Posted 20 Feb 2020 at 18:22 by Dennis Tummers
Week 8 of 2020 brings with it a list of new games to enjoy on the Nintendo Switch. WayForward (known from series such as Shantae and Mighty Switch Force) releases Vitamin Connection, a Switch-exclusive. Using a lot of the Switch's exclusive features, this game can be played solo or with a friend in co-op, both with a Joy-Con in hand.
MY.COM surprised us all by releasing Warface, an online first-person-shooter from the developers of games such as Crysis and FarCry. Being free-to-play, you can start playing this game right away (well, after a 17GB download).
The full list of new games can be found on the bottom of this article, after the highlights for this week's new releases, pre-downloads and sales.
