In this all new adventure made from the ground up only for the Nintendo Switch, Mario must once again spring into action when his nemesis Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach with plans to forcibly take her hand in marriage.

Following one of the first Assassins, Bayek, players can witness the birth of the Assassins in this prequel to the series.

This year marks the launch of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, the eighth mainline game in the franchise, and it’s ready to kick some Nazi ass. Set in an alternate version where the Third Reich never fell, players control William “B.J.” Blazkowicz as he embarks on his mission to finally destroy the Nazi scum and take back America!
