Switch eShop

Nurse Love Addiction

An unexpected visual novel has been added to the Japanese Switch eShop. Nurse Love Addiction, from Kogado Studio, is now available. It costs 2,400 yen until June 7, and will then go up to 4,800 yen.

Nurse Love Addiction has actually come out on Steam in English. Unfortunately though, the Switch version only supports Japanese – at least right now.

Thanks to the Japanese eShop, next week’s NeoGeo game is confirmed. Hamster will publish Ninja Combat in all regions on May 31.

Ninja Combat is a side-scrolling beat ’em up originally released in 1990. Alpha Denshi handled development while SNK acted as its publisher.

ACA NeoGeo Ninja Combat will cost $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29.

Defoliation

Defoliation was previously on track for Switch this summer. Over on the Japanese eShop, a release date of May 31 is listed. English is supported, so we may very well be seeing a worldwide launch here.

Defoliation is a mystery puzzle game. For those who missed our previous coverage, we have an overview and a trailer below.

Icey

Icey had previously been given a May release window on Switch. With the month almost over, time was quickly running out. However, a new listing on the Japanese eShop confirms a launch date of May 31.
