Lode Runner Legacy was announced for Switch in Japan this week. Fortunately, the game will be released in other territories as well. The game is confirmed for a worldwide launch this spring.

Lode Runner Legacy features the best parts of the original 1983 game with a modern twist. The main goal is to regain stolen gold from the enemies in the Evil Empire’s labyrinth by blasting floors, a technique players can use to strategically capture gold or trap enemies.

We have more details and the previously-posted trailer for Lode Runner Legacy below.

A listing on the North American eShop shows that TealRocks Studio is bringing DragoDino to Switch. It’s currently lined up for April 27.

In DragoDino, you’ll guide “Bob” through ten different levels while you explore, fight enemies, and collect powers. The game includes two difficulty modes, local co-op, unlockable characters, and more.

Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove gives you everything you need to play Shovel Knight on Switch. But Yacht Club also released Specter of Torment separately, which some may have opted for if they played the original game on other platforms like 3DS or Wii U.

If you’re one of these people, you might be interested to hear about a unique discount. A sale is now in place where if you’ve bought Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment previously, you can receive a 40% discount on Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove.

You should see the discount automatically when viewing Treasure Trove on the eShop if you bought Specter of Torment. Also, it’s available automatically for new sales of Specter of Torment. Note that discount percentage may vary slightly based on region.

Homebear Studios has confirmed that its puzzle-adventure game NAIRI: Tower of Shirin is bound for Switch. It’s currently on track to launch this fall.

Aside from being “a cute graphic adventure with adorable visuals,” the game also promises “compelling characters and engaging puzzles”. The premise is that Nairi, a young woman from the rich district of Shirin, is forced to abandon her rich and sheltered life following a certain incident. She finds herself in a seedy lower district of the city ruled by gangs.

Here’s a trailer announcing NAIRI: Tower of Shirin on Switch:
