This edition of Blizzard's hero shooter includes the main game and 15 bonus skins. Since new heroes are added to the game for free, you can jump right in and choose from 31 different tank, damage, and support characters. The Legendary Edition also includes three months of Nintendo Switch Online multiplayer for those who've yet to sign up for the service.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition -- October 15

Available on: Switch

No Caption Provided

This version of The Witcher 3 includes Geralt's 2015 adventure plus all previously released DLC and two full expansions: Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine. Altogether, that's potentially hundreds of hours of RPG questing and monster-slaying to dig into. Not bad for a port that came together in just 12 months.

Little Town Hero -- October 16

Available on: Switch

No Caption Provided

Little Town Hero comes from Game Freak, best known for the Pokemon series. This RPG is set in a single town that the citizens never leave...until monsters start showing up. Little Town Hero's combat doesn't rely on grinding--it's all about strategizing at whatever power level you've currently reached. Also the soundtrack is composed by Undertale creator Toby Fox, so that's pretty rad.

Ring Fit Adventure is a follow-up to Wii Fit, but with more ways to actually get you up and moving. Ring Fit includes an adventure mode, custom workout playlists, and minigames, all of which are played using the new Ring-Con peripheral and leg strap. Prepare for some serious sweat.

Battle for Neighborville is the latest in the Plants vs Zombies shooter series, once again pitting the fighting flora against the living dead.

You can hop into competitive multiplayer modes or explore Neighborville itself in co-op.

More Coverage:
