The Nintendo Switch is in for a tremendous year of excellent debuts, but when isn’t that the case? Nintendo continues to make amazing games that appeal to its customers and innovate on the various technological characteristics of their platforms year after year, month after month. More than a few of us here at TheGamer are checking days off our calendars, waiting for the floodgates of the new year to open, delivering a steady stream of jaw-dropping and long-awaited releases directly to our doorsteps.
What is there to say about this game that hasn’t already been said? It’s a completely new direction for the Pokemon series, and one that has many people overjoyed, because it’s been a long time coming.
While there are some iconic choices that absolutely demand a mention, there are also a handful of hidden gems slated to launch on the Switch that stoke our excitement as well. Read on to see what our most anticipated Nintendo Switch games of 2022 are.
An open world, more dynamic combat, new regional variants — these are the types of things Pokemon fans have begged for time and time again. It looks like Legends: Arceus will be a new step for a franchise that has, quite frankly, become a bit formulaic.
As we get closer to the January release date of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, ignore the inevitable hate and complaining that always comes from a loud minority with a new Pokemon game. Come to your own opinions about the game, and even if it’s not for you, try to appreciate that, finally, after all these years, the Pokemon franchise is looking in this direction.
Set in a feudal era long before the modern-day, this game will be a brand new look at the Pokemon world. You’re tasked with helping create the first Pokedex, making use of the landscape and terrain, primitive Poke Balls, stealth mechanics, and more. It has, of course, drawn comparisons to Breath of the Wild, but that’s really a compliment more than anything.
The best Pokemon anime theme song goes like this: “It’s a whole new world, with a brand new attitude.” This new world awaits you, Trainer, so as the song says, be the best that you can be.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus releases worldwide for the Nintendo Switch on January 28, 2022.
