WayForward recently announced that Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is coming to Switch this summer. Even though the news was only just shared a few weeks ago, it looks like we won’t be waiting much longer for the release.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki had established his own studio within Marvelous known as Honey ∞ Parade Games. It’s here where the Switch game Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura is being developed.
In this week’s Famitsu, Takaki reveals that Honey ∞ Parade Games is working on another Switch game alongside Shinobi Refle, which should make use of the system’s unique features. Also, it will be a retail title unlike the upcoming Senran Kagura game.
