The Japanese Switch eShop has been updated with a bit of an under-the-radar release. From Silver Star Japan, Ginsei Shogi: Kyoutendo Toufuu Raijin can now be purchased for 1,200 yen (349MB of free space needed).

Ginsei Shogi: Kyoutendo Toufuu Raijin isn’t entirely new to Switch. The shogi board game has appeared on other platforms in the past, including Wii U.

Here’s a trailer for the Switch version in any case:

NIS America is sharing new details about Culdcept Revolt today starting with the game’s characters. The image above introduces Allen and also shows off the Free Bats as well as the Court’s Army.

NIS America also passed along the following information:

The main story takes place in “Quest Mode”, where you play as Allen, a man who wakes up in the city of Celphas with no memory of how he got there. He is discovered and rescued by the rebel group, the Free Bats, as he begins to recall his past and his powers as a Cepter. As you collect cards and search for Allen’s lost memories, the mystery of the city of Celphas slowly begins to reveal itself.

In addition to experiencing the story of Allen and the Free Bats, you will also be able to play optional challenge stages in Quest Mode for over 150 single player stages.

Culdcept Revolt heads to North America on August 29 and Europe on September 1.
