The Spectrum Retreat

The Spectrum Retreat is making its way to Switch in just over a week. It’ll be out via the eShop on September 13, Ripstone announced today.

The Spectrum Retreat is a sci-fi puzzler from Dan Smith, who won the BAFTA Young Game Designers Award in 2016 for his first-person puzzler prototype when he was only 18 years old. Ripstone has since partnered with Smith to evolve the prototype “into a trippy, art deco-inspired sci-fi adventure.”

Hamster has passed along word regarding this week’s NeoGeo title on Switch. Starting on Thursday, Ninja Commando will be sold via the eShop.

Here’s a brief overview:

Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix

Circle Entertainment will be publishing Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix in other regions. A release date hasn’t been confirmed for North America or Europe, though we could have news soon.
