The Best Upcoming Games of 2019
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
Platform(s): Switch, PS4, Xbox One
Release date: June 21, 2019
Release date: June 21, 2019
Depending on who you ask, Crash Team Racing is the superior kart racer to the genre-defining Mario Kart series. Some might go so far as to say it's the greatest game Crash Bandicoot has ever been in. But even if you're not one of the CTR devout, there's always fun to be had from multiplayer races full of chaotic items, crafty shortcuts, drift-friendly turns, and copious amounts of explosive crates. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled gives this PS1 classic a modern makeover just like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy did, with spiffy new graphics, kart customization, and online multiplayer (in addition to local splitscreen races). It's the perfect party game, and will surely hit older folks' nostalgia centers like a speeding car driven by an orange marsupial.
Judgement
Platform(s): PS4
Release date: June 25, 2019
Sega has a knack for crafting some extremely engrossing, lovably quirky open-world games; for proof, just look at the cult fandom for the beloved Yakuza series. Judgment - also known as Project Judge or Judge Eyes - is a spin-off of Yakuza, set in the same Kamurocho district made famous by that series. But instead of playing as that suave, soft-hearted strongman Kazuma Kiryu, Judgment stars Takayuki Yagami, a private detective who's hellbent on tracking down a serial killer. With familiarly hard-hitting combat mixed with investigative elements, Judgment has already enjoyed a successful launch in Japan, and will hopefully wow Western fans as well (even after some cocaine-based controversy).

The Sinking City
Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release date: June 27, 2019
Nothing says 'Lovecraftian' like a detective story set in a grimy, seaside village where fishpeople are just trying to get by. Horror/noir hybrid The Sinking City is set in a very different vision of the 1920s, starring private investigator Charles Reed as he solves murders and mysteries in the flooded town of Oakmont. You'll interact with mutated NPCs who seem to have lives of their own, face off against hideous monstrosities and cultists, and do some down-and-dirty detective work in the pursuit of the truth, all while trying not to completely lose your mind.

Super Mario Maker 2
Platform(s): Switch
Release date: June 28, 2019
Nintendo is bringing player-created Mario levels to Switch with Super Mario Maker 2, a continuation of the first game's amazing toolset for constructing your very own 2D levels. If you can think it, there's a good chance you can build it - and as we've already seen on Wii U and 3DS, the community is a boundless well of inspiring designs and unexpected challenges. On top of all the existing tools that let you make stages in the many styles of Mario's biggest 2D games, Super Mario Maker 2 adds new course parts, enemies, and features, including custom camera scrolling and the oft-requested ability to create slopes. You can also add in the Super Bell from Super Mario 3D World that turns everyone's favorite plumber into an adorable, wall-scaling cat.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
Platform(s): Switch
Release date: July 19, 2019
In what will surely make many of us feel terribly old, it's been a decade since Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 gave us co-op arcade-style brawling as our favorite Marvel superheroes. And out of nowhere, Nintendo has secured Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 as a Switch exclusive - the perfect fit when you consider the relative ease of getting four Joy-Con controllers for maximum multiplayer fun. Your team of heroes is going up against Thanos and his minions in The Black Order - who you last saw in Avengers: Infinity War - and you'll have to punch, claw, and smash your way through legions of goons to reach them. With vibrant visuals, a host of new heroes (and a few villains?) joining the roster, and the option for local or online co-op, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is looking like the perfect opportunity to team up with pals.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Platform(s): Switch
Release date: July 25, 2019
Isn't it about time that the Fire Emblem series mixed its turn-based tactics with a JRPG take on Harry Potter's Hogwarts? Your male or female protagonist is recruited to be a teacher at the prestigious Officer's Academy, and which of the school's three houses you choose to take under your wing will have huge implications for the story and battles alike. Once you've signed up to be a professor with the Black Eagles, Blue Lions, or Golden Deer, you'll foster your students' academic and combat abilities, eventually becoming a mentor to a would-be ruler. When you're not in class or on the battlefield, you can free-roam the giant Garreg Mach Monstastrey housing the Officer's Academy or chat with a mysterious girl named Sothis who only you can see.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood
Platform(s): Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release date: July 26, 2019
Like father, like daughters - especially when it comes to killing Nazis by the hundreds. The newest game in Bethesda's rebooted Wolfenstein series follows Jess and Soph Blazkowicz, the twin daughters of series hero B.J. who go looking for their dad after he goes missing. There's been a time skip since the events of Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, as the Nazi-slaying action takes place in Paris circa 1980 of this technologically advanced alternate timeline. Given that Wolfenstein Youngblood follows the inseparable Terror Twins (as fearful Nazis have come to nickname them), this will be the first game in the FPS series built around co-op, with support for two players embodying the Blazkowicz girls in their cybernetic Power Suits. But if you opt to play solo, you'll still get an AI partner so you don't have to go it alone as you rampage through the Nazi forces shooting everything that moves.
