The year of 2018 is starting to heat up with increasingly bigger and bigger games.

Super Smash Bros. for the Switch is planned for a 2018 release. 

The notoriously terrible Shaq Fu has become a cult classic, emblematic not only of bad 90s game design, but a confusing era of celebrity-endorsed videogames. 

If it handles as well as other Switch ports, it will become the ideal platform for a game like Pillars 2. Yup, a long, winding RPG epic that's playable in bed, on the train, and more importantly, on the toilet. 

An indie title finding success on the Switch marks a good start for Nintendo in 2018.

It's a pretty groan-inducing boner for an exciting product that, despite reservations, is generating real excitement.

It's a "new line of interactive build-and-play experiences that combine DIY creations with the magic of Nintendo Switch,” says Nintendo.

A short but packed Nintendo Direct gave Switch owners an idea of what to expect in the coming months. 

Dark Souls: Remastered comes with the original game, Artorias of the Abyss DLC, and an increase in the number of players in multiplayer.

Not much in the way of details or insights was presented about the upcoming game, though Fils-Aimé stressed that this was "for all of the fans that love what Platinum Game does."

Capcom also announced the rerelease of the Mega Man Legacy collections and Mega Man X.

This week will see a massive update that will most certainly reignite excitement for this unique squid kid shooter. New maps, an increased level cap, more hairstyles, more music and over a hundred new pieces of gear.
