NIS America confirmed yesterday that it has several patches in the works for Switch. Among what will be addressed on launch day, the company will be fixing some issues with text. Future updates include tackling crashing issues, implementing Japanese voices, and more.

Here’s the full rundown on Ys VIII’s Switch updates: 

Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk

A few minutes of footage has emerged for Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk in portable mode on Switch. View the gameplay below.

Ys VIII will have a day-one update on Switch, NIS America has confirmed. The publisher shared details on this front today in a message to those who reviewed the game.

The patch will address technical issues in which text was not displaying correctly. NISA says it was aware of this, and it will be addressed with the patch. Aside from text, “other issues” will be tackled as well.

The day-one update is one of three planned patches for Ys VIII on Switch.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy

SNK and NIS America still have a couple of characters to announce for SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. But thanks to the game’s PlayStation 4 trophy list, they’ve been revealed early.

The Lost Child

As The Lost Child launches on Switch today, NIS America has a new launch trailer up for the game. We’ve attached it below.

System: Switch
Release date: June 26, 2018
Developer: Falcom
Publisher: NIS America


Nihon Falcom, or just Falcom as they’re more commonly known today, is a Japanese video game developer known for producing some of the earliest JRPGs alongside rival companies previously known as Square and Enix. Although Falcom has a history of developing their many titles for PC, titles will often get ported onto consoles after the fact for a broader audience to experience. For a very long time, Falcom was mainly focusing on the PlayStation family of consoles, but with the incredible success of Switch, Nintendo is getting a port of Falcom’s latest entry in the Ys series – Ys VIII: The Lacrimosa of Dana. Falcom as a company has a lot of history under its belt, but how does Ys VIII live up to its hearty legacy?

A new comparison video has come in for the Switch and PlayStation 4 versions of Ys VIII. See how the two stack up against each other below.

Per NIS America tradition, The Lost Child has received a limited edition alongside its standard release. Get a closer look at its contents in the unboxing video below.
