Ace Combat 7, Princess Maker 2, Popful Mail, Parasol Stars, Bleach: Brave Souls, Muv-Luv, and Ogre Tale hit the Switch

There’s a distinct theme to this week’s assortment of new Switch releases – the vast majority originate from Japan.

Grounded, Sticky Business, Stitch, Planet of Lana, ArcRunner, Ikki Unite, and Hydlide II hit the Switch

Today’s Nintendo Indie World Showcase saw two unannounced titles casually slide onto the eShop. The pun-tastic Sticky Business involves running a sticker store, designing new items to sell and listening to customers’ stories. That’s joined by Stitch, a puzzler not dissimilar to Picross in principle, only based on embroidery. An image will eventually be revealed …
