The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has revealed that Dragon Star Varnir will be arriving on Switch in Japan this Spring. Originally a Japanese PS4 release in 2018, the game made its way West the following year and subsequently hit Steam as a worldwide release not long after. Check out the overview of the game as rounded up by Gematsu:

The House of Dead, but with high schoolers. Time Crisis, but with teens. However one might try and describe it, there’s no getting around the fact that Gal Gun Returns is a very niche title – in a nutshell, it’s a rail shooter/dating-sim hybrid where you play as a high-school boy who must fend off swarms of desiring anime girls, all while pursuing the love interest of your choice. If that description makes you feel uncomfortable, then this game is decidedly not for you – but for those looking for a lighthearted, promiscuous romp through a Japanese high school, Gal Gun Returns is a competent but unremarkable experience.
Update (2/8): Since our original post, the selection has expanded, and now includes games like Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory. Also keep in mind that since books are a part of the deal, it has items such as the Super Mario Encyclopedia, The Art of Cuphead, Zelda Encyclopedia Deluxe Edition, and more.
