It’s another new month of Nintendo Switch games and while we will most likely still be playing the new Pokémon Snap game, that does not mean we cannot devote a little time to some of the new titles that are on the way for May.
It is not just Pokemon that is keeping us busy either as Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to deliver huge updates on the regular and they have the Animal Crossing May Day events taking place early in the month – which includes a maze you need to try and find your way out of.
We are also keeping track of the best Nintendo Switch games on the market right now if you want more choices of things to play, but for all that is new May, scroll down and see what’s coming!

What’s new with Nintendo Switch Online in May 2021?
We are yet to hear whether there will be any new additions to Nintendo Switch Online yet, but we are not holding our breath as it is not a service that updates regularly unlike Game Pass and PS Now.
There have long been calls for the older Pokemon games to be added, just like we have the old school Mario games that are still great fun to play, but there are still no signs that this is coming. How are we supposed to catch ’em’ all if you won’t let us, Nintendo?
Don’t have Nintendo Switch Online yet? Well, you can take advantage of the 7-day free trial for the Nintendo Switch Online club, which is more than enough time to complete a few of the classic NES and SNES titles. Don’t forget to turn auto-renew off though if you do only want it for one week, though.
