Top Upcoming Nintendo Switch Exclusives of 2019

Yoshi’s Crafted World

Developer: Good-Feel
Publisher: Nintendo
Platforms: NS
Release: 2019

Yoshi’s Crafted World was teased for a short while now and it appears that we’re going to see this game release into the market for the Nintendo Switch within the Spring season of 2019. For those unfamiliar with the game, this is a brand new Yoshi title that still contains the side-scrolling platforming gameplay that the franchise is known for. Similar to the Paper Mario series, Yoshi’s Crafted World will see our favorite dinosaur fighting off Shy Guys and other hostilities in a construction paper style world.

Within this game, players will still have to swallow enemies and turn them to eggs in order to destroy them but there’s one slight unique twist into this installment. This game will have players go through levels twice where Yoshi can flip the level world around revealing a whole different side full of other puzzles and collectibles that were previously unavailable or only capable of being solved by viewing the level from a particular viewpoint.

Astral chain

Developer: Platinum Games
Publisher: Nintendo
Platforms: NS
Release: August 30, 2019

If you enjoyed the works development team Platinum Games has been delivering over the past few years then you’ll want to keep tabs on Astral Chain. During February’s Nintendo Direct we were shown off this new video game title which definitely has the same vibe and action-packed gameplay that is found in the Bayonetta series. We don’t know what exactly the story will be about yet, from the announcement trailer we see two police officers teaming up and taking down some large beasts through means of various chains and weaponry. Unfortunately, that’s all we really got from Nintendo at the current moment, but we do know that this title will be coming out on August 30, 2019, so more information will likely come out during this year’s E3 expo event.

Animal Crossing 2019

Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Platforms: NS
Release: 2019

During the September 2018 Nintendo Direct the video game industry giant unveiled a few 3DS and Nintendo Switch video games that were in the works for 2019. However, like other Nintendo Directs, the company unveiled one final game in a short tease leaving us wondering as to what we can expect for another presentation at a later date.

The final tease during the Nintendo Direct was the unveiling of a new Animal Crossing video game which will be a Nintendo Switch exclusive. Unfortunately, as mentioned, Nintendo didn’t unveil any new information other than that the development studio is actively working on a brand new Animal Crossing installment for the Nintendo Switch.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order

Developer: Team Ninja
Publisher: Nintendo
Platforms: NS
Release: 2019

It’s been a number of years now since we have received a new installment to the Marvel Ultimate Alliance video game franchise but during The Game Awards 2018 we were surprised by the third installment announcement. Though what may be most surprising is that this upcoming video game will be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. Regardless, the upcoming title will take place after the events of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 with the main antagonist duo being Galactus and Thanos. We’re still relatively left in the dark as to what all we can expect from the game, but we do know that Marvel’s heroes along with The Masters of Evil are in a grand battle against Galactus in order to save earth.

Super Mario Maker 2

Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Platforms: NS
Release: June 2019

After previously getting its start on the last generation Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems, Nintendo was proud to announce a much-desired sequel to Super Mario Maker. The announcement came during February’s Nintendo Direct where we got a look at the new setup and tools that players will have access to when creating custom Super Mario levels. This trailer didn’t get into the fine details as to what all has changed but Nintendo did confirm that there will be a few new features along with elements for the title when it’s set to release in June of this year. For those of you who may not be aware of what Super Mario Maker was we’ll give a quick recap. Super Mario Maker is a video game in which players are given the tools to create their own custom Super Mario levels.

Outside of being able to customize how the level plays out with various enemies and obstacles, players could tweak the assets and visuals from the variety of Super Mario video game titles. Now with a sequel underway and a popular handheld console hybrid, we imagine that there will be a very active community of players who will deliver unique Mario levels online for others to enjoy.
