Welcome to yet another new week in video games! When it comes to major releases, this week is somewhat slim barring the obvious, but there are still a few gems here and there that you might have missed what with the word being on fire and everything. The following includes a variety of titles releasing across various platforms, but it is admittedly a heavy week for the Nintendo Switch specifically.

Now, to be clear, this is far from an exhaustive list; we're not including absolutely everything set to release. And, by and large, we're focusing on new releases, remasters, or remakes rather than ports. (Though, there are a few of the latter included.) Additionally, the order here is purely determined by how excited we are to check them out, and aren't necessarily reflective of their comparative quality or exact release.

Keep reading to check out a bunch of the new video games releasing this week! Are you excited for anything particular? What's the new game release that you're most excited for? Let us know in the comments, or hit me up directly on Twitter at @rollinbishop to talk all things gaming!
