Nintendo Switch Game News and Releases.

Or the Zelda games that are supposedly just sitting on a shelf waiting to be released.

Have the Collector's Edition of X and never played it. Was planning on playing soon so I guess I'll just wait for now.

What's the Gamepad functionality for this and would they have much bother on the Switch version?

Forgot, yeah, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HD. They'll be popped out for Switch 2 launch year(s) I'd say. As there won't be a new 3D Zelda for a long time, unless there's a BOTW 3.

Viper Phase 1 is available from the Arcade Archives series.

I got it on the Japanese eshop for less than 7 euro.

This is awesome for a few reasons

1: It's a spin off of the Raiden Fighters series, itself a spin off of Raiden 1, 2 and Dx, so it's amazing.

2: Having the game running means that Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2 and Raiden Fighters Jet might well be on the way!

The only way to play those games outside of emulation or the original arcade board is buying the Japanese Xbox 360 ports and a Japanese Xbox 360 to play them on!

Shadow Labyrinth – Reveal Trailer

https://youtube.com/watch?v=JmpNsTLhKu0

Shadow Labyrinth is a 2D action platformer and a genre-twisting alternate take on the iconic PAC-MAN.

As Swordsman No. 8, awoken by a floating yellow orb, PUCK, on a mysterious planet amidst relics of wars past, you are chosen to become the instrument of its will. To survive you will discover many secrets, consume your enemies, and grow from prey to the apex predator as you embrace your true purpose.

When I initially heard an alternate take on Pac-Man, I kind of rolled my eyes. 👀 But having watched the trailer, I'm intrigued to see more of it.

NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound – Announcement Trailer – Nintendo Switch

https://youtube.com/watch?v=XdaAuXyBCr0

NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is coming to Nintendo Switch summer 2025.

Our story begins when Ryu Hayabusa journeys to America to honor his father's will. While he is away, the barrier between the human and the demon worlds suddenly shatters, unleashing a terrifying army upon the Hayabusa Village, which now faces an unprecedented threat in Ryu's absence. To stand against this new threat, Kenji Mozu, a young ninja from the Hayabusa Village, rises to the challenge!

It's 2D and being made by The Game Kitchen, the developers of Blasphemous, so that's a good omen.

Looks like they're going to do their whole thing of announcing everything but the thing people are waiting for.

Well, I am looking forward to Xenoblade Chronicles X!

As well as the Switch 2!

Oh I'm not saying people don't want it but it usually seems to be when people are waiting on them to announce something like a direct or the new console, they suddenly become more active with announcements about everything but. Or maybe it just seems that way.

And yeah, I'll likely get it while the Wii U collector's edition is still sitting unplayed on the shelf. Was planning on playing it this month then this was announced.

Well that's just great, wrong thread. 🧵
