Since the surprise release of Castlevania Advance Collection I’ve had the question “are we getting a port of the DS titles?” sitting in the back of my mind and surfacing to the forefront every time a Nintendo Direct aired. Of course bringing the DS titles across to the Switch wouldn’t be as simple a task, so it is perhaps understandable that it’s taken three years for Castlevania Dominus Collection to finally make it onto the system. However, now that it’s finally here, the end result is more than worth the wait.
A launch trailer has surfaced for Valfaris: Mecha Therion. The game, which features head-banging shoot ’em up action, released on various consoles like Switch this week.
Further information is attached in the following eShop description:

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom just received its latest trailer showing off the Still World and revealing the Swordfighter Form.
We’ve previously seen rifts in Hyrule, and Zelda will be able to enter those with the help of Tri. In the Still World, various objects and beings swallowed by the rift will appear – and there’s the threat of them vanishing completely. Zelda will need to traverse broken terrain, and players can use echoes to move forward. Dungeons and bosses are also confirmed for the Still World.
