Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (June 24)

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is a musou-style game set in an alternative timeline of 2019’s Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Developed by Omega Force and published by Nintendo, this game brings back the addictive hack-and-slash gameplay you’ll use to mow through hordes of enemies. However, unlike other musou-style action games, Three Hopes blends strategical elements, such as different classes and a battle map you can use to assign orders to your teammates.

The newest entry in the Fire Emblem series also greatly builds off the extensive worldbuilding from Three Houses that makes you care for each character and the continent of Fódlan altogether. With fast-paced gameplay paired with rich storytelling, musou fans will definitely want to check out Three Hopes. The new game comes to Nintendo Switch on June 24.

Capcom Fighting Collection (June 24)

Fighting game fans won’t want to miss Capcom Fighting Collection! Get ready to throw down in ten classic fighting games from Capcom’s past. Featuring deep cuts from Capcom’s library such as Darkstalkers, Night Warriors and Vampire Savior this compilation doesn’t hold any punches.

In addition, Capcom Fighting Collection will not only mark the first time Red Earth gets a console release, but also the first time it gets an English release too.
