Nintendo expands into virtual reality with Nintendo Labo VR and Vacation Simulator brings comically clumsy VR holidaying to PC, arcade racer Dangerous Driving hurls itself across console and computer, and The Mystery Of Woolley Mountain needs solving on Switch and PC, while turn-based adventure Pathway channels the spirit of Indiana Jones and Phoenix Wright brings his legal flair and courtroom dramatics to modern machines.

Nintendo Labo VR Kit for Nintendo Switch from April 12

Nintendo's range of self-assembly cardboard controller housings extends into VR with a pair of virtual reality goggles, various accessories, and over 60 mini-games that range from ocean safaris to a VR garage and, a week later, full compatibility with The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild and a special Super Mario Odyssey mode.

Dangerous Driving for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC (Epic, Humble), out now

Drive at breakneck speeds, slam into rivals to crash them and increase your boost, and contend with their wreckage on the next lap. If it sounds a lot like classic arcade racer Burnout, that's because it's made by some of the series' veterans.

Pathway for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux, out April 11

Pick a team of adventurers and attempt to find and secure mysterious treasures scattered across 1930s Northern Africa before the evil Nazis get there first, Indiana Jones style. Five different randomly generated campaigns, 400 possible story events, turn-based squad combat, and a classic 16-bit look.

Vacation Simulator for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality on Windows PC, out now

Silly near-future robot's vision of what it is like to be a human and take time off: play at the beach, sunbathe, go on a hike, make ice sculptures, dress a snowman and more, all in aid of creating real vacation memories.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Windows PC, out now

Tackle injustice in the courtroom and at the crime scene in Phoenix Wright's original escapade plus sequels Justice For All and Trials And Tribulations, originally released on Nintendo 3DS.
