Play as Sphinx and the Mummy and use their individual skills to defeat the evil plans of Set. Aside from its adventure features, the game also has plenty of platforming action to get around.

Fantasy Strike
Fighting games are hard, what with all their complex combinations and all. But, from Sirlin Games comes a fighting that makes all of that simpler. An early access game on the PC, Fantasy Strike is a game that's designed for newbies but still altogether enjoyed by fighting game veterans. Looking stylish with its cartoon visuals, the game has a diverse lineup of fighters divided into groups of zoners, rushdowns, and wildcards. Easy as it is to pick up, when it's created by an ex-Streetfighter developer, you'll know there's some depth to it too.
Optimized for keyboard play, we're curious what fighting will look like on the Switch's joycons. Hopefully, still as good, it's set this first quarter of 2019.

Ninjala
Between hosting Ragnarok Online, creating the uber popular Puzzle and Dragons, and producing Dissdia Final Fantasy you'll get a feel that GungHo's got some pretty great ideas. So, there's much to expect from their newest venture into online multiplayer action. Looking as spunky as Nintendo's own Splatoon, Ninjala's vibrant battles offers layers of fast paced gameplay.
Dive into the arena as one of eight characters and craft different kinds of weapons to knock your opponents with, depending on the size of your bubblegum bubble. Cool, right? It was one of the most popular booths at the recent Tokyo Game show, and with its unique charm, there's no surprise there. It's coming out Spring 2019.
Team Sonic Racing
Working as some sort of alternative for Mario Kart on other consoles, SEGA might have a hard time breaking into the Switch's market. It's still in the realm of possibility, though. Given the high speed hedgehog's long history, this spinoff will be a veritable treat for any fan of Sonic's nostalgia-ridden escapades. Not only will it offer new Crush 40 songs to jam to, Team Sonic Racing is also pretty unique in its racing gameplay.
Putting focus on co-op gameplay, race around the familiar stages, and collect rings and points towards team victory. If it can be forgiven for its underwhelming trailer and Cream exception, we'll see it hit the shelves on May 21, 2019
Tales Of Vesperia: Definitive Edition

Bayonetta 3
One of the biggest games coming to the Switch soon. SEGA’s hair-whipping, gun-slinging, spell-casting witch returns to the fray once again and it’s coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch. Announced during this year’s E3, it was a huge surprise for both Bayonetta and Nintendo fans, and it also gained a bit of negative feedback due to its exclusivity.
Unfortunately, details are short at the moment. The only preview we got was the mysterious new trailer and we know it didn’t end well for our sassy heroine. No release date yet but we hope it’s coming out soon!
The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince
Can't say it's entirely different from Nippon Ichi's other title, but there's something special about their upcoming action-adventure. Telling the story of a heartwarming friendship between wolf-girl princess and prince, it's not a far cry from the storybook adventures we grew up with. To add to the atmosphere is its sepia-toned hand-drawn artstyle. And, when they say hand-drawn, they do mean it, pouring meticulous detail into its animations and backdrops. Cute though it seems, there's gonna be some heartbreaks in our collective future.
Released in Japan last May, the warm and not so fuzzy feels will finally be available to the west come Feb 19, 2019
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
The latest entry into Yuji Horii's long running Dragon Quest and it seems like its breaking out of the boundaries of the series in a good way. This eleventh main installment might be a fully open world experience, but it still manages to expand the JRPG storytelling with its vast and beautiful high def environments. A throwback in more ways than one, XI also boasts characters designed Dragonball creator, Akira Toriyama.
Already released on the PS4 and the PC, Dragon Quest XI has received mostly positive reviews from both critics and gamers. It's particularly praised for its visuals, characters, and 3D take on traditional turn-based combat. Still making adjustments with the Unreal Engine updates, there's still no definite release for the Switch.
The World Next Door
With their anime and indie inspirations in mind, The World Next Door explores a magical parallel universe with a blend of visual novel style storytelling and puzzle mechanics.

Something for younger audiences to enjoy, its narrative derives from the friendships between their eclectic high school cast.
Bringing together anime-like stories, real-time match three puzzle battles, and exploration, it's a pretty ambitious project for Rose City Games and it's coming out on this first quarter of 2019
Onimusha: Warlords
One of CAPCOM’s iconic series returns and it’s taking us once again to the riveting world of samurai adventures. Onimusha: Warlords is a polished remaster of the classic PlayStation 2 game way back 2001.

With its release on the Switch, expect a brand new form of mayhem right at the palm of your hands. Although it doesn’t have much of a difference compared it its original, this Switch version is a good start for a whole new series of third-party games. It comes out sometime this 2019.
Digimon Survive
Pokemon might be everywhere but that doesn't mean they've monopolized the Pocket Monster genre. There's still plenty of love to give to Digimon's loveable digital bestiary.

Diving into the world of survival sim RPG, Digimon Survive will feel a lot different from their previous games. Instead of traditional turn-based RPGS, it's gonna centered around Fire Emblem-like strategy.

But the game’s biggest addition is none other than its multiplayer. Players can finally enjoy a limitless RPG experience where they craft, survive and fight enemies to live the next day. We can’t wait until this comes out sometime in 2019.
King of the Hat
If you think this just gonna be some regular old platformer, you're wrong. Packaged in cutesy pixel visuals and filled happy-looking sprites, King of the Hat is actually one of the most ruthless fighting games out there. In a world where the hat is both source of life and weapon of enemy destruction, use your arsenal of combat skills to outmatch your opponents. Starting out as Kickstarter campaign, King of the Hat is endlessly charming, offering 15 different characters, each as silly as the last.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses
No, this isn't another spinoff. I mean, don't get us wrong, Fire Emblem Warriors was okay, but there's nothing quite like the deep strategies and stories of the mainline Fire Emblem series. Making a home on the Nintendo 3DS, this 16th entry will be the first in over ten years to be kind of on home console level.
Granted the Switch is a hybrid platform. We're mostly hoping it'll translate to more firepower for the game. Back with their tradition tactical turn-based battles, roam around the new world of Fodlan and meet what might be the heads of the three titular houses. Suffering from a bit of a delay, the wait will hopefully be worth it in the end. Coming out Spring 2019

Maid of Sker
Based on a true story of Elizabeth Williams, Welsh developer Wales Interactive immerses in an eerie kind of adventure. If there's one thing striking about the game, it's the atmosphere. With their history of VR games, this one is also a dive into another kind of realism.
Using 4k visuals, Maid of Sker put us right smack in the shoes of their tragic characters.

RPG Maker MV
For a company that prides itself with unlocking our creativity, it makes plenty of sense to offer something like this on the console. Turn your videogame developer dreams into a mini reality. With the RPG Maker's tools, you'll be able to create brand new role-playing games in the style of classic Japanese games like Final Fantasy. The RPG Maker, while not exactly a game, isn't an entirely new concept.

With the Switch's online capabilities, you can discover even more diamonds in the rough or let a friend play out yours. Keyboards not included, it's set to release on Feb 26, 2019
Animal Crossing
Another name that's been a standard on almost every Nintendo console out there, Animal Crossing is finally making its way to the Switch. What it's gonna be about, we're not entirely sure yet. But, it sure is comforting to know we're gonna get our hands on a new and comforting world of anthropomorphic animals. A series that's made a name for being an overall feelgood simulation game since its western localization on the GameCube.
Going by the "if it ain't broken principle," Animal Crossing's winnning hasn't really changed much since then. But, I'm sure we'd all love to see bigger worlds and newer tasks to fulfill once it comes out sometime in 2019.
Trials Rising
This is the first new title in the Trials series since 2014's Trials Fusion. With more than four years of preparation, we're expecting big things to come in this installment. Opening new horizons with its move to the 2.5th Dimension, conquer trials anew in scenic and exotic locations around the globe. Hoping to add to their unique brand of enjoyment is their new Tandem Bike mode. Hilarity ensues as you and a friend control a single bike together.

Daemon X Machina
For a surprise announcement at E3, MARVELOUS' mech fighting game has caused quite a stir in the community. Described as the most metal game at the event by Polygon, they aren't wrong. Trailer music and obvious pun aside, DAEMON X MACHINA seems to have awakened the sleeping spirits of the Armored Core fanbase. Aside from filling in a void for mecha game on hiatus.
DAEMON x MACHINA also has the charm of its unique artstyle and interactive gameplay to fallback on. ANd that's still not counting endless possibilities of its local and online multiplayer options. Already with tank throwing and on-foot gameplay on display, it's official release will come sometime in 2019
Descent

Relive your childhood memories when it comes out this first quarter of 2019
The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game
Following the footsteps of Blizzard, Dota, Gwent, and the Elder Scrolls, Tolkien's Middle Earth masterpiece looks to jump on the digital cardgame market. And if there's one series whose lore is deep and mystifying enough to perpetually drown in, it's Lord of the Rings. Already a successful boardgame, this digital adaptation may not be as complete as its physical counterpart, but its visuals does serve to add to that feeling of adventuring around Tolkien's vast kingdoms. Released on Steam Early Access, the game currently has mostly positive reviews, which is good news for anyone looking to buy it on their Switch. It's set to release in 2019
Town (Tentative Title)
Yeah, that's not the most appealing title. They're working on it, is what's important. Other than that, there's many reasons to be excited. First being that this game is developed by the same people who made Pokemon. And, while it isn't Pokemon, it looks promising either way. If Pokemon is to making friends with the monsters around the world, Town is an RPG centered around a young boy defending his village from them. That's gonna be hard, considering how adorable the attacking creatures still are. Unfortunately, there's still not a lot of details about the game. Given Game Freak's RPG history though, we're pretty confident about this one. It's coming out sometime in 2019
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
A full-blown remaster of the last decent Final Fantasy game from Square before they butcher their future titles with bad decision making.

ATLUS’ original JRPG before Persona arrived is just about to get better. Shin Megami Tensei’s latest sequel is still in heavy development phase, but its promises and ambition are staggering. This role-playing game is set in Modern Day Tokyo and will feature the notable gameplay elements from previous SMT games including the ability to fuse and talk to demons, but with a few surprises.
Knowing ATLUS, it’s gonna be amazing. The JRPG elements might rival to its other spin-off success, Persona, and could potentially bridge the gap from its PS4 exclusivity to the Switch. Unfortunately for V, no release date yet.
Luigi's Mansion 3
Doing a bit of trolling by prefacing it with a Luigi Mansion remake exclusively for the 3DS, Nintendo bounced back for Switch fans with this brand new adventure round haunted halls. (You're probably still thinking about that Luigi Mansion remake, though, right?) The latest in one of the few Luigi-centric spinoffs, the green Mario brother steps up to the plate for another ghost-hunting expedition around a scary old haunted house. A well-loved title on the Game Cube, there's not much details about this newest installment. We're expecting to hear more before its release sometime in 2019
Pokémon (Tentative Title)
With all the Pokemon hype going around the new Let's Go games, Nintendo's still very mum about the upcoming core Pokemon title that's supposedly releasing on the Switch. If you're getting a little impatient, so are we. According to some speculations though, it'll come as a Pokemon as an X and Y style featuring 8th gen pokemon. But none of that's certain. With not so much as a trailer, there's really not much to say about the game, except that we're all really looking forward to it and it's coming out sometime in 2019.
