Did you manage to snag a pre-order for the Nintendo Switch 2 during the mad rush last night or early this morning? If luck was on your side, here’s some exciting news: Sonic is officially joining the roster of characters making waves on launch day. SEGA has revealed that “SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS” will drop on June 5th.
Sonic isn’t showing up alone. He’ll be part of a lineup that includes “Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut” and “Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S,” all of which you can pre-order physically or digitally right now.
Let’s dive into what each game has to offer:
“SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS” lets you step into Shadow’s shoes through a fresh story campaign, showcasing his unique abilities that make him the Ultimate Life Form. You’ll also get to enjoy a fully remastered version of “Sonic Generations,” which is a nostalgic trip through some of the best-loved 3D and 2D Sonic stages, now boasting enhanced visuals and fresh bonus content.
“Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S” is bringing the heat with its new “Puyo Tetris Doubles” mode. This mode spices up the classic puzzle action, allowing pairs to team up for 2v2 battles on a shared board to unleash crazy combos. It promises an array of fun both locally and online, supporting up to 4 players. With a roster of 40 lively characters, including our speedy friend Sonic, each character comes with their unique stats and abilities to keep things interesting.
For fans of gripping narratives, “Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut” is a must. This definitive edition of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s beloved origin story for the Yakuza series has been enhanced for the Nintendo Switch 2. This updated version introduces new story cutscenes and the thrilling “Red Light Raid” online multiplayer mode. Team up with buddies to fend off waves of adversaries. The game also now features voiceovers in English and Chinese, along with subtitles in French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.
If you’re into pre-ordering, don’t miss “RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army,” set for release on June 19th. And keep an eye out for “Two Point Museum,” which is scheduled to join the lineup later this year.
