Bond with your sweetie with these fun co-op games for Switch
Just Dance 2022
If you’re looking for exercise, cool tunes and group fun, look no further than the Just Dance series. You’ll step, hop and bounce along to new and old hits from the likes of Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake and Meghan Trainor. And once you’ve sweated through the 40 included tracks, you can sign up for Just Dance Unlimited for access to hundreds more songs, spanning genres from all over the world (and also from past games). The first month is free and you can cancel anytime. As for the game itself, it'll normally run you $50, but right now it's a whopping 50 percent off — just $25.
This title has over 4,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, including parents and grandparents who call it "fun for the whole family and a good cardio workout" and "so much fun even for my toddlers." One even says "I am notorious for demanding a wiggle break when the kids are having an epic gaming session. Now, I know that they have no excuses to not wiggle."
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Mario is pretty delightful, if not especially funny… but when you toss in the unpredictable and goofy Rabbids, anything can happen! In this adventure for Switch, Mario and friends must team up with the Rabbids to save the Mushroom Kingdom, using a variety of special weapons and powers you won’t find in a normal Super Mario game. You can even team up with your own friends in co-op mode. This hilarious title typically goes for $60, but right now it’s a steal at $20!
Players found a lot to like about this strategy title, with one saying, "The campaign and Donkey Kong DLC are excellent! Although the co-op is limited, it is also enjoyable. However, my favorite aspect of the game is the versus mode. The turn-based strategy versus mode allows for rich, complex, and competitive gameplay." Another player declared: "A great strategy game for all ages."
Kirby Star Allies
The Kirby series is suited for gamers who want a more laid-back experience, with one dad calling this installment a "great game to play with friends and family" that "has a lot of fun abilities to team up with." He also said, "If you want some nice relaxing local multiplayer with pleasing graphics and good gameplay, then I’d suggest picking this up." And a long-time Kirby fan said it's "one of the best Kirby games in the franchise" and "a MUST-BUY for any Kirby fan, no matter what the skill level." And now you can save 25 percent!
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield
You might be familiar with Pokémon Go on your phone, but why not give the main series a try by picking up Pokémon Sword for your Nintendo Switch? Explore the Galar region, fill out your Pokédex with all manner of interesting and strange creatures and maybe even save the world in the process! For even more fun pick up a copy of Pokémon Shield, the companion game, and gift it to a friend, family member or romantic partner for some cooperative Pokémon collecting! Each game is only $50 right now!
Experience some virtual romance with these great role-playing games for Switch
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
If you like school and relationship drama, then Three Houses is the game for you. The tactical game features swords and magic, and it puts you in control of the story. You can't help but be invested in the characters' fates, as one player explained: "This game is wholesome and gets you EXTREMELY involved with the characters of the house you choose. It’s delightful. At the same time, the stakes are higher than ever, as you form a real attachment to your characters. The game is also heartbreaking." Better buy some tissues!
Catherine: Full Body
Vincent is a bit of a playboy, but maybe he’s getting too old for that… at least, that’s what his girlfriend Katherine thinks. But then he meets the young, playful Catherine. And what about the cute Rin, also known as Qatherine? Just when you think Vincent has enough trouble juggling three women, he keeps having these mysterious dreams where he must climb a giant puzzle of blocks, and failure has deadly consequences! This stellar remake of the PlayStation 3 title has action, romance and even a dash of horror — and right now you can snag it for only $26 at Amazon!
Shoppers love this game, with one saying they "played the first one and loved it so I wanted to buy this one too. It’s very similar to the first (which is how it’s supposed to be) but it’s still new and different. Really cool puzzle/strategy game that allows you to make choices through the game. Definitely recommend." You don't need to have played the original, either; this game has everything from that game and more!
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Maybe you'd like to skip all things romantic this month. Well, this might sound a little crazy, but this role-playing game based on the crude cartoon from Comedy Central is actually really good. The city of South Park is fun to explore, the dialogue is razor-sharp and there are great items to discover. The combat is also awesome. This package even includes the first game, The Stick of Truth, as a bonus! We can't recommend South Park: The Fractured But Whole enough, and right now you can give it a shot for only $20.
Shoppers agree, with one saying "If you like the show, you'll love the game. All the characters from the show coming together for a hilarious game that's just a good time." But even if you aren't the biggest fan, The Fractured But Whole also "challenges your problem solving and analyzing skills," and "it's funny and there's so much to do!"
Get out your aggression with these action titles for Switch
Assassin's Creed III
There’s a lot you didn’t learn about the American Revolution in school. You certainly didn’t read about a secret society pulling the strings and a band of assassins trying to stop them. That's what makes this historically based game so much fun — the way it plays with real-life figures and events. This package gives you two thrilling colonial adventures: the remastered version of Assassin’s Creed III, which originally came out on the PlayStation 3, and Liberation, a title that came out on the handheld Vita featuring a female assassin and set in New Orleans. It may not be the most accurate version of events, but it’s certainly the most fun! Save 50 percent off the retail price right now!
Resident Evil Triple Pack
Some people are Valentine’s Day people, and some people are Halloween people and can’t wait until October to get their fills of spooks and monsters. Why not scratch that horror itch eight months early by picking up the Resident Evil Triple Pack, a collection of three action-packed installments from the classic zombie franchise? This cartridge contains Resident Evil 4, 5 and 6, for hours and hours of terrifying fun! "Love these games," one gamer said. "Even as a kid they scared me, still do occasionally!"
Mortal Kombat 11
It's safe to say that the Mortal Kombat franchise is a classic at this point, and the recent Mortal Kombat 11 has everything gamers love about the series: Crazy, imaginative characters, thrilling moves and even silly features like "Friendship" to finish off your enemies. This version ups the stakes by adding characters from other franchises, like the Joker, Robocop and Rambo. Sounds crazy, but it's also super fun and on sale for only $20!
