Hogwarts Legacy – Your letter from Hogwarts arrives on Nov. 14. Take control of the action and be at the center of your own adventure in the wizarding world as you experience Hogwarts in the 1800s. In this immersive, open-world action RPG, you’ll freely roam iconic areas like Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest and the surrounding Overland area. Get sorted into your house, forge relationships and master skills to become the witch or wizard you want to be. Learn spells, brew potions, grow plants and tend to magical beasts along your journey. Make allies, battle dark wizards and ultimately decide the fate of the wizarding world – your legacy is what you make of it. Pre-order Hogwarts Legacy ahead of its launch on Nov. 14 and get a bonus Onyx Hippogriff!
Super Crazy Rhythm Castle – An unforgettably chaotic rhythm adventure is coming to the Nintendo Switch system! Time your button presses with the music to solve puzzles and battle bosses while rocking out to over 30 thrilling tracks, including songs from fan-favorite Konami games. Can you perfect “Bloody Tears” and “Vampire Killer” from the Castlevania series? Turn up the volume for Super Crazy Rhythm Castle when it launches on Nov. 14. Pre-orders are available now in Nintendo eShop and in the My Nintendo Store on Nintendo.com.
