This week, Nintendo unloads a new truck full of promising new games onto the Switch. The titles span big franchise Mortal Kombat 11, colorful indies like Katana Zero, and massive content updates like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate3.0 update.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is my most anticipated game of the bunch. Capcom released the original Dragon's Dogma in 2012 to mixed reviews. Many critics and fans having trouble connecting with the game, which borrowed concepts from masks like Dark Souls and open-world role-playing series like Elder Scrolls. Between then and now, however, Dragon's Dogma the game is so great that it's not really like anything else.
I had a chance to play a large chunk of Katana Zero as a judge for the Independent Games Festival. It's an oddball mishmash of grimy dialogue sequences and gory sword fight. The elevator pitch is Hotline Miami with a 2D platformer, but its creator's ambition seems to extend beyond that logline. The game digs into the idea of time, both a mechanical battle and a narrative device.
I loved Cuphead when it launched on Xbox One and Windows PC, and it's only grown on me since then. The game has a reputation for being brutally difficult, but I think it is better and more forgiving than most folks assumes. That is to say, do not let the difficulty scare you away. I'm curious how to check Joy-Cons. I might need to start a Pro Pack when I travel with my Switch.
Here's the full list of games launching this week on the Nintendo Switch eShop:
