Super Mario Maker 2
Like its predecessor, Super Mario Maker 2 lets you make your very own courses using assets from pretty much any of the side-scrolling Mario games. This one packs more tools, items and features for you to create absolutely wild, near-unfinishable levels.
The title will hit the Nintendo Switch in June this year. Check out the announcement trailer below.
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
Yep, a full remake of this bad boy is coming later this year. Suss the details at the link below.
Tetris 99
