SEGA Ages kicked off the weekend with a new announcement for Switch owners. Starting this summer, SEGA and M2 will be publishing classic games on the eShop. Sonic the Hedgehog, Phantasy Star, Thunder Force IV, Alex Kidd, and Gain Ground are among the confirmed titles. During a stage show at SEGA Fes, more details about the download initiative were shared.

Travis Strikes Again is quite a bit different from the original No More Heroes games. You’ll be entering the worlds / genres of a few different titles, including action, racing, and puzzle.

It wasn’t too long ago that Mad Gear Games released A Hole New World on Switch. The studio’s next title, Kemono Heroes, is now confirmed for the system as well. Kemono Heroes was on display at Tokyo Sandbox this past weekend and Game*Sparks reports that a Switch version is confirmed.
