Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit – New Switch Games (October 2020)
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is a toys-to-life/AR experiment that allows people to race with actual real life Karts in their home. You can create your own track and make your own obstacles while you control your RC car around your living room or wherever else you can think of –don’t do it outside though, you’re just asking for trouble.
The physical kart that comes with Mario Kart Live has a camera in front of it and can track what’s in front of it at all times, creating a very cool way to play Mario Kart.
It won’t have all of the bells and whistles that are in the mainline Mario Kart games, but it should prove to be a fun time for kids and families.
Pokemon Sword and Shield: The Crown Tundra – New Switch Games (October 2020)
The second part of the Pokemon Sword and Shield expansion pass, The Crown Tundra, is releasing this month and from the looks of it, it seems to be already look way better than The Isle of Armor.
There’s a lot of legendary Pokemon to catch and you can team up with friends and explore raid dens to battle against Dynamax Pokemon, which seems very cool even though we don’t have much info on it yet.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe – New Switch Games (October 2020)
Pikmin 3 Deluxe is a port of the Wii U title that a lot of people skipped out on due to the low sales of the console. But now, people will have a chance to experience this fantastic real-time strategy time and join forces with all of the different types of Pikmin.
This deluxe package will include all of the previously released DLC, more multiplayer functionality, and some helpful quality-of-life changes that’ll help ease in new players.
And that does it for all of the new Switch games releasing in October 2020. If you want to see all of the games that came out in September, look no further.
