Much in the way that Tantalus became associated with Wii U ports back in the day, Panic Button is helping to bring prominent games to Switch. Digital Foundry confirms that the studio is porting two high-profile games to Nintendo’s console. Panic Button is leading the way on both Rocket League and Doom for Switch. Psyonix and Bethesda are very much involved with the two titles respectively, but it sounds like Panic Button is primarily in charge.
During a live stream held on Niconico just a short while ago, Hamster unveiled the next slate of titles destined for Switch.
Five more games are confirmed. Burning Fight, Metal Slug X, The King of Fighters ’95, Robo Army, and Mutation Nation are all coming to the eShop.
Hamster hasn’t set release dates for these games as of yet. However, you can expect them to be rolled out in the weeks ahead.
As mentioned earlier today, Fire Emblem Heroes received new Special Maps to celebrate the upcoming launch of Fire Emblem Warriors. Watch some footage below.

A list has been published showing how many games each major gaming platform has on display at the Tokyo Game Show this year. Switch is included, and it looks like the console has a pretty good showing.
46 different Switch games can be found at TGS. As the system’s first year, that isn’t too shabby. Indie games and other smaller eShop titles are definitely a factor, but those types of projects shouldn’t be ignored.
We’re also able to see that 3DS representation is down heavily from 36 games in 2016 to just 9 this year. Wii U has also gone down from 13 to 3, though that’s hardly surprising.
During today’s live stream for Fire Emblem Warriors, Koei Tecmo debuted a new piece of art. Fans quickly noticed that Anna was included in the promo piece. You would think that she’s confirmed for Fire Emblem Warriors, though nothing has been said officially at this time. More news will be shared for the title at Tokyo Game Show throughout the rest of the week, so perhaps Koei Tecmo will make an official announcement over the next few days.
