The original set of Tomb Raider games turned heads back in the day, and now, they’re returning to Switch (and several other platforms) in the form of Tomb Raider I–III Remastered Starring Lara Croft. Yes, that’s the real title, thanks for clearing up the starring role!

That emerging trend continues this week with Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy. The…
