If you’re wishing Stray was on Switch this week, then you probably aren’t alone. There is something similar out now on the eShop, though – Endling – Extinction is Forever puts you in control of a fox. Not any fox, but the last fox on earth. It’s an emotional tale that’s going down well with critics, currently boasting an 81% Metacritic score.
“Herobeat Studios has done a great job conveying an environmentally conscious story through the eyes of the lives affected most, and seriously delivers a brutally honest view of how humankind is harming the environment and natural ecosystem,” said Nintendo World Report.
The Switch sees quite a few noteworthy new releases, as it goes.
From Square-Enix comes a remake of Live A Live, the cult JRPG entailing seven stories from seven different time periods – which can be tackled in any order. This marks the first time it has been released in the west, with the 1994 SNES original being Japan-only.

Announced just a few weeks ago, Bright Memory: Infinite has gained a surprise Switch conversion. It’s a stylish first-person shooter with a sideline of psychic abilities and an enemy assortment including armed forces and mythical monsters. Conesus is that while short, flinging enemies around and slashing them into chunks is quite fun. This Switch version apparently suffers from glitches, however. We’ve reviewed the Xbox Series X version, if you’re curious.
“For a game made by just one person, it has a really solid foundation and some impressive production values despite the glitches. However, it desperately needs further iteration to be worthy of recommendation for anyone outside of a select few,” said Nintendo Life.

Then there’s Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium, reviews of which went live over a week ago. This deep dive into Capcom’s archives is apparently an impressive package, with games including Street Fighter Alpha 3, Saturday Night Slam Masters, Vampire Savior, Knights of the Round, and a handful of other Street Fighter games. The two little-known Mega Man arcade games also feature. The Metacritic is 81% presently, with most reviews clocking in at 8/10.
Coromon also comes to Switch, and as the name suggests, it’s a monster-taming game similar to Pokémon. The PC version managed to garner a few 8/10s – “Coromon isn’t without its issues, but fans of catching adorable monsters will love it,” was God is a Geek’s verdict.
River City Saga: Three Kingdoms mixes beat’em up action with tactical play, sending the cast of the River City series back in time to re-tell Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Developer Aplus has familiarity with the series, having worked on River City: Rival Showdown.

After a false start, futuristic racer Redout 2 should finally be with us, too. It might be an idea to wait for reviews – there’s no word yet on how it performs on Switch.
Crass 3D platformer Hell Pie, meanwhile, was hit with a last-minute delay.
Flying under the radar somewhat, there’s the heartfelt third-person adventure Hazel Sky, which PC Invasion rather liked, and a re-release of the PS2 hack ‘n slash RPG Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II.
There’s some specular shovel-ware too – Motorcycle Driving Simulator-Dirt & Parking 2022 Racing Games Ultimate 4×4 City Offroad Kart, is not only more than a mouthful but likely downright terrible. Less of this guff, please.
