Summer’s almost over, but Nintendo has one more big game ready to go for the Switch…
The consolemaker has teamed up with Ubisoft to produce Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, a strategy game that brings those rascally Rabbids to the Mushroom Kingdom for the first time. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle will be available to download on Tuesday, August 29.
Several other games were added to the Switch eShop today including Forma.8, a minimalist MetroidVania that was originally released for the Wii U; Piczle Lines DX, a puzzle game that combines color-matching and number-crunching; and Puzzled, a Tetris-like puzzle game that was originally released for the NeoGeo in 1990.
You can learn more about all of these games after the break.
