Nintendo Download: Where Are the Rebel Bases Now?

After what seems like an eternity in development, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga finally arrives this week. It joins MLB The Show 22 and more.

Feel the power of LEGO

For Star Wars fans, games have been a mixed bag as of late. There’ve been quite a few of them, but most have been re-releases and remasters. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga then, is a nice break.

A wholly new experience, The Skywalker Saga is a LEGO-tized retelling of the entire saga, all 3 trilogies. Since this is LEGO too, it’s chock full of characters, and in-game LEGO-builds.

But that is far from all this coming week, as the formerly PlayStation-exclusive MLB The Show debuts on the Switch. The 2022 edition of the title look to bring pretty much everything over from the PlayStation platform that birthed it, including the Road to the Show mode.

And both of those stars-of-the-week are on top of the usual assortment of smaller launches. There are a bunch of those this week too, so scroll on down to check ’em all out.
