Flyhigh Works held a live broadcast on YouTube announcing multiple Switch games for Japan and also revealing entirely new titles coming to Nintendo's hybrid system in the near future.
New games included mobile clicker sequel Captain StarOne (out this October), 2D action-adventure TRANSIRUBY (a 2019 release from the developer of Fairune and Kamiko), puzzle side-scroller Obakena Fune to Takaramono (scheduled for Fall 2018 - no confirmation on platform) and the shooter, Solstice Chronicles M.I.A. (on target for November). The previously announced role-playing game with lifestyle and crafting elements - Pictonier - will also be made available on the Switch and 3DS in the near future, with a release date not yet announced.
Other games that got some screen time during the presentation included:
- Deemo
- Xeodrifter
- Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2
- SteamWorld Dig
- SteamWorld Heist
- Voez
- Mantis Burn Racing
- SubaraCity

I think the product manager over there used to post in the comment section (or maybe he had a bigger role) here at NL.
a decent number that's for sure but at this point its not surprising since Nintendo was aiming for 30 games a week iirc.
I find Flyhigh and Skipmore to be the very definition of “good enough gaming.” There are often better games in the genres they offer but at the same time you’ll rarely regret your purchase.
@brandonbwii That's an interesting statement because I both agree and disagree. With games like Fairune I'm with ya...I don't regret the purchase but it certainly didn't blow me away. But then with games like Kamiko, I was amazed at how beautiful, engaging and fun such a cheap and relatively short game could be. It set a bar for the quality level of a $5 game that I doubt will be matched anytime soon.
@JHDK Are you thinking of Thomas Whitehead? He used to be the main editor of Nintendo Life.
@JHDK That's exactly the way I feel about Kamiko too. Such a great game. Even though the experience is short, the resulting feeling after ending is very nice. I enjoyed it thoroughly
Will Picontier hurry up and come out!!! It looks great and I’d love to play it~
The interior of the house in Picontier could have come straight out of Mother 3. I enjoyed Fantasy Life on 3DS, so this looks fun.
@JHDK Yes, the most attractive thing about a Skipmore game is it’s price. Kamiko is quite satisfying if a bit repetitive IMHO.
Meh. These games aren't really impressive. Come on Nintendo give us big A+++ titles from you. You brought 2 Zelda games on N64. You brought 3 Super Mario games on the NES. We expect more from you. Ports are great and indie... but we want more from you. Work and release already
Me like some isometric shooters, and Solstice Chronicles will likely end up on my Switch. Transiruby might as well.
@Alucard83 a system that’s not even 2 with over a half dozen Nintendo developed games and people still complain. Zelda 2 will come, odyssey 2 as well. But next is metroid, Yoshi, maybe star fox, and another mario. Zelda will be in like 3 more years. Doom was just announced. We still have dark souls, warframe, bayonetta before I think we get a fallout game. Switch will have an amazing library games by its end. I think I own 57 games since launch. And I’ve slowed down purchasing.
Huge fan of Skipmore since I discovered Fairune and Drancia on mobile many years ago... have been following Picontier development for a while on Twitter, but TRANSIRUBY was an unexpected surprise!
Look... I’ve been waiting for Picontier for what seems like forever. I can’t wait. It keeps looking better and better!
