No Man’s Sky is coming to the Nintendo Switch after being released for most other consoles in the past years. This action-adventure survival game is built around five pillars: exploration, survival, combat, trading, and base building.

The game is an open world with over 18 quintillion planets created through procedural generation. Kind of like Minecraft, but in space.

While the game had mixed reviews on release, many of its features have been improved for the Nintendo Switch in later years.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers – October 14th

The long-awaited third edition of our favorite Umbra Witch, developed by PlatinumGames, is finally coming out. The action-adventure hack and slash game was announced in 2017.

In Bayonetta 3, players will control Bayonetta as she fights enemies using melee attacks and gunplay. She’ll have unique mechanics known as “Demon Slave,” “Demon Masquerade,” and even a display mode, “Naive Angel Mode”. She’ll be able to take control of an Infernal Demon or even fuse with a summoned demon to gain new magical abilities.

This last display mode conceals nudity during cinematics and gameplay.

Bayonetta 3 will be available for the Nintendo Switch.
