It’s another week with loads of new games on the Switch, but this week’s eShop update is headlined by the arrival of a strong GOTY contender: Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Our review was pretty glowing, and it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of Mario, Rabbids, XCOM-style gameplay, or just fun in general.
Of course, lots of people might also apply that to Persona 5 Royal, which also arrives on the Switch this week. As does Jackbox Party 9, the latest entry in that long-running party game series, as well as the latest Borderlands game, New Tales from the Borderlands.
See the full list below, and also check out Nintendo’s updated Game Store list, here.
