The names CIRCLE Entertainment and Flyhigh Works are likely familiar with eager eShop gamers. The former has been prolific on the 3DS and, between them, the two companies have brought titles like VOEZ and Kamiko to the Switch eShop.
The publishers / developers do a lot of work on the Japanese eShop, including taking Western titles over to that market. Ahead of the Tokyo Game Show - 21st to 24th September - Flyhigh Works has published a video to showcase some of the games it'll show there. Overall it'll have over 30 Switch titles on show, according to CIRCLE Entertainment - the companies will be sharing a booth.
The video is an interesting watch, though, because it has a handful of games that are newly confirmed for Switch or haven't been mentioned a lot recently; some have different publishers in North America / PAL territories. It's worth noting that these are all confirmed for the Japanese market, but they'll be good bets for the West too. There are also a few 3DS titles that we already know all about in the video.
Take a look at the video and list of prominent games below.
Did anything in the video catch your eye?

More support is always a good thing.
Huh, just earlier today I was reading people going over whether Deemo or VOEZ was better. Might have to look for more opinions now lol
Totally forgot that TGS is still coming. Maybe we get some news on those unannounced games that were teased back in July.
Nope.
I didn't found something intetesting.
I want Dance Dance Revolution for Switch instead.
Not going to watch the video because video, but I own Teslagrad, will definitely buy Golf Story and SteamWorld Dig 2, and will probably buy Picontier, which I briefly confused with Plantera and will also likely get once it comes to Switch although that has nothing to do with this article.
No.
Teslagrad on switch. Great game, just a shame the sort of sequel didn't expand upon and refine the original formula.
At the right price I may jump on Teslagrad for Switch. Never did for Wii U and always kinda wanted to. If it launches at $10, I'm all over it!
The Switch is not short of 2D platformers, but Teslagrad and Splasher both look pretty cool. Picontier and Golf Story, however, look adorable. No idea what Opus is, but it reminds me a little of Spaceplan.
Neat, but I don't think "impressive" is the right word to describe a long list of random indie titles making their way over to the Switch.
Teslagrad looked cool when it came out... I just never got around to getting it. Maybe now I will.
Looking forward to the golf rpg. Looks like fun.
Anyone who hasn't already played Teslagrad absolutely should.
All seem interesting. Will look into them more when they release.
Don't care what others think, I'm impressed with this list. Loved steam world dig so I'm all over the second and golf story looks like the ducks nuts.
Golf Story looks really cute and amusing!
"Impressive lineup" is a gross exaggeration.
Im still iffy about steamworld dig 2. The first one was p good just really short but I really am not feeling the art style in 2, imo it just looks meh. However golf story I'm beyond hyped for and I can't wait to play it!!!
Nothing here for me but Steamworld Dig 2. Quite a boring video by the way...
Uuuhhhh just a couple of questions..... who are Circle Entertainment and Flyhigh Works? And therefore why should I care about this announcement?
Pretty nice, but impressive? I wouldn't go that far.
Picontier is pretty much the only thing I'm interested in out of that list. I'm still waiting for more info on this Majin Shoujo Combat X Brave Dungeon for Switch, as well as The Legend of Dark Witch 3 on 3DS.
Opus looks interesting if it gets ported. Golf Story is a must buy for me.
Heck yeah, Deemo!
"OPUS: The Day We Found Earth" seems reasonably well-received on other platforms.
SteamWorld Dig 2!
@Discipledoctor Both are really good. Deemo is much more about the music itself, having very few tracks with any lyrics in it. While VOEZ is more like actual songs instead of being just music. I think VOEZ is much more creative in its gameplay while Deemo is just your standard match the beat type game. I say VOEZ is by far the much better game, although in terms of the music its highly debatable on which games offers the best tracks.
Picoonteer looks amazing!
That's a pretty elaborate lineup reel.
All I know is kamiko is great
Cool. Deemo is a good game.
Nice title for switch
@sketchturner I wholeheartedly agree!
I still can't believe how many people haven't brought up/realized that Kamiko is basically a knock-off Hyper-Light Drifter. It's kind of a really big off-putter for me personally seeing how shamelessly they ripped it off.
Buying all this:
Deemo
Steamworld Dig 2
Picontier
Golf Story
Splasher
Looks like they're also bringing Quest of Dungeons to Switch (which is also available on the Wii U eShop).
My favourites in this video were Picontier, Golf Story, Opus: The Day We Found Earth and SteamWorld Dig 2.
Teslagrad and Severed are obviously pretty good ones as well and I have them on Wii U.
