Tomb Raider I-III Remastered
Three absolutely beloved (and hugely influential) action platformers are returning to modern systems this year – Lara Croft’s first three games.
Expect carefully updated visuals that preserve the original games' character, and the ability to toggle new settings on and off if you want a purer old-school experience.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Nintendo has started to really mine its old library of games in the last few years with lovely remakes, and there’s another one around the corner.
Mario vs Donkey Kong will offer up a characterful platformer-slash-puzzler that delighted players years ago and promises to do the same again.

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster
You might be noticing a theme – the early stages of 2024 are full of remasters for the Switch, but we couldn’t ignore this one.
A re-release of one of our favourite retro shooters, Dark Forces is a must-play as one of the earliest truly great Star Wars games, and should be right at home on the Switch.
Unicorn Overlord
Sega brings us a new strategy RPG from the minds at Vanillaware, and while it won’t be for everyone, expect this to find a passionate fanbase.
With a winding story and loads of characters to meet, plus deep strategic options, it should be a slow burn.
Princess Peach: Showtime!
Peach is finally getting her first standalone game of the Switch era, and while it’s been years in the making it looks fresh and fun.
It looks like it will be a side-scroller, but with loads of different themes and costumes changing how Peach controls and plays depending on the level and section.
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU
This looks like a fast-paced and original new entry into the storied Metroidvania genre, with quick movement and plenty of traversal options.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Who doesn’t love Paper Mario? Another entry in the slow series of Mario role-playing games that Nintendo periodically releases, The Thousand-Year Door is a fan favourite.
It’s getting re-released on Switch with some welcome graphical upgrades and will bring a witty, quirky adventure to a whole new generation of gamers.
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
We promise, this is the last remaster on our list – but Luigi’s Mansion 2 is one of those games that landed on the Wii U and deservedly needs to resurface on the Switch where more people can actually play it.
It’s a lovely family-friendly adventure and the perfect chaser if you enjoyed Luigi’s Mansion 3 a few years back.
Planet of Lana
This lovely adventure puzzler is a side-scroller with a simply gorgeous art style and some real narrative ambition.
It tells a nice story without dialogue and is nice and short, too, so a perfect option if you’re looking for a good quick experience on Switch later this year.
Hollow Knight: Silksong
This may be the third year in a row that we’ve been convinced Silksong will arrive soon, but givenMicrosoftsaid it would be out on Xbox in 2023 it has to be around the corner now.
The long-awaited Hollow Knight sequel should bring more incredible platforming and a new, detailed world of underground areas to explore.
