This week’s most-anticipated Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 game launches
Mario Tennis Fever
Mario and the gang are back on the court, and they’re bringing classic maneuvers, powerful new Fever Shots, and a fresh set of equipment with ’em! Mario Tennis Fever modernizes the sporty Mario Bros. franchise with nearly 40 playable characters (each with their own unique skillset), a competitive Tournament mode (complete with Talking Flower commentary), Ranked Matches, Online Rooms, and more. Mario Tennis Fever is out now, exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2!
Tokyo Scramble
TOKYO SCRAMBLE, available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 today, casts players as post-apocalyptic survivor Anne as she navigates sprawling underground caverns filled with dinosaur-like beasts called Zino. To escape, Anne must rely on brute strength and strategy — but with GameShare and GameChat, you can call on up to three additional players locally or online to aid in Anne’s fight for survival.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties
Our charming Dragon of Dojima is back in Yakuza Kiwami 3, a contemporary remake of 2009’s action RPG, Yakuza 3. Continue Kazuma Kiryu’s Okinawan adventure as he fights for Sunflower Orphanage. In the new release’s added Dark Ties campaign, players can follow Yoshitaka Mine in a brand-new adventure. Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties launches on Nintendo Switch 2 today!
REANIMAL
The masterminds behind Little Nightmares are back with a stunning new co-op adventure. In REANIMAL, players follow a bro-sis duo as they set out to rescue missing friends. The two work in tandem to explore diverse environments, evade sinister baddies, and ultimately escape. Robust co-op adventure REANIMAL launches on Friday, Feb. 13, making it the perfect Valentine’s Day weekend release.
