The official website for Voez has been updated with a few more details about the Switch game.

Most significantly, only portable play is supported due to incorporation of the touchscreen. There isn’t support for buttons, and you won’t be able to experience the title on the television as a result.

After purchasing Voez, 116 songs will be available. Ascension(xi) is in as an exclusive song on Switch, and even more exlusive music will be added for free down the road via updates.

One final note: Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, and Korean are all in.

Arc System Works has two games lined up for the Japanese Switch eShop launch. On March 3, the company will release Othello and Frontier Days. Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream provides an early look at both in this month’s issue.

In Othello, you can battle against 16 different levels of CPU opponents. You can also take advantage of wait / undo and hint functions. Of course, two players are supported as well. Othello will cost 500 yen on Switch.

Arc System Works’ other Switch title is New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers. Nintendo Dream doesn’t say much, but confirms that more modes are included compared to the 3DS version and it features HD visuals. A price point is not listed.

New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers should be coming west, and perhaps sooner rather than later. Arc System Works already has a teaser site open here.
