LetsPlayVideoGames reports that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and new Super Mario and Splatoon titles will be available at the launch of the Nintendo Switch in March of next year.
The unnamed Super Mario title will “apparently feature a 3D open world hub from which different worlds can be selected, with multiple objectives to complete in each, much like Mario 64 or Mario Galaxy,” the site alleges.
“The multiplayer teased in the trailer will be a co-op version of the main game, with both players able to work together toward objectives, but with a form of tether to keep the players from going too far from each other,” it contineud. “Player two’s gameplay will not hold player one back from progress, but player two can be the one to complete an objective and be shown as receiving the level end reward. A screen will then show how much of the progress toward that success was down to each player, like how many red coins each player collected in a red coin stage.”
Additionally, the new Splatoon may very well be bundled with the Switch itself.
“A big part of the push for this will be a 1 vs 1 mode where two players on separate Switches can fight over a map, switching their weapon of choice at will mid-game,” the site said. “Nintendo expects the short match nature of Splatoon to translate well to handheld multiplayer, in that players need only commit a few minutes to a full multiplayer match.
“There are also plans to add additional single player content to the game, and for the Switch version of the game to have a similar free content output schedule to the one the Wii U version of the game enjoyed.”
It’s rumoured that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will now miss the Switch’s launch of March 2017.
