City Connection brought a new Penguin Wars game to Switch this week in Japan. It’s a remake of the original title of the 1985 NES game, with overhauled visuals, online play, and more.

Although no announcements have been made regarding an English release, that could be changing at some point. Messages from Dispatch Games on Twitter suggest that something could be on the horizon.

This could just be Dispatch Games having a bit of fun and showing enthusiasm for Penguin Wars. Then again, Dispatch Games does have a connection with City Connection. The two sides worked together to localize Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase for the west, including a physical version. If something is planned, perhaps an announcement will be made in the near future.

Thanks to James McKee for the tip.
