While those of us in the west are waiting for the Nindies Showcase presentation on the 28th to learn what eShop games are on the way to the Nintendo Switch, a recent article by Famitsu has confirmed a sizeable amount of games heading to Japan’s eShop on launch day.
Many of them are NeoGeo ports by Hamster, a company known by PS4 owners for its Arcade Archives series of conversions. A surprise title is Blaster Master Zero from Inti Creates, the studio behind the Azure Striker Gunvolt series, which is a follow-up to the classic NES game by Sunsoft that was originally announced for Nintendo 3DS only.
Check out the full list of Japanese eShop games releasing March 3rd below:
- Snipperclips: Cut It Out, Together! (Nintendo)
