As part of this year's Guerrilla Collective showcase, it's been confirmed that the former Xbox console exclusive Echo Generation will be heading to the Nintendo Switch later this month on 19th June 2024.
Dubbed Echo Generation: Midnight Edition, the game features the same stunning visuals and turn-based battles of the original release but enhances the experience with fast travel, a quest log, new camera controls, support for multiple languages, and more.
Taking place within a charming suburban neighbourhood, you take on the role of Dylan and his group of friends who must investigate a series of bizarre occurrences following a mysterious crash. You'll come face-to-face with zombie werewolves, fire-breathing animatronics, and much more in your travels across the voxel-art landscape, with the game aiming to replicate the aesthetics of '80s and '90s coming-of-age stories.
Let's check out the key features:
- Supernatural Adventure – Dive into a supernatural story about small town mysteries, as seen through the eyes of a charming gang of kids
- Choose Your Hero – Select (and name!) your character from a diverse selection of heroes
- Pet Companions – Recruit adorable pet companions with unique skill sets to customize your build
- Active Turn-based Combat – Level up your party by battling monsters and bosses by playing over 30 unique minigames
- Secrets and Quests – Complete quests for the residents in Maple Town to solve mysteries and uncover secrets
- Voxel Art Style – Immerse yourself in the stunning 3D pixel look filled with a retro nostalgic charm
- Original Soundtrack – Listen to the atmospheric blend of electronic and synthwave music

They had me at synthwave.
Definitely my type of game. Added to the WL.
I feel like I remember this game
Not my cup of cabbage unfortunately. But still good news! I hope this a good omen that they may port over HiFi Rush.
Something about this style screams Stranger Things but Lego and that sounds fun to me, so I'm intrigued But I'll read some reviews first and consider the price and stuff and if it does seem very worth it, maybe.
@obijuankanoobie This isn’t a Microsoft game. It was just a timed third party exclusive.
@Limberlost That's funny, because "synthwave" is one of the last words in the article.
When XBOX Exclusive keep losing by ported to other consoles, it keep telling me that I will never consider Series X and beyond because XBOX is literally have no games that made me want to get the machine.
This looks intriguing and possibly entertaining. It's about the best voxel art game I've seen, but... I don't like the voxel style, so it's a pass, unless it's so good it shouldn't be missed.
@CazSonOfCaz Ha, should have said that’s what clinched me.
They lost me at voxel art style.
Love to see more third parties coming to Switch and even more so when they have extra features like this one, will definitely consider getting it at some point!
Art style just makes me want a new 3D Dot Game Heroes tbh. Now that’s a game that would definitely fit well on Switch.
