Select New Releases

Castlevania Dominus Collection ($24.99)

A surprise hit from the Direct, this third Castlevania compilation features the three Nintendo DS titles: Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia. It also includes the infamous arcade game, Haunted Castle, alongside a significantly improved M2 remake. Exceptional emulation and features make this an incredible value.

Pizza Tower ($19.99)

This Wario Land-inspired platformer is another Direct surprise. Conquer five massive floors of the Pizza Tower to save your restaurant. Fans of classic Wario platformers will love this, but even casual platforming enthusiasts should consider it. A review is pending.

Goat Simulator 3 ($29.99)

Yet another surprise release! It's Goat Simulator 3. Expect the same chaotic goat antics. Performance on the Switch is uncertain, so proceed with caution. The inherent silliness might even complement any potential performance issues. Ultimately, it's a question of whether your Switch can handle the mayhem.

Peglin ($19.99)

A missed opportunity by EA? Perhaps. The lack of PopCap games on Switch is a shame, but Peglin scratches that Peggle itch. This mobile hit is just as enjoyable on Switch, blending Peggle mechanics with turn-based RPG roguelite elements. A review is forthcoming.

Doraemon Dorayaki Shop Story ($20.00)

Kairosoft's familiar shop simulation formula gets a Doraemon makeover. The popular manga and anime characters are well-integrated, and you might even spot cameos from the creator's other works. A charming addition to the genre.

Pico Park 2 ($8.99)

More Pico Park for existing fans. Up to eight players can enjoy local or online multiplayer in cooperative puzzle challenges. A solid sequel, but unlikely to attract new players.

Kamitsubaki City Ensemble ($3.99)

A budget-friendly rhythm game featuring Kamitsubaki Studio music. Simple, but enjoyable for the price.

SokoPenguin ($4.99)

A classic Sokoban-style puzzle game with a penguin twist. One hundred levels of crate-pushing fun.

Q2 Humanity ($6.80)

Over three hundred quirky physics-based puzzles. Utilize your character's abilities and drawing mechanics to solve problems. Supports up to four players locally or online.
