Nintendo Switch January 2020 Releases: 'Tokyo Mirage Sessions' Highlights New Year

🎙️ Voice is AI-generated. Inconsistencies may occur.

It's 2020, and that means a whole new year of Nintendo Switch game releases.

January isn't normally known for its huge game releases, but Nintendo is disrupting the traditional post-holiday lull with the current-gen arrival of a beloved Wii U title. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was one of the most-acclaimed Wii U games in that console's last days, but more players will soon be able to play this awesome turn-based action RPG anywhere on the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo, like in December, is also releasing a new Wii U title in January 2020. Regina & Mac is that game, and it's a 3D platformer those who own the older console may want to check out.

Here's the official description of Regina & Mac coming to Wii U:

Join the macaw Regina and the tyrannosaurus Mac on their adventure as they try to escape a lifeless research lab. The only way out? To find the golden Floppy discs on which the memory of the lab's computer system U64 is stored so that it can help the duo to find an exit. Regina & Mac is a 3D platformer that stands in the tradition of the classics from the late 90s and offers a fair challenge even for genre aficionados.

Here's the entire list of January 2020 releases for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Wii U according to the hardware maker's official site.
