Last week, NIS America held a lengthy live stream in which nearly an hour of Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk was shown. We have the full recording below.

Atari intends to be present at the Game Developers Conference next week. Announced just recently, Switch will be featured in the company’s lineup.

Aside from RollerCoaster Tycoon, it also sounds like Atari Flashback Classics will be making its way to Switch. Atari’s titles for Nintendo’s console will be distributed by partners from Christmas 2018.

Thus far, two volumes of Atari Flashback Classics have been released on other platforms containing 50 titles each, with another one planned. It’s unclear if Switch will be getting the first edition or all three volumes (or something else entirely such as a bundle). We may learn more when GDC 2018 takes place between March 19 and March 23.
