Top new Nintendo Switch games out this week - (November 2nd)
Diablo III, Transistor, LEGO Harry Potter, and more
There are mere hours between now and the weekend and, for many of us, that comes with the age-old question of "how am I going to spend my time?" With games like Diablo III, LEGO Harry Potter, and Taiko no Tatsujin on the cards, I think gaming is a big possibility.
I mean, I know I've got work to do, a house to clean, and I should also get outside for a little bit, but between an amazing list of games and continuing my dive into the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 it's making it hard to think about. But I'll be good, I swear. Maybe. Possibly... I'll try my best.
1
Diablo III: Eternal Collection
Finally, this dungeon-crawling RPG adventure is available on Nintendo Switch. Choosing between a number of character classes, you'll stand proud in Sanctuary as angels and demons go to war over it. Eternal Collection comes with the Reaper of Souls expansion and the Rise of the Necromancer pack, but that's not all. Given it's Nintendo Switch, it's got a few exclusive bits to enjoy too featuring items from The Legend of Zelda.
2
Johnny Turbo Arcade: Heavy Burger
Play as Peter Pepper in this rather classic arcade game. Whether you're shooting explosive pool balls, lasers, shotguns, playing with heavy burgers, or whatever else, the only thing that matters is that you get to the Bank before your opponents. I mean, just reading the Switch store description is pretty wild, so check it out for yourself.
3
Hidden Folks
- Grab it for £10.39 (originally £12.99)
I'm sure you've heard of this one as Hidden Folks makes the journey from mobile to Nintendo Switch. As one of the most adorable hidden puzzlers on the market, this one's utterly chocked-full of cute characters, lively scenes, and adorable sound effects (all man-made).
4
Knock-Knock
Halloween may be over, but there's still plenty of time to enjoy Knock-Knock. After multiple generations of Lodgers have survived the cabin, you're finding it a little harder to do so. Crippled with insomnia you roam the halls at night, fixing lightbulbs and hiding from the monsters who stalk you in the dark. Will you survive to see the next sunrise?
5
LEGO Harry Potter Collection
Have fun playing through Harry Potter's story in LEGO form with this ultimate collection. Where you usually have to buy Years 1-4 and Years 5-7 separate, here it all comes as one tidy package. Cast spells, solve puzzles, duel with foes, and explore Hogwarts yet again. Am I complaining? Not in the least.
6
Night Slashers
As the second Johnny Turbo game on the list, in this one you need to stop King Zarutz and his evil army from conquering the world. I'm talking werewolves, vampires, zombies, you know – the classics. With seven stages of action to work through, there's a bunch of scenarios that'll make your toes tingle. That's what happens when people are scared, right?
7
Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San
There's a lot going on here, but Save me Mr Tako is a seriously cute platformer about a brave, little octopus. After saving a woman from drowning, a fairy grants Mr Tako the ability to survive on land and to turn his enemies into platforms. Rather than going along with what everyone else says, this octopus is off to bring peace to both the humans and the octopi.
8
Speed Brawl
This combat racer will have you keeping a keen eye on your momentum to hit as hard as possible. Assemble a fantastic team of brawlers, build combos, and try out some special moves through 50 events/races. Upgrade and customise your brawlers to make them even better, and play again and again both locally and online.
9
Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun
At last, this Japanese arcade rhythm game is out on the Switch and we can't wait to dive in. Use intuitive motion controls to control your drumming, play with familiar Nintendo characters, play with friends in local co-op, and have a whack at the all-new Party Mode. Be the cat with the bass and drum.
10
Transistor
It was only a matter of time before Transistor made it over to Nintendo Switch. This Sci-Fi-themed RPG lets you use an incredible weapon to fight through a beautifully made city. You don't know where it came from, but you don't really mind when it comes to kicking butt. Experience rich storytelling, striking graphics, and a mystery to be solved as you work through the streets of Cloudbank.
