Straight up, I want to play as the X-Men in more video games
I didn’t realize until today thatLEGO Marvel Super Heroesisn’t playable on Nintendo Switch yet — but it will be. WB Games and TT Games are rolling out the original game for Switch players onOctober 5, 2021. For reference, itssequelhas been on the system since November 2017, and it’scurrently on sale($7.49 instead of the usual $29.99).
The Nintendo Switch version ofLEGO Marvel Super Heroesincludes the Super Pack and Asgard Pack, which mostly translates to extra characters: Dark Phoenix, Winter Soldier, Symbiote Spider-Man, Hawkeye, Falcon, Beta Ray Bill, Thanos, A-Bomb, Kurse, Sif, Jane Foster, Odin, Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral. There are more Spider-Mobile races, too.

I’m not sure what the consensus is here in the longwindedLEGOgame power rankings, but I like the firstLEGOMarvel Super Heroesquite a bit. These wide-ranging comic-book characters are an undeniably good fit for this style of light action game, to the point where I didn’t mind grinding out hundreds of Gold Bricks and reaching 100% completion. (At the time, anyway.) I liked it enough to stick with it, which I can’t say for everyLEGOgame.
That said, I’d expect this to feel dated. It’s originally a 2013 game, after all. Pricing and performance haven’t been discussed yet, and those are going to be big factors. If it falls short in either way, well, that’s what eShop sales are for, and this is a prime candidate.
The Nintendo Switch being what it is (a console that’s reaching all sorts of audiences, including lots of families), you’d think they’d want to get allLEGOgames ported over.LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagastill needs more time, so this very late port makes sense.
