It really isn’t surprising that the newest Mario installment would find itself on a highly anticipated video-games list, as Mario has been dominating the industry for close to 40 years now. Even though it’s a mashup, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is no different, and will serve as a much-needed appetiser while we wait for the main course, Super Mario Odyssey, set to be released in October.
This cheeky Mario game will take on turn-based combat, and will feature 8 playable characters from the Mario franchise including Mario (obviously!), Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi and more.

Sonic is back, and this time he’s taking it back to the good ol’ days of side-scrolling, 16-bit glory. Sonic Mania was announced on the 25th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and according to Wikipedia, was “inspired by the original games released for the Sega Genesis.”
Players can choose to play as 1 of three characters that all have their own special flare. Sonic can perform a move called a “drop dash,” Tails can fly/ swim, and Knuckles can glide/ climb walls.
