The eShop has updated with a new game for Switch. As shown in a new listing on the store, Maria The Witch is coming soon. It should be available on November 9 for $4.99, assuming nothing changes.

In the game, you play as… Maria, who is a witch. You’ll need to navigate through a variety of stages and worlds. Different features are included such as a magnet that attracts items that are far away. We have more details and a trailer below.

What’s really interesting here is that Maria The Witch can be pre-loaded in North America. Pre-loading with third-party, indie releases isn’t something we’ve seen on Nintendo platforms a whole lot, especially on Switch. Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come.
