The Turok games are iconic pieces of the Nintendo 64 library, and they’ll soon get a new lease on life with Nintendo Switch ports. Fans of the originals will no doubt be excited, but this is also a welcome opportunity to introduce these two games to a whole new audience. Turok: Dinosaur Hunter comes out very soon, on March 18, though there’s no date yet for Turok 2: Seeds of Evil.
Lyrica is another game to look out for, as it builds up the Switch’s already impressive selection of rhythm games. Coming from Taiwanese developer RNOVA Studio, it’s a story-driven game inspired by classical Chinese poetry, with note charts build around gorgeous calligraphy.
What are you most looking forward to?
(Important note: we’re not including announcements of Switch as a platform for upcoming games, which would usually get their own news coverage anyway. This is list is purely for announcements of Switch ports / re-releases and the like.)
