It's been a while since we heard anything about The Legend of Dark Witch 3 on the 3DS eShop, with our attention captured in 2016 when it was confirmed that SEGA 3D Classics dev M2 was involved in the project. The first two games offered run-and-gun action with various abilities to upgrade; we liked the first one more than its sequel. As a franchise it's been popping up on Switch, too, albeit in the form of dungeon crawling and musical spin-offs.
Publisher CIRCLE Entertainment has now been in touch to clarify that the game is close to a full announcement in terms of its release, giving us a logo and a couple of snippets of information. Notably, the publisher is seeking feedback from the public on interest in seeing titles like The Legend of Dark Witch ported over to the Switch eShop.
After a year of development by two developers - M2 and INSIDE System - the game will soon be ready for a full announcement.
The new sequel has evolved from the first two games in the series, and it may be our last batch of 3DS games. Next, we are considering porting The Legend of Dark Witch to Nintendo Switch. What do your readers think?
For those awaiting news on when this third full entry will land on 3DS there shouldn't be much longer to wait. In the meantime, by all means chat away in the comments on whether you'd like to see these games make their way to the Switch.

I'm not port begging, the Switch is a hit. Either port it or don't but don't expect Switch owners to beg... we're passed that phase.
They didn't ask if we wanted the two spin-offs on Switch, so why do they ask if we want the next main game? Shouldn't it be the other way round?
I still need to finish the 1st one. It was a fun little game from what I remember.
I only played the first one. Pull a Gunvolt and rerelease them on Switch before 3 hits, like Bayonetta.
@Rika_Yoshitake Why do you have to beg to give an answer?
Definitely can't wait to DL the third entry onto my 3DS. Been waiting for this one for too long since I loved the first two games in the series (though I also liked Brave Dungeon and Rudymical). The first one was good, the second one was the best, so hopefully the third one won't be a Brawl.
we liked the first one more than its sequel
To each their own. The vast amount of options is what made the second game better than the first.
Edit: I would also like to see the series on Switch, but I'm in no shape to beg to the heavens.
I thought the second game was better with more options and better balance. I'm actually still salty about your review.
Also, we already had a reveal today that promised a third game in a series with a witch as a main character on a Nintendo console. Now we have another?
Yes. Please yes.
Yes please I love these games but I haven't touched my 3ds much since I got the switch.
@Krisi Agreed. I mean, since when was having more options a bad thing?
I have the first two games on 3DS, and I thought they were enjoyable. I've put an ungodly amount of hours in Brave Dungeon, though. On both 3DS and Switch. So uh... bring on this third entry. On Switch too, hopefully!
Oh yeah, had to finally figure out and reset my password to comment on this article, if this is the last 3DS game I buy that's a great way to finish it off.
Nice games, i hope they'll also get ported to the Switch. M2 already has some minor Switch experience, they made the Secret of Mana collection sor Square Enix.
What i really want to see from M2 on the Switch is their M2STG shmup brand that publishes games like Battle Garegga.
I haven't used my 3DS since I bought the Switch. If it doesn't come to Switch I won't be downloading it on 3DS.
I just made an account to comment, I would love for all three Dark Witch games to be on the Switch! I will double dip because I love them and the spinoffs.
