Switch eShop

Aces of the Luftwaffe: Squadron recently arrived on the Switch eShop. It didn’t take HandyGames very long to publish a first patch for the game.

Version 1.0.1 is now available. According to HandyGames, it involves “significant performance improvements and fixes small bugs.”

Timberman is on the way to Switch, Forever Entertainment has announced. The old-school arcade-style game will be on Switch in early 2018.

Timberman has players chopping wood and avoiding branches. While the concept may seem simple, it’s apparently difficult to master. The game has four variable environments, many Timbermen to unlock, and leaderboards. The game will support local multiplayer on Switch.


We have a trailer for Timberman below.

A few days ago, OPUS: The Day We Found Earth and MUJO were confirmed for the Japanese Switch eShop next week. It looks like these two games will also be arriving shortly in the west.

Nintendo’s website lists OPUS: The Day We Found Earth and MUJO for November 30. Additionally, this same date is included for the games in listings added to the European Switch eShop. At this point, it’s practically a done deal.

Here’s an English trailer for OPUS:

Some of you may remember Slain, a game we covered on the site a number of times in the past. The game was slated for Wii U. Unfortunately, it was cancelled after Digerati Distribution decided that sales on the system were “just too weak to justify the port”.

Wii U is mostly out of the picture at the point, but Nintendo does have a new console on the market. Digerati Distribution seems to be taking advantage of the opportunity, and Slain: Back From Hell is coming to Switch. A listing on the European eShop reveals the news.

We have the following overview and trailer from the listing:

Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura debuted on the Japanese Switch eShop on Friday. Since then, it has already raced to the top of the charts, and is currently the most downloaded game. It only took a day or so for that to happen. Since Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura is currently Japan-exclusive and we don’t talk about the Japanese eShop charts a whole lot, it’s interesting to point out.

Another Senran Kagura game, Peach Ball, is also coming to Switch. We don’t know too much about this one yet, other than its genre (pinball) and confirmed support for HD Rumble.

Only a handful of Switch games support video capture at the moment. And for older titles, they need to be updated so that players can record footage.

Shovel Knight is one Switch game that will be receiving support for video capture in the future. Yacht Club told one fan on Twitter that it will be added in the next update. We’ll likely be seeing it when King of Cards launches in 2018.

Yacht Club’s tweet is as follows:

Artax Games released a new trailer for Iro Hero, which is in the works for Switch. Get a look at the video below.

Box Hedge Games created a Kickstarter for the Mega Man-inspired Super Mighty Power Man earlier this month. However, the campaign has been cancelled.

Rather than pulling the plug on the Kickstarter due to concerns about funding, Box Hedge Games said in an update that the team has received interest from “several publishers.” The developer is now “currently discussing with them alternatives on how to secure the development and the release of Super Mighty Power Man.” The game should be funded and released at some point.

Here’s the full update from Box Hedge:
