Resi 4 on PC got 2 releases.

I was going to ask why but then I remembered silly me this is Capcom.

Let me see if I'm right with Resi 4. GameCube, PS2, Wii, 360, PS3, PC, Xbox One, PS4 & now Switch. I would also add the mobile ports but they are not a direct replication of the main game.
I have it on GameCube and PS4. It had not aged gracefully when I was playing it on the latter last year.

I'm inevitably buying it again.
I have it on all of those formats barring XB1 and PC.
Crazy thing is I have always felt it glorious and timeless, until I got it for the PS4 recently.
The controls are awful!
And no option to meaningfully change them to something more contemporary.
If there's anything the Switch is good at is offering alternate control methods, so hopefully they'll take this opportunity to stick in something less idiosyncratic!

It got the original port back in 2005, then recently the 'HD' version. Sad to say, I think I have every version bar iOS which doesnt really count.

Something for those troubled by Dark Souls perhaps!

You think trying to control Marshall's unpredictable limbs is any easier than wrestling with the bizarro-world button layout that Dark Souls favours? Or that I can any more keep my humanity from being hollowed than keep Everest from getting Chased?

Sir, you do those pups a disservice

It launched there over a week ago. You'd have thought this would have been in last week's eShop update. Halloween will be over next Thursday, that's if it makes it by then.

Play Halloween Forever when it launches on Nintendo Switch November 1st. Oh dear

Two Tribes have put out a PR about Swap This!

Q: Why did you develop Swap This!?
A: We wanted to make matching games exciting again! When we started development, 7 years ago now, the genre was all about simple repetitive tasks and being rewarded with fancy animations. This is actually still the case… With Swap This! we wanted to create something more skill-based, requiring fast reflexes and tactical thinking. You still start by matching colors, but once you get the hang of it you'll juggle multiple chain reactions in real time while deploying power-ups strategically. It all stems from the fact that you can swap any cube on screen whenever you want, opening up a sea of possibilities.

Q: You call Swap This! ‘arcade-style’, why?
A: We feel it this phrase captures the game’s spirit quite well. You need skill to play, it’s lightning fast, and you even have to beat giant enemy fish! Oh, and it costs only a few quarters…

Q: Swap This! came out 7 years ago, but not really. What happened?
A: It’s a long story that we can’t dive into too deeply. We ended up doing a very small-scale release on mobile, then pulling the game just a few weeks later. Let's say we were not happy with how the game's release was handled, and we felt it didn't get a fair chance.

After that it lingered in the Two Tribes treasure chest for a long time. We even tried to convert the game to a free-to-play model, but failed because the game is about real skill, not about buying your way to victory.

Q: Why bring it to Nintendo Switch now?
A: We’ve toyed before with the idea of releasing an updated version of Swap This!, but now the Switch offers us the perfect opportunity. It has a responsive touch screen, which is the best way to play this game, and a lot of Switch players are looking for skill-based challenges we feel. Additionally, there aren’t many matching games on Switch in the first place, so we felt the time was right!

Q: When, and how much?
A: It comes out on Friday November 2nd for just 1.19 $/€. You can pre-order it in the eShop today!

Q: Can the game be played in TV Mode?
A: Definitely! We made sure to include a gyroscope-based pointer mode, which works surprisingly well. But the best way to play for sure is on the touch screen in Handheld Mode, where the game responds instantly to your input!

Q: What’s going on with all the fish and the ice cubes in this game?
A: We created an original underwater universe for Swap This!, with innocent tiny fish assaulted by violent mega fish as well as ice cubes from alien refrigerators. You swap ice cubes that have encapsulated fish, to break the cubes and set the fish free. Makes sense, right?

Q: Why did you choose the aquatic theme of oceans, beaches and fish, as well as the colorful graphics?
A: We wanted to convey accessibility, as anyone can pick up and play a matching game, but we also wanted to convey freshness. Because Swap This! brings something new and unexpected to the genre.

Q: Can you explain what the 4 game modes are all about?
A: Sure! Minute Match challenges you to get better and score more points within a 2 minute time limit. Wave Mode just keeps on rolling. Fish Fight has you beating giant enemy fish by breaking the ice in time. And Puzzle offers 45 brain-teasing ice-cube conundrums to solve.

Q: Finally: hey Two Tribes, we thought you were done making games?!
A: Well, we announced in 2016 that we wouldn’t develop any new projects after our sci-fi action game RIVE. This is still the case. But we also promised back then that we’d still support our existing games and fans, which is why we’ve been releasing titles from our back catalog on Nintendo Switch: RIVE, Toki Tori 2+, Toki Tori and now Swap This! Each one of these releases is the best version of that respective game, and each one feels quite at home on Switch.

Unfortunately, whenever I hear or see the logo, Wales Interactive, I think, mediocre. The trailer doesn't give much away.

TOKI - Gameplay video ESRB

I find the main character slightly irritating in that all he can use is his mouth(and jump on enemies). He's like a nerfed Donkey Kong.

Games released on by Limited Run Games are available to pre order on their website for a short period of time. They post worldwide can take a few months though for the games to be shipped to you.

I meant PAL versions of the games, with the text in the middle of the spine and the PEGI ratings. Nothing against the American versions, I'm just a collector that gets mildly annoyed by inconsistency.

No PAL versions but even collecting PAL versions there is allot of inconsistency in spine design such as text font. As a collector it makes my collection look better with various regional variants.

Idk, Choice Provisions, the developers behind the Bit.Trip Runner series are making it, so it could be alright. You can definitely see their footprint on the game.
