Category:Games released in 2017

The Nintendo Switch is released by Nintendo as the successor to the Wii U, going on to sell more units in 2017 alone than the Wii U did during its whole lifespan in certain countries. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild turns out to be one hot bestseller, being both the swan song of the Wii U and the grand opener of the Switch. Star Wars Battlefront II takes on the heat by relying on the player needing to spend cash to get characters and a high rank, rather than battling and levelling up through the fair(er) way. Yooka-Laylee is marred by controversy and is subsequently met with mixed reviews, while A Hat in Time fares a lot better. NieR: Automata becomes a solid hit, gaining quite a following in the process. A "new" SNES game gets released via the SNES Classic Edition, with Star Fox 2 finally seeing the light of day after 21 years in the dark that is the Unreleased Games void. Microsoft joined the mid-gen console refresh trend by releasing the Xbox One X, promising even more higher quality graphics, full 4K resolution, and faster frame rates.
