Orbitals: The Anime Co-Op Star We Can't Wait to Play

One of the biggest surprises came right at the start of the Direct in Orbitals, a Switch 2 exclusive co-op puzzle adventure that has an awesome '80s/'90s anime vibe. Team up as quirky duo Maki and Omura and use different launchers and beam weapons to explore the environment and solve puzzles. This one really looks like something special, especially if you have a co-op buddy already in mind. If you don't watch anything else, make sure you check out the trailer for Orbitals, embedded above.

This wasn't a long Direct but it shed light on a packed Switch 2 launch lineup for the first half of the year, and we don't even know what else may be coming from Nintendo itself!
