12 Most Anticipated Nintendo Switch Games - Ranked

7. Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle

Essentially 'XCOM in the Mario universe', nobody expected the surprise twin-developed game between Ubisoft and Nintendo to be a turn-based strategy.

That said, it's precisely why the idea works so well. The genre itself centres on ensuring all your characters are positioned perfectly, trading fire with enemies, slowly encroaching on their position, or attempting to force them out into the open where you can get a better shot.

Being the genre is rarely seen in the spotlight - XCOM is about the biggest console strategy title around - it's great to see Mario in a genre he's yet to touch.

Hopefully all of this means more gamers will discover a love for all things turn-based once again.
