Nintendo Download: Thieves, Demons and Jedis

A packed week on the Switch brings a cornucopia of big names, including the Grand Theft Auto remasters, Shin Megami Tensei V, and Star Wars.

Bringing it back

There are a bunch of new games landing on the Nintendo Switch this week, as usual. But even so, it might be the remakes and re-releases that are the bigger story. And that is because we’re talking about Star Wars and Grand Theft Auto.

Both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition arrive for the console, bringing a heaping helping of fan-favorite gaming action. As mentioned though, there’s a lot of new stuff as well, like Shin Megami Tensei V.
