headland switch

Northplay today announced a final release date for the Switch version of Headland, its colorful action adventure game. It will launch on January 13.

Headland was first announced for Switch in June 2021. It was originally planned for last year, but Northplay missed out on that target by just a bit.

Here’s some information about the title:

Putt Putt Travels Through Time gameplay

We now have gameplay from the new Switch version of Putt Putt Travels Through Time, a classic point-and-click adventure game from 1997. The title was made available on the system yesterday.

Gastova The Witches of Arkana

Previously, Gastova: The Witches of Arkana was successfully funded on Kickstarter, and the project is lined up for Switch. MechWolf Productions was able to raise around $10,000, which was a bit more than the original funding goal.

Gastova: The Witches of Arkana is described as “a light-hearted 2D adventure game” inspired by the likes of Mega Man and Wonder Boy. Players will take on the role of Witch Guardian of Arkana as they go on a journey to track down and defeat the fellow witches that were once Gastova’s classmates and/or closest friends.

Kraken Academy

A new game has popped up on the Switch eShop from publisher Fellow Traveller and developer Happy Broccoli Games titled Kraken Academy. The time travelling adventure title will be released on February 24, 2022.

We have the following overview for Kraken Academy from the game’s eShop listing:

Baby Storm physical

Baby Storm, which was announced for Switch during the most recent Indie World Showcase, has now been confirmed for physical release.

Forever Entertainment has confirmed an “unLimited version” as well as a limited collector’s box. Currently we only have information about the former, which includes the game with a coloring page printed on the back side of the case, numbered certificate, stickers, and sealing foil.

Heaven Dust came to Switch in February 2020, and publisher indienova and developer One Gruel Studio are now following up with a sequel with the aptly named Heaven Dust 2. According to an eShop listing, it’ll drop on January 6, 2022.

Below is a whole bunch of information about the game from its store page:

Zombie Army 4 Dead War

Zombie Army 4: Dead War released in February 2020, but a Switch version didn’t come to fruition at the time. Soon, however, that could be changing.

To close out 2021, a Switch version of Zombie Army 4: Dead War was added to the official PEGI classification database. Ratings aren’t always a surefire thing, but often hint at future plans.

Elden Path of the Forgotten Director's Cut

RPGolf Legends physical

RPGolf Legends has now been confirmed for physical release on Switch – at least in Japan.

When the game is ready to go this month, Kemco will be distributing the title largely as a digital release. A physical version won’t be offered in North America or Europe (at least at launch), though the boxed copy from Japan will suffice.

Like all Switch games, RPGolf Legends is region free and that applies to the physical version as well. Since English is supported, you can play through it just like any other title.
