This week’s issue of Famitsu revealed that the rhythm game Cytus Alpha is heading to Switch. A few more details have emerged from the Japanese magazine.

Famitsu states that Cytus Alpha has been completely revamped from the original smartphone version, and it will be easier to play on Switch. It will be possible to continue playing songs without getting a game over in the middle of one.

Additionally, over 200 registered tracks are included in Cytus Alpha. But there are actually over 400 if you included arranged versions. All tracks that have been in Cytus will be in the game, and several entirely new songs will also be appearing.

Iconoclasts is just a week away from joining the Switch eShop. Dangen Entertainment, the game’s Japanese publisher, revealed today that a release is planned for August 2. That news should apply to the west as well, though we’ll let you know if anything changes.

Iconoclasts features expanded difficulty options and a boss rush mode on Switch. This includes “a difficulty that lets you get past harder challenges without dying,” according to developer Joakim Sandberg.

Hamster has announced two more classic games for Switch this week. On the NeoGeo front, we’ll be getting The King of Fighters ’97. The arcade title Omega Fighter will be arriving on the same day.

Here’s a brief introduction to both:

Aside from Switch, RPG Maker MV will be releasing on other platforms like Xbox One. According to Famitsu, the two platforms will be compatible with each other. That means if you create something on Switch for example, users on the Xbox One will be able to access it.
