As we approach the midpoint of the year, Nintendo Switch is unveiling innovative additions to its game library that promise to take players’ experiences to the next level. From challenging your perspective of reality in Maquette to exploring and battling monstrous creatures in Cassette Beasts, get ready for fresh adventures like never before.
Embark on a Mind-Bending Journey in Maquette
Have you ever wished to travel in a world where everything around you is simultaneously minuscule and massive? Here’s your chance. Maquette, the first-person recursive puzzle game on Nintendo Switch, takes you into an Escher-esque universe where every building, plant, and object undergoes a shift in scale. As you travel towards the world’s center, you’ll feel like a giant, towering over buildings and walls. But venture further out and prepare to feel dwarfed as the surroundings grow in size – to the point where mere cracks in the ground transform into gaping chasms.
In Maquette, you’ll navigate through the complexities of everyday problems wrapped in a modern-day love story. Here, even the tiniest of issues can morph into insurmountable obstacles, challenging you at every step. Ready for the challenge? Solve the puzzle today on Nintendo Switch!
Adventure, Battle, Transform in Cassette Beasts
Welcome to New Wirral, a remote island inhabited by creatures beyond your wildest dreams – and hopefully not your worst nightmares. In Cassette Beasts, you’ll join a brave cast of characters who wield cassette tapes to transform for battle. To find your way home, you’ll need to explore every inch of the island and record monsters to your trusty cassette tapes to gain their abilities.
In a unique twist, these cassette tapes allow you to morph into monsters for battle, putting you on an equal footing with your foes. Getting close to your companion has perks – while transformed, you can combine your strengths in battle to create unique fusion forms, fully-animated and incredibly powerful.
In addition, the game’s rich open world allows certain monster abilities to be used in human form, assisting you in exploring, solving puzzles, and locating dungeons. Whether it’s gliding, flying, swimming, climbing, dashing, going invisible, or turning magnetic, you’ll use these skills to navigate the island. Moreover, you’ll never fight alone! Form bonds with a diverse cast of human companions, help them accomplish personal goals, and strengthen your team. Ready to record your adventures? Cassette Beasts is available today!

In addition, celebrate International Museum Day virtually! Visit Blather’s Museum in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Join Tom Nook to help bring Blathers, the museum curator, to your island. You can even search for fossils, fish, bugs, and art to donate to the exhibit!

This event, however, ends on May 31, so make sure to secure your stamps!
