Select New Releases

Castlevania Dominus Collection ($24.99)

A fantastic surprise! This third Castlevania compilation features the three Nintendo DS titles: Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia. It also includes the notoriously bad arcade game, Haunted Castle, and a vastly improved M2 remake. Exceptional emulation and features make this an incredible value.

Pizza Tower ($19.99)

This Wario Land-inspired platformer is a whirlwind of frantic action. Conquer five massive floors of the Pizza Tower to save your restaurant. Fans of Wario's handheld adventures will adore this, but it's also a solid choice for any platforming enthusiast. A review is pending.

Goat Simulator 3 ($29.99)

Another surprise release! It's Goat Simulator 3 – expect the usual chaotic goat shenanigans. Performance on the Switch is uncertain, as even more powerful systems have experienced some hiccups. Proceed with caution, but the inherent silliness might compensate for any technical issues.

Peglin ($19.99)

A missed opportunity for EA? The absence of PopCap games on Switch is a shame, but Peglin scratches that Peggle itch perfectly. This mobile hit blends Peggle mechanics with turn-based RPG roguelite elements. A review is coming soon.

Doraemon Dorayaki Shop Story ($20.00)

Kairosoft's familiar shop sim formula gets a Doraemon makeover. The popular manga and anime series' characters populate this charming title, with appearances from other works by the original manga artist.

Pico Park 2 ($8.99)

More Pico Park fun! Up to eight players can enjoy local or online multiplayer puzzle-solving. A great choice for fans of the first game, but unlikely to attract newcomers due to its similarity to the original.

Kamitsubaki City Ensemble ($3.99)

An affordable rhythm game featuring Kamitsubaki Studio's music. Simple, but enjoyable at its price point.

SokoPenguin ($4.99)

A classic Sokoban-style puzzler with a penguin twist. One hundred levels of crate-pushing challenges.

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.
