Lara Croft returns this week, and PS4 and Xbox One owners will be able to pick up the Limited Steelbook Edition or Croft Steelbook Edition of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The finale to the “Origin Trilogy” will also be available to download for the PC.

Sports fans will also get the chance to dig into a few new titles this week, as 2K Sports will launch NBA 2K19 for the PC (download only) PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. The publisher also teamed up with Microsoft to give prospective Xbox One purchasers the chance to jump right in with the Xbox One S 1TB Console + NBA 2K19 Bundle or the Xbox One X 1TB Console + NBA 2K19 Bundle. And don’t worry, EA Sports won’t be giving sports fans the cold shoulder, and that’s because NHL 19 will be available for the PS4 and Xbox One.

Switch owners will be able to put their crafting skills to the test this week with the release of Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit, the third Labo set from the consolemaker. This time around, players will be able to build a vehicle that transforms between a Car, a Submarine, and a Plane with the included key.

And if you still purchase your PC games on DVD, THQ Nordic will reissue several games previously published by Microsoft this week, including ReCore: Definitive Edition, Super Lucky’s Tale, Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection, and a few others.

A full rundown of this week’s new retail release can be found after the break.

Drive a car, a plane, and a submarine this September with the Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit

Posted on July 27, 2018 by John Scalzo

Nintendo promised that more Nintendo Labo kits would be coming in 2018, and the third cardboard construction set was revealed late last night by the consolemaker.

The Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit gives players the opportunity to build a steering wheel (for a car), a flight stick (for a plane), and a ship’s wheel (for a submarine)… and they’ll be able to switch between them at will using two cardboard keys as they “explore a mysterious world”:

Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit will unlock even more ways for people to make, play and discover together, as they speed through races, battle cars equipped with extendable arms and explore a mysterious world. Each vehicle features its own controls and special moves, and with the second Key, players can even invite a co-pilot along on their in-game journey. Interacting with the assembled Toy-Con creations instantly translates into in-game actions to create a truly immersive experience – from pulling the cord on the Car to pop a wheelie, pushing the button on the Submarine to launch a grappling hook and so much more.

The Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit will be available for the Switch on September 14. The game will be priced at $69.99, and its adorable first trailer has been embedded above.
