Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - 18th January
Believe it or not, The Lost Crown is the first new entry in the Prince of Persia series since 2010! Thankfully, it's coming to Switch very soon indeed.
On 18th January, you'll be able to dive headfirst into a "stylish and thrilling action-adventure platformer" where the boundaries of time and space are yours to manipulate. You'll be playing as Sargon, evolving from a sword-wielding prodigy into a legend as you master acrobatic combat and unlock new Time Powers.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy - 25th January
Potentially the perfect opportunity for those who've never experienced the series before, or a great way to relive some key moments for those who have, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy packs in three games for the price of one.
The collection includes Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice, as well as the two previously DLC-only Special Episodes. And that's not all, because series fans can also dive into music and art libraries and an animation studio, where you can play around with character animations to recreate your favourite scenes. Pre-orders are now live:
Mario vs. Donkey Kong - 16th February
Game Boy Advance classic Mario vs. Donkey Kong is back on Nintendo Switch, launching for the system on 16th February.
Boasting all-new graphics, the game has players taking on a series of puzzles as Mario himself. The goal is to find each and every Mini-Mario, and to do that, you'll need to examine your surroundings in each level, work out the best route to move forward, and exercise the odd platforming skill or two along the way.
