Switch will also be getting Neo Geo games Last Resort, Sengoku

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments

Nintendo highlighted Hamster’s Arcade Archives series during the latest Nintendo Direct. King of Fighters ’99, Galaxy Fight, and Shock Troopers 2nd Squad were among the confirmed games.

However, two were left out from the Japanese presentation. Last Resort and the first Sengoku should be heading to Switch at some point. It’s unclear why the overseas Nintendo Direct lacked these games, but it’s probably not something we should be too worried about.
