1. To The
Moon This tear-jerking indie-adventure game is
making its way to Nintendo’s hybrid console. To The Moon is a beautiful title with a powerful
story about love, loss, and dreams. It takes you into the lives of medical professionals
trying to give people another chance to live… but only inside their patient’s heads before
they draw their last breath.
It’s a bittersweet yet meditative experience about the futility of human life. It’s bound
for release this 16th of January.
2. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Remastered Edition
One of Square’s iconic FF spin-offs is returning to the modern world. Return to the hopeful
spirits of the Crystal Caravan in this remastered version of the 2003 GameCube title. Team up
with other friends online to help you in your brave quest.
Crystal Chronicles enhances the experience of their epic journey to cleanse their world
from a mysterious miasma. As an enhanced title, expect improved visuals, sound and other bonus
content that make this adventure worthwhile. Coming this 23rd of January, 2020.
3. Doom Eternal What is a better way to celebrate Switch’s
success with DOOM’s second major installment? Eternal is the ideal gameplay experience when
you want to de-stress yourself after a long day at work. Grab a gun and prepare to kill
some Demons in a pandemonium-stricken Earth.
This sequel by id Software manages to up the ante of the soft-reboot, making it bigger
and better in terms of combat, exploration and it's oh-so-smooth movement. With Switch’s
hybrid capabilities, you can experience this fast-paced shooter Docked or Undocked. It’s
set to release on other platforms on March 20th, but it’s scheduled for release on
the Switch sometime later in 2020.

latest title takes you into a whole new world free from the modern life woes. With more
freedom at your disposal, New Horizons is a paradise of peace and serenity. Embrace
that rural life as you collect resources and use your green thumb to cultivate plants and
trees.
Make some new friends and get to meet some familiar faces in the Animal Crossing universe.
There’s so much to do in this living and breathing world. Set your sights for these
new horizons when the game comes out this March 20, 2020.
5. Trials Of Mana Seiken Densetsu 3 is coming out to the Western
Shores and the Switch for the first time.
This is a remake of the 1995 classic JRPG that first released on the Super Famicom.
It’s been rebuilt from the ground up to give it a full 3D makeover. The story is unchanged,
but experiencing it again or for the first time with enhanced sound, visuals and combat
makes everything worthwhile. Coming this April 24, 2020.
6. Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers It’s unfortunate that this is the only Persona
title coming to the Switch. Either way, better this than nothing.
Scramble is different. It takes you to the lives of the Phantom Thieves once again but
instead of raiding palaces and stealing people’s hearts, it’s a Musou title where you hack
and slash enemy Shadows in Tokyo.
Made from the company that gave us the iconic Dynasty Warriors title, go all out as you
pick from the wide cast of characters from Persona 5 and duke it out with hundreds of
Shadows. It’s coming out sometime in Spring 2020.
7. Minecraft: Dungeons Mojang’s voxel-based universe continues
to evolve. This brand new Minecraft title says goodbye to its sandbox adventure as it
introduces a whole new action-adventure experience that takes its inspiration from notable dungeon-crawling
RPGs like Diablo and Divinity.
Played in an isometric perspective, personalize your character and ready yourself as you dive
into a treacherous dungeon filled with monsters you’ve come to expect and more in a Minecraft
game. It comes out sometime this second quarter of 2020.
8. SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated
Remember that classic PlayStation 2 SpongeBob game? Well, it’s coming back and it’s
‘Rehydrated’. Step into the shoes of these iconic Bikini Bottom buddies as they gear
up and defeat Plankton’s robotic army. This Remake by Purple Lamp Studios features improved
visuals and sound which results to a completely refreshing experience.
For those who missed out on this classic, it’s the perfect time to dive right in.
It’s scheduled for a 2020 release.
9. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 Looks like Musou titles are making a comeback.
Return to the high seas in Koei Tecmo’s Warriors-like One Piece experience. Similar
to Pirate Warriors, control numerous One Piece characters including Luffy, Zorro, and more
as they repel a massive horde of enemies in satisfying hack and slash combat.
Given the short reveal trailer, we know little about the game’s new content and mechanics.
However, one thing we know is that it covers notable arcs from the One Piece anime instead
of telling an original story. It comes out this sometime this 2020.
10. Fairy Tail At this point, every Anime title with a game
is gonna flock over to the Nintendo Switch. This JRPG adventure is imbued with the enchanting
story and characters from Hiro Mashima’s opus.
Meet the iconic faces of the Fairy Tail mage guild. Take on quests and venture into Fiore’s
magical lands. If you take a closer look in the gameplay, it kinda resembles Persona 5’s
turn-based aesthetic.
The game is still in development but it’s coming out sometime this 2020!
11. My Hero One’s Justice 2 There’s just so many Anime titles on the
Switch! Based on the hit anime series, play all your favorite heroes and villains in this
sequel to the 3D arena-fighter.
Just like their Naruto games, this one is no different. See what happens to Deku in
its story-mode. Play through the anime and experience memorable fights and relive the
iconic scenes. With 40 playable characters at your disposal, create your own dream team
as the series comes out sometime this 2020.
12. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition One of MonolithSoft’s acclaimed series that
made its way to Super Smash Bros. In this Remake of 2012’s Wii classic, return to
the adventures of Shulk in this gorgeous time-bending fantasy sci-fi title. It’s finally getting
the improvement it deserves and its gearing for release to the Switch next year.
As an open-world JRPG, explore the Gaur Plains in HD and relive the best moments of this
fascinating game in refined sound and visual design. No release date yet but possibly this
2020.
13. XIII A first-person shooter with a huge element
of comic book artistry, there's nothing like XIII. Amassing a cult following since its
release on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in 2003, XIII is staging its comeback, refreshed and
renewed for the modern consoles. It didn’t quite receive good reviews when it initially
came out, but let’s hope this Remake fixes its issues.
As their trailer suggests, XIII is still gonna be loaded with style and we’re looking forward
to seeing it once it arrives sometime this 2020.
14. Rogue Company It’s great to see first-person shooters
dropping to the Switch. This is Ubisoft’s multiplayer-shooter where you group up with
friends and dominate the competition as members of an Elite Mercenary team.
As a multiplatform title, engage in guns-blazing online sessions with other players in various
platforms with its crossplay and cross-progression feature. There’s so much potential here
and we can’t wait to find out more about this game once it comes out sometime this
2020.
15. Cris Tales There is something refreshing about this vibrant
indie game from Dreams Uncorporated. Dubbed as a Love-Letter to the classic JRPG titles
like Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger, and even Valkyrie Profile, this time-warping adventure
takes us into the life of Crisbell as she stops a powerful Time Empress from messing
up the future.
It doesn’t feel like an indie game at all, especially with its solid hand-drawn art style
and a fascinating world to explore. Master turn-based combat as you use the power of
time to warp them to the past, present and even future. You can look out for out sometime
in 2020.
16. Gods & Monsters Imagine the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the
Wild, but set in a fictional Ancient Greece. This is what Gods & Monsters is all about.
It goes without saying that this was created by the same team that made Assassin’s Creed:
Odyssey.
We didn't really get to know too much about it in their trailer. What we do know is that
it’s an open-world game where you traverse huge plains and slay monsters. It’s coming
out sometime this second half of 2020.
17. Little Nightmares II Return to the Maw in this otherworldly adventure
game from Tarsier Studios. This sequel enhances the horror experience with deep puzzle elements.
In this second chapter, the iconic girl with the yellow raincoat makes a return but she
no longer remains playable.
The game’s main character centers around Mono, which was a protagonist from the previous
title. This sequel will further explore the harrowing atmosphere of The Maw and what lies
beyond this demented dimension. It’s coming sometime this 2020.
18. Hollow Knight: Silksong If you think you’ve had enough of Hollow
Knight, another installment from Team Cherry comes out ready to push you to the limit.
This sequel isn’t all about our little hero with a Nail. Take on Hornet’s shoes and
explore a new Kingdom ruled by silk and song.
With Hornet’s abilities, engage in lethal acrobatic action as she uses her signature
Needle to take down foes. It remains as punishing as ever for players who don’t play enough
Dark Souls. This next chapter is coming sometime this 2020.
19. Metroid Prime 4 One of Nintendo Switch’s most anticipated
exclusives. Announced during E3 2017, the game was nowhere to be found only until this
year.
So far, it’s still under development but fans are already hyped up considering it’s
gonna be a new Metroid title after a long, long while. Everything is pure speculation
yet but let’s hope we see this game drop next year.
20. The Outer Worlds Fallout: New Vegas in SPACE. This brand new
title from Obsidian Entertainment is the perfect substitute for Bethesda’s underperforming
Fallout 76. It’s already out on major consoles and the PC, but the Switch gets to experience
this last, unfortunately.
Explore the Halcyon System taken over by Capitalism. Space is just another place to capitalize
on money. Take on quests with branching decisions and embark on a grand adventure across other
planets with a group of memorable characters. It’s coming out next year.
21. Bayonetta 3 PlatinumGames’ titular Witch is back but
it's still shrouded in mystery, we might have to wait a little while longer before its imminent
release on Nintendo's hybrid console.
We only got one reveal trailer so far and it looks like our main character is not looking
good. We’re as excited as you are, but sadly, there is no release date yet.
22. Shin Megami Tensei V Another most-anticipated Switch title that
disappeared after its announcement years ago. It’s the original Persona without the day
and night dating sim.
Sad news is that there’s no word about this iconic JRPG as of the moment. What we know
so far is that it’s still set in modern day Tokyo and it features a refreshing look
of the game’s known Demons. ATLUS is still a bit busy with Persona 5’s massive success,
so it might take a while before we see a release date.
23. Pikmin 4 (Tentative Title )
Pikmin was an odd idea that turned out to be a widespread success. And now fans are
itching for another entry to their series. With the Switch’s prosperous set of years,
we all think it's about time for another otherworldly farming saga, and the return of the adorable
color-coded Pikmins.
Pikmin 4 has no trailer yet so that means no gameplay footage is present. Like most
of Nintendo’s upcoming Triple-A titles, it still remains an enigma. No title or release
date yet, but we’re eagerly hoping with crossed fingers.
24. Streets Of Rage 4 From Dotemu, the publisher behind hits like
Wonder boy and Windjammers, comes a sequel to SEGA’s iconic arcade brawler. Known for
its ridiculous fights and jamming ‘90s beats, 4 lets us relive the magic behind this cult
classic.
Packed with non-stop action and groovy electronic music, follow the lives of Axel and Blaze
as they start picking fights wherever they go. Building up on the original gameplay with
new mechanics, it also adds more fun to the skull-bashing and chicken-chomping delight
by encouraging group beat-ups with friends! No release date yet.
25. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2
The original Breath of the Wild was a masterpiece, racking up numerous Game of the Year awards
and being hailed as one of the greatest open-world games of all time. After releasing a cryptic
trailer at E3 2019, Nintendo continues to push the boundaries of the Switch and the
Zelda franchise into greater heights.
Still unknown on what the game is all about, this sequel is already in active development.
No one knows about its gameplay or story, but it's reveal trailer poses some lingering
questions about Ganon and the future of Hyrule. No release date yet.
