Gem Smashers will be released on Switch next week, according to a listing on the North American Switch eShop. The puzzler has a rather interesting history having appeared on various platforms over the years, starting out with the Game Boy Advance, later the Wii and 3DS, PlayStation platforms, and now Switch.
The eShop listing indicates that Gem Smashers will be out on March 15 for $19.99. We have more details and a trailer below.
Nippon Ichi published a new wave of details and screenshots for The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince today. The latest information covers Wolf abilities as well as some of the systems in the game. We’ve rounded up everything below, courtesy of Gematsu.
Sprite shared some encouraging news about the new Switch version of Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue. Ahead of its release, the company confirmed that the title is already profitable on Nintendo’s console.
As Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue doesn’t launch until the end of this month, we won’t have sales data for several weeks. But what this tells us is that pre-orders are strong enough to provide Sprite with a solid return. Visual novels don’t tend to light the sales charts on fire, but reservations are good enough where Sprite won’t lose money on the port, and should be able to receive a decent amount of revenue in the end.
Steredenn: Binary Stars is coming to the Switch eShop today, and we now have some footage of the title. Check out the gameplay video below.

D3 Publisher has announced Enchanting Mahjong Match to Switch.

A bunch of DLC is dropping for the Japanese version of Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings today, including a new playable character in Lucia Voltaire. Watch the trailer for her below.

Fire Emblem Heroes received a major update today: version 2.3 adds quite a few new modes and other additions, most of which had been announced previously. Let’s go over them one by one.
In addition to Mario Tennis Aces, Rakuten Books also leaked something else: Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, a 3DS game that was announced at last year’s E3 and hasn’t been heard from since, seems to be coming to Nintendo Switch as well, as you can see by the game’s boxart. Rakuten Books listed the game as releasing on June 8th this year. The 3DS version is also supposedly launching on the same day.
We will likely hear something official about this, including a Western release, in today’s Nintendo Direct.
