2020 was a very strange year for all of us due to the worldwide pandemic, we saw fewer games released than we usually would see in a normal year, but we did see quite a few big releases from Nintendo last year for switch games.

We saw the release of Super Mario Bros. 35, Hades, Streets of Rage 4, Super Mario 3d All-stars and one of the best games to date Animal Crossing: New Horizons. So, we have had some pretty epic games to sink our teeth into last year. Are we expecting the same this year? We have put together a list of the top 5 games that are due to be released this year.

New Pokémon Snap – April 30th, 2021. We are extremely excited for the release of this game as are the millions of Pokémon fans. Nintendo has promised us “an all-new adventure for Nintendo Switch that’s inspired by the classic Nintendo 64 game”. This is a date for all gamer’s calendars.

Miitopia – May 21st, 2021 – following the success of previous Mii adventure games, the makers are bringing us a brand-new adventure.

Mario Golf: Super Rush – June 25th, 2021. The next instalment of the Mario Gold series but with a new feature. We are set to see story mode for the first time.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD – July 16th, 2021. This game was originally released back in 2011 on the Wii but Nintendo has decided it’s time to bring us a Switch version. We are expecting enhanced graphics, smoother controls and we will still have the option to use motion controls.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of ruin – 2021 exact date TBC. A new Monster Hunter adventure story is coming to switch and is set to give us interesting characters and monsters. They have said this game will bring us a “rich and emotional story”.
