Switch

April is a packed month for the Switch, with a bunch of awesome games releasing for the system. There is a wide selection for everyone to enjoy, but specifically there are a lot of JRPG’s and indie games to keep on your watch list. We’ve narrowed down 10 games that people have been anticipating the most, and added a bonus game at the end that people should keep their eye on.

Check out the full list in the video below and make sure to keep an eye out for these videos every month!

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning

System: Switch
Release date: March 16, 2021
Developer: 38 Studios / Big Huge Games / Kaiko
Publisher: THQ Nordic


Some games are like fine wine and age better with time whether through sheer nostalgia, groundbreaking ideas, or art direction while others are lost in the wind or just manage to barely stay alive through a small but dedicated fanbase. Despite originally being published by EA, Kingdoms of Amalur leans more towards the latter of having that cult following. While there are many reasons for this, the game was well-received at the time, though it wasn’t exactly brought up in conversation when discussing popular western or medieval RPGs. But now thanks to THQ Nordic, Kingdoms of Amalur gets another shot in modern times with a remaster that’s worthy of a second chance, even if it is visually untouched outside of polish – at least on Switch.

The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition

The western version of The House in Fata Morgana on Switch is almost here. According to an eShop listing, it will be out on April 9. Limited Run Games is handling publishing.

Speaking of Limited Run Games, the company is also involved with a physical release planned for a later date. We have more information about that here.

Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection

After announcing the package last month, Koei Tecmo has shared more on Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, a package containing Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. A fresh batch of screenshots are now in.

Here’s the full set:

Project Triangle Strategy

One of the more exciting announcements from last month’s Nintendo Direct was Project Triangle Strategy. The game builds off the success of Octopath Traveler by adopting the same art style, but the format has changed to a tactical RPG.

During Game Live Japan, a Q&A was published with producer Tomoya Asano. Asano was asked about the game’s genre, length, and when more information was shared.

Here’s a full translation from Nintendo Everything:

Katana Zero’s big, free DLC remains in the works two years after the game initially released. Askiisoft provided a status update today to let fans know what’s been happening behind the scenes.

When we heard about the DLC last year, Askiisoft said that it had grown in scope to be three times bigger than originally planned. That has since increased to six times the original planned size. “That’s a bit over half the size of the main game,” Askiisoft said. The studio thinks of the DLC “more like Katana 1.5.”

As for when we’ll be seeing the DLC, there’s still no word on timing. Although there’s still plenty of work to do, the plan is now set and the scope won’t expand any further.

Here’s the full update from Askiisoft:

Demon Turf

Playtonic Friends will publish Fabraz’s 3D platformer Demon Turf, the company announced today. A new release window of Summer 2021 is also now confirmed.

Here’s a whole bunch of information about Demon Turf:
