Do you remember Little Devil Inside? Neostream funded the action-adventure RPG on Kickstarter way back in May 2015.

When the campaign originally ran, Wii U support was achieved. However, things are quite different these days, and Switch has essentially replaced the older console. A release on Wii U is probably unlikely at this point, but the developer did recently tell Inven Global that they’re interested in a Switch version after the initial PC launch.

Neostream still has a long road ahead as the QA phase for Little Devil Inside is planned for the end of 2018. Perhaps we’ll see it on Switch sometime in 2019? In the meantime, here’s the latest video which was just shared last week:

L.F.O.: Lost Future Omega was announced for Switch earlier this year. Today, Mebius confirmed that it’s slated for December 28 in Japan.

In L.F.O., the music played has its sound synced based on the player’s actions and the changes on screen. Some of the sounds from the previous stage can be chosen to be brought to the next stage. Therefore even reaching the same stage may result in different arrangements based on the routes chosen in the playthrough.

Zerodiv published Gunbird on the Switch eShop this month. But if you look for the game now, you’ll be out of luck. The game has currently been removed.

Signs point to Gunbird having some sort of exploit. We imagine that once it’s fixed, it will return to the eShop. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
