Shining Resonance Refrain Launch Edition

When Shining Resonance Refrain was announced for Japan a few months ago, SEGA only intended to put the game on PlayStation 4. Today though, the game has been confirmed for western localization, and it’s coming to new platforms – including Switch.

Shining Resonance is an RPG originally released for the PlayStation 3 in 2014. The series will be returning to the west for the first time in a decade. Shining Resonance Refrain will feature dual audio, all of the original’s DLC, and a new “Refrain Mode”.

According to a listing on the eShop, Little Triangle is making its way to Switch. It’s a 2D platformer with up to four players.

Little Triangle releases in Japan on March 1. The western version should follow soon after. For more information and a trailer, continue on below.

A listing on the eShop shows that Hamster is bringing another classic game to Switch next week. On March 1, Star Force will be available.

Star Force was originally released in 1984 for arcades. It’s a vertically scrolling shooter in which players control the Final Star ship and take down enemies / enemy structures while wracking up points.

Koei Tecmo shared new details and a trailer today for Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings. We have an update on the all-new Ambition Journal as well as additions to the series’ synthesis gameplay.

Here’s the full rundown:

The Urban Trial games, which previously appeared on 3DS, have sold over one million copies worldwide. Today, developer Tate Multimedia announced the next entry in the franchise that will be exclusive to Switch.

Urban Trial Playground is coming to the eShop on April 5. The stunt bike racing title will feature the sunny and colorful beaches of California. You’ll flip, trick, and roll over palm trees and golden sands dunes.

Bayonetta 1 and 2 are the latest big games for Switch with video capture enabled on day one. Thanks to the feature, you can record 30-second gameplay clips.

There are just a couple of exceptions. When the songs “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Moon River” are playing, video capture is disabled. However, if you turn off the background music during these segments, the functionality can be used. There’s likely an issue with copyrights pertaining to these two songs.

By the way, in both Bayonetta 1 and 2, you can practice combos when the game is loading. By pressing the minus button once loading is finished, you can keep going in practice mode.
