Gamers, it’s your lucky month! Nintendo is releasing a new gaming console along with a multitude of the 2016-2017’s top games to play, a new form of game is hitting consoles and much more! Let’s take a look!
Nintendo Switch (Console) – March 3rd
Nintendo continues their trend of portable gaming, however, this time they are taking it to a new level. Nintendo Switch is designed to go wherever you do, transforming a home console to portable system in a snap. In a sense, it’s taking Nintendo’s Wii and DS systems and combining them into one, so you get more time to play the games you love wherever you go. It comes with a small box that you can dock. Using the controller, games can be played at home or take it apart and take it on the go. The Switch comes with two Joy-Con grips, which act as the controllers. One controller or two, vertical or sideways, motion controls or buttons, Joy‑Con and Nintendo Switch give you total gameplay flexibility to take with you everywhere. The Nintendo Switch will be available on March 3rd, 2017, starting at $299.99 USD.
Just Dance 2017 (Switch) – March 3
Grab your friend and family because the biggest music video game franchise is back. Just Dance 2017 came out in October 2016, but this month, it is coming to the new Nintendo Switch console. The game brings you five game modes, updated content all year, and a free 3-month subscription to Just Dance Unlimited in every box of the game on Nintendo Switch. Just Dance Unlimited gives you access to 200+ songs on top of the original 40. Singles include modern hits, such as Juju on That Beat by Zay Hilfigerrr & Zayvion McCall and Worth it by Fifth Harmony and throwbacks for every generation, such as Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) by Beyonce and September by Earth, Wind & Fire. You can now dance on the go with the Joy-Con controllers, where you can play with up to six players. Your smartphone can act as a tracking device and score your moves via the free “Just Dance Controller” app.

Mass Effect: Andromeda (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – March 21st North America / March 23rd Europe
Mass Effect: Andromeda takes players far beyond the boundaries of the Milky Way, into the depths of the Andromeda galaxy. Fearing the destruction of their home planets, humans and friendly alien races have sent giant 20,000 passenger Ark ships in search of a new home among the stars, and that’s where the game begins: You wake up from a 634-year cryogenic nap as a headstrong young explorer faced with a new frontier. You are not the legendary starship captain bringing peace to the galaxy whom everyone respects. Rather, you play Sara (or Scott) Ryder, a rookie attempting to fill some big shoes. Mass Effect: Andromeda is all about a fresh start for the already expansive Mass Effect sci-fi franchise, to the point that no characters from the original trilogy will appear. With stunning visuals and a new galaxy to discover, BioWare delivers the next generation of space exploration in the Mass Effect universe.
