These showcase various scenes of character interaction and dialogue between the members of the Survey Corps, as well as the new “Battle Act” system. This is essentially a series of quicktime events that occur when you encounter a Titan – pressing the right buttons within the time limit is necessary in order to escape unharmed, or even defeat the Titan.

Koei Tecmo is bringing Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII with Power-Up Kit to Switch in Japan on March 30. Before that though, another game will be released at the console’s launch. That one is Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence with Power-Up Kit.

For the Switch edition, Koei Tecmo is packing in some original elements, such as new additions to the story. All DLC will also be included on the cartridge. And just like Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII the motion IR camera in the Joy-Con controller is used to create warlords based on things such as the target’s form and feel.

Some screenshots from Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence with Power-Up Kit can be found below.
