It’s a big week for Nintendo Switch gamers, with new Smash characters, and games like G.I. Joe, FIFA 21, the Pikmin 3 demo and a selection of Indies.

Smashing once again

Just when you thought it was safe to move on, Super Smash Bros Ultimate makes things interesting once again. The Nintendo fighting game has a pair of new fighters arriving this week in the form of Minecraft’s Steve and Alex.

There’s a lot more though, including a big selection of indie games, and a Pikmin 3 demo. That’s plus the return of FIFA for 2021, and a new G.I. Joe game based on the current action figure line.

Kind of a big week then.
