We’re not yet sure what this week’s NeoGeo game on Switch will be, but we do already have news about next week’s release. According to a listing on the European eShop, Samurai Shodown IV is scheduled for April 13. It will cost $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29.

Here’s a closer look at the listing:

The next entry in the Arcade Archives NeoGeo series is Metal Slug. It’s out now in Japan, and should be available tomorrow in North America and Europe.

Metal Slug 3 is already up on the Switch eShop as part of the Arcade Archives series. Later this week, the very first Metal Slug game will be showing up as well.

The European eShop is listing Metal Slug for release on Thursday. Hamster has generally been bringing out the same NeoGeo game across all regions each week, so North America and Japan should be getting it as well.

Here’s a closer look at the listing:

And a trailer for the game:

Switch has all sorts of different ways of playing. With Hamster’s Arcade Archives series, it looks like you can actually have a setup in which the screen is displayed vertically. This was discovered with the latest Neo Geo release, Neo Turf Masters, but it applies to the other titles as well.

The screen option admittedly doesn’t have a tremendous amount of use here. In the future though, it’ll be interesting to see if any other Switch games are made with a vertical format in mind.

Hamster has promised regular Neo Geo releases on Switch through its Arcade Archives series. Thus far, the company is holding true to that.

Neo Turf Masters is hitting the European Switch eShop tomorrow, according to a listing on Nintendo UK’s site. Japan should have it on the same day, and possibly North America as well.
