The sequel to the highly-praised RTS Mario + Rabbids gets its first substantial gameplay video since its reveal last June. It also now officially has a release date of October 20th, with pre-orders available today. If you want to know more about the game, Ubisoft is giving it an extended showcase tomorrow at 5pm BST/12pm ET.

Sonic Frontiers

Sonic Frontiers got a more impressive-looking trailer than what was shown off at his own show. However, the Direct showed off some brand new footage of “a special zone called cyberspace”. This “special zone” looks to be more linear challenges that you can get to from warp points in the open zones. The game is set to come to Switch “this Holiday”.

Persona 3, 4, and 5 Switch Ports

Following the announcement of Persona 3 through 5 coming to Xbox Game Pass, many were hoping for the games to come to Switch. It seems those prayers were answered, as Persona 5 Royal comes to Switch on October 21st. Beyond that, Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden will be coming to Switch at a yet unconfirmed date.
