Switch Announcements: Doom, Wolfenstein 2, Skyrim and More

by | Sep 14, 2017 | News, News Section, Videogames

Nintendo had yet another Direct event this week and they dropped quite a few bombshells in the process. New games were announced, release dates were revealed, but still no announcements were made about a Super Smash Bros. for the Switch.


Legend of Zelda Skyrim

We’ll start with the three biggest games on the docket. Doom, Wolfenstein 2 and Skyrim are all making their way to the switch. Of course, we already knew about Skyrim, that news broke long ago, but now the game has an official Release date. Skyrim for the Switch will release on November 17 and it will feature the full game plus the Dragonborn, Dawnguard, and Hearthfire expansions. There’ll also be Zelda-themed armor exclusive to the Switch version of the game.

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus drops for the PS4, PC and Xbox One on October 27, but the newly announced Switch version of the game won’t come out until sometime in 2018. Doom on the other hand, will be arriving this Holiday season, though Nintendo refrained from giving a precise date. Switch’s Doom will include both the single player campaign and the online multiplayer, but it will lack SnapMap.

We happy few playable characters

Other release dates announced include Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Nov. 28, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on Dec. 1, Kirby Star Allies for Spring 2018 and Dragon Quest Builders for 2018.

The Driect’s other big reveal came in the form of another Super Mario Odyssey trailer. In the trailer, we see Mario’s nipples for the first time *gasp.* And while that news seems to be the thing that people are getting wrapped up in, the trailer also revealed a brand new kingdom called ‘Shiveria.’ It’s an icy world and probably won’t be the place you’ll find a shirtless Mario. Nonetheless, it looks cool and brings yet another new location to the game

For all the trailers and news from Nintendo’s event, check out the Direct replay on their website.
