Switch eShop - New Releases
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana (Marvelous (XSEED), 7th Jan) - Originally conceived as a reimagining of the 16-bit console classic Ys III: Wanderers From Ys, this fan-favorite entry returns, newly remastered for the Nintendo Switch™ system as Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana. Nearly 15 years after its previous release, longtime fans can look forward to numerous improvements and upgrades, including an all-new voiceover for legendary protagonist, Adol Christin. With remastered high-definition visuals and music, the epic adventure has never looked or sounded better.
Rivenaar’s Grove (eastasiasoft, Jan 8th) - Rivenaar's Grove is a top-down fantasy adventure spin on sliding puzzles. The quick little apprentice can only move in straight lines from one border of the field to another. It’s up to you to figure out how to use these nimble movements to gather crops as quickly and efficiently as possible. Once each field is cleared, you’ll be able to move to the next, with 50 levels in all! As you progress, new traps, obstacles and portals will be introduced, making it even trickier to harvest. To further prove your worth, you can tackle challenge modes with limited moves and time limits. Can the student truly become the master?

Definitely in for a copy of Ys III Remake.
Wow, no shovelware or prices
Ah wait....

Wow, I've never seen such a small list on one of these.
Nothing for me this week. That said, I do hope that Ys Memories of Celceta port comes stateside. Really enjoyed that game on Vita.
I wish they'd just make a complete YS collection already. At least of the first 7 games. Tired of trying to figure out which system had each game or which ones have translations available. I don't get why they didn't want to release them in America initially.
Oh wow, even fewer games than last week and I've definitely never seen so few in a Nintendo Download before!
Anyway, I've just preordered Ys Memoire physically discounted from my usual retailer here in Italy and that's it for me.
Probably not buying anything else until Donkey Kong Country Returns.
Honestly feeling split on how I want to go about that one. More cost-effective route in the longterm is to get the vouchers, but I don't really want to get Xenoblade X at launch - do want to get it at some point but not in any hurry to - and don't care about Metroid Prime so no real idea of when I'd actually get the chance to use the thing which has me kind of hesitant to spend $100 now when I could spend $60 and just get another set of vouchers when there are games to actually use them on.
The fact this list is so short is refreshing. I'll grab Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana eventually. I'm in no hurry since I played it on Steam last year (Edit: last year being late 2023). Also not paying $60 for the physical since it contains extras I don't need.
getting the y's game as soon as possible before copies run out..
I'm gonna get Ys Memoire at some point but not right now. It's on my wishlist
Cool, best Ys game is arriving to Switch.
Maybe I'll pick up Y's. The Oath in Felghana was my introduction to the series and still is my favorite of the games I've played.
This year, I'd like to play through more of Falcom's library. Already played Dragon Slayer IV and Popful Mail. I'd like to go through Tokyo Xanadu and more Y's games too.

yeah i remember importing oath in felghana years ago before it ever got localized and also got it on psp, is a great action rpg.
also hoping the switch port of memories of celceta makes its way west since i loved that back on vita.
I've already preordered Oath in Felghana. I loved it on Vita and I have some misplaced nostalgia for the original on SNES, even though that version is nightmarish.
Now I just need to beat two games before the 7th when it releases. I'm thinking Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3; never owned them as a kid and never beat them before.
The Japanese physical won't update to include English. Damn, i'm so disgusted by this. If you're gonna release these physically in the west, announce it sooner, I got the Japanese copy thinking it would never come to the west, it's been almost two years for crying out loud.
EDIT: I guess it comes out on the 7th huh, I'll check again on the update front at that time, but won't hold my breath.
Ys The Oath in Felghana is probably the best Ys game and a great starting point for those who want to get into the series or just test the water. As long as you don't take a boat out into said water.
I'd rather buy Ys Felghana in physical.
On the other hand I'll get Ys III Wanderer from Ys in its original PC-88 version from the Egg Console collection.
I am still waiting for Ark of Napishtim and Seven on the Switch (Memories of Celceta was kinda disappointing, especially after playing Dawn of Ys).
Nice to start out the new year with a port of Ys: The Oath in Felghana. Can't wait to see the rest of the other RPGs (Dragon Quest I & II 2D HD, Suikoden 1 & 2, Lunar 1 & 2, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Remake, The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II, Tales of Graces F, Dragon Quest XII, etc.) later down the line this year. 2025 is gonna be a fun year indeed.
I'll get Ys eventually, I started playing Ys VIII on Steam not too long ago, and as my first Ys game, I'm enjoying it lots.
I salute the faithful "(You may select up to 5 answers)" part in the poll.😎7
This was a throwback to the Wii U days. It might even beat it out for smallest list.
Don’t about you guys but Ys is my top switch game for 2025 so far.
