Bring joy home with some Nintendo Switch games that everyone in the family is going to enjoy. This year the selection of games is better than ever and there are choices for each member of the family, plus you can always go back to prior releases for the classic games we all love. (Some titles will be available later in the year).

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

​It’s up to Zelda and her wisdom to save the kingdom of Hyrule in a brand-new story in The Legend of Zelda series. The people of Hyrule are being stolen away by strange rifts that have appeared, with a certain swordsman among the missing. Team up with the mysterious fairy, Tri, and use the power of the Tri Rod to create echoes – imitations of things found in the environment. Then recreate those echoes whenever you like to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Use echoes of water blocks to reach new heights, make bridges out of old beds, throw rocks at foes – or find your own creative combination of echoes to do things your way. You can even create echoes of monsters to fight at your side in combat!

Super Mario Party Jamboree

​Mario and friends are arriving on an enormous island resort for the latest entry in the Mario Party series! Explore five new game boards: ride the escalators in Rainbow Galleria, stay on track in Roll ’em Raceway and mix things up with an active volcano in Goomba Lagoon, just to name a few. Two boards from previous Mario Party games are making a return, too! In addition, over 110 minigames are available to play — the largest selection in the Mario Party series to date.
 
Experience action-packed challenges, puzzles to test your wits and some minigames that feature motion controls. That’s not all — up to 20 players can go head-to-head in online* play in the Koopathlon mode. Try your best to come out on top!

Mario & Luigi: Brothership

The brothers are back for a brand-new entry in the Mario & Luigi series, where they set sail on Shipshape Island (part ship, part island) to navigate the vast world of Concordia. Play as the mustachioed pair and explore islands that range from tropical rainforests to bustling cities. Along the way, meet new friends who will help you on your journey and encounter familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom like Peach and Bowser. You’ll have to keep the “Brothership” afloat and rely on Mario and Luigi’s bond to save the day by employing Bros. Moves to get past obstacles and powerful Bros. Attacks to claim victory in a dynamic twist on turn-based combat!

Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer

​Punch and dodge to the beat in the next entry of the Fitness Boxing series! Pair up with your choice of six fully voiced virtual instructors with customizable outfits and hairstyles—and then get your groove on in 30 new instrumental songs, some of which are inspired by catchy pop tunes.
 
Jump into a single Quick Workout, or build an exercise routine that fits your life.
