OCTOBER GAMES

OUT THIS MONTH

SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY GENRE: ACT/ADV PLATFORM: SWITCH RELEASE: 27/10/17 MULTIPLAYER: YES

Mario is back! He might not be a plumber anymore, but that doesn't stop the little red-clad man from taking over the world. Returning to his 3D roots of Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 64 , Mario is having a lot of fun gallivanting around with his new pal, Cappy. His versatile new headwear can be used as a springboard to jump off, or even take on the personas of other enemies and even NPCs! This one is shaping up to be huge, and is one of the most anticipated launches on the Switch since its reveal.

Did you know? Mario is no longer considered a plumber?!

Is it really happening? Is South Park: The Fractured But Whole finally seeing the light of day? It would appear so. Basically, everything you would expect from a South Park video game. Out October 17. SOUTH PARK: THE FRACTURED BUT WHOLE
