Spike Chunsoft has revealed that it is brining two new games to the Switch this year.
First up is Q-Games' PixelJunk Monsters 2, a tower defence classic which is also coming to PS4 and Steam. It launches on May 25th in North America and Europe, with a price tag of $14.99 in the former region.
The next title is MAGES' visual novel Steins;Gate Elite. Also coming to PS4 and Steam, this title is expected to launch later this year. It's an updated version of the original which uses footage taken from the animated series, and should serve as an excellent entry point for newcomers.
Let us know how you feel about these announcements by posting something below.

Loved the original PixelJunk Monsters, so looking forward to this version!
Brilliant on both counts. Loved pixel junk monsters and love steins gate
I'm playing Steins;Gate 0 already since i saw the anime for this one but i wouldn't mind checking this out as well.
Still waiting for Fire Pro Wrestling World Switch announcement, but these two were certainly very nice surprises.
El Psy Kongroo!
Really happy that S;G Elite is coming over, even if I also kind of like the beautiful art of the original GN. It'll be interesting seeing the content that never appeared in the anime done up in that style.
Just finished Stein's;Gate for PC... Is the elite version basically just an 'HD' remake?
Definitely getting Steins;Gate. I've seen the anime and read the manga but I've yet to touch the game itself.
Absolutely adored Pixeljunk Monsters, probably going to double dip if the Switch version is months away after the initial release on Steam in May.
Yes! Super happy about Stein's;Gate. I've heard so much good stuff about it. I was considering on watching the anime first, but knowing this is coming to the switch, I'll gladly wait.
@Kalmaro Elite Not really. It completely changes the style of the game to make it more like watching the animated series, complete with a lot of fully animated sequences where there was previously only still images.
@Eric258 Good call. As amazing as the show is, you'll enjoy the game a lot more if you go into it blind.
Steins;Gate is a top tier visual novel. I hope Switch starts getting VNs I haven’t played already, but this is a great start.
And it’s got anime scenes! That’s cool too. The anime rules.
They should hurry up with the localization of the new Attack on titan game on 3DS.It shouldn''t take really long since its sold digitally outside of Japan and translated only in english.Unless its going to get a second version with more content like with the first game.
I was playing PixelJunk Monsters in my PSP just the other day, the sequel will be day 1 for my Switch.
With that an Lumines coming I can see my PSP getting (even more) dusty.
@Shiryu have you ever played wrestling revolution 3D on iOS/Android? It’s made by a dev called mcdickie and it’s one of the best wrestling games made, has so much content and has the most satisfying gameplay. You can also make any wrestler and put in there exact music, you should check it out.
@Shiryu p.s if you want to support a petition for fire pro there is this.....https://www.thepetitionsite.com/en-gb/903/725/444/new-fire-pro-wrestling-world-for-switch/
@Ralizah Cool, glad to know I'm making the right choice. The general sentiment I've been getting is that although the anime is fantastic, there's lots of details that are missed and that some of the side characters lack some development.
@Deathwalka I have never played it but mcdickie is a god-damned living legend. How cool if his games ended up on the Switch... top tier kusoge!
@Deathwalka Didin't know there was one! The producer already stated that he wants to put the game on the Switch but first they are focusing on adding all the NJPW license content and ship it to PS4. The Switch release should follow if all goes smoothly.
Never played Steins;Gate or watched the anime but I'm super excited for that one. Bring all the visual novels to Switch!
Wonder if it will have English dub. The animes dub was really good.
@Eric258 Well, to be clear, all of the content from the original VN is also here, just with changed aesthetics.
Hey, Spike Chunsoft...
How about Danganronpa on Switch?
@Shiryu honestly if you have android or iPhone, download the free trial version. I unlocked it straight away and created all the wrestlers of past and present, with their moves and their entrance music. You can speed up the gameplay also. Anyone who likes wrestling games need to try it as you will be shocked how good and fun it is.
Yeah I also read about the dev wanting too but unfortunately nothing else has been said? So I supported the petition for it, hopefully you are right and it’s coming!
So happy to be getting stein's gate on switch. I just finished watching the anime again on Netflix and now I wanna play it again to do all the alternative endings. Although I might skip one, the bike ride is not something I want to see again
@Deathwalka I'm a strange fellow, I only have a 'dumb' phone. :x
Steins Gate on my wishlist.
Would really like to see Danganronpa some time soon >>
Steins;Gate is a pretty awesome series, I would be very interested in playing one of the visual novels. There is another anime adaptation coming out this year too.
Just checked out the PixelJunk Monsters 2 the art looks beautiful 😱
