center as always, only this time there’s much more impressive hardware backing it up. Sword & Shield launches on November 15th.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
