I'm for the revival of DS franchises on Switch, just... not by those guys.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/66710/nintendo-downloads-march-28-2024
Things we missed last week: Konami's Surprise Attack was the Archives game, and 505 Games-published survival game Unturned also surprise-dropped.
If it's possible for a quarter to simultaneously go out with a bang and a whisper, this one does. The quantity is certainly there - 40+ in both NA and Europe - but the QUALITY? Not so much. Last month's Partner Showcase has probably the two biggest games of the week in drilling platformer Pepper Grinder (demo available) and South Park: Snow Day, or you can head down to the farm for a kid-friendly version of Farming Simulator. Smaller titles of note: A pair of Hudson titles based on Felix the Cat are being released on Switch by Konami in one package - which depending on your stance on NES and Game Boy games may be a bit on the high side of the price bar - while Annapurna has a new adventure in Open Roads and the oft-delayed colonial sequel to UK-based adventure title Not Tonight is finally landing. There's also a new version of Ufouria under its prior name of Hebereke.
But there's one big, pricey elephant in the room. The entire Touch Detective series - including the previously unlocalized third game - is coming out in a collection this week after hitting in Japan a couple of years ago. Normally I'd recommend it, but for now I have to recommend avoiding it due to its publisher, noted heels Nicalis. If it's any consolation, it might come out under a different publisher or the original devs soon.
