Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games
August is a somewhat slow month for Switch releases, but that’s just an end-of-life-cycle-meets-summer-doldrums combination. The main Nintendo-published release this month is the spooky visual novel Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective club. Also out this month are Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, and Volgarr the Viking II, a sequel to a game whose first level I didn’t have the time/patience to beat. Maybe this one will be less punishingly difficult? One can hope.
