During Twitch’s stream at the Tokyo Game Show, new footage of State of Mind was shown. We’re also able to see the game running on Switch for the first time towards the end. View the full recording below.

Zerodiv brought Strikers 1945 and Gunbarich to Switch last month. The company outlined other arcade ports heading to the console in a blog post today.

The next game we can expect on Switch is the 3D shooter Zero Gunner 2, which will be out sooner rather than later. An entry in the Sengoku series will follow next, then a game from the Gunbird and Strikers 1945 franchises this year as well.

We should also note that Zerodiv has plans that go beyond ports. It sounds like the developer is cooking up something original as well.

SteamWorld Dig 2 has only been out for a few days, so it’s tough to make too much out of the game’s sales thus far. But with that said, it seems Image & Form is very happy with its performance thus far.

Mastiff, publisher of Gurumin 3D, will be bringing out its first Switch game soon. GameStop is listing Party Planet for the console, which will apparently be an exclusive to the retailer.

Party Planet is a mini-game collection with support for up to four players. GameStop provides the following overview:

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.
