Video: 16 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In August 2024

I'll get World of Goo 2 on a sale.
Interested in Castaway. Hoping it reviews well.

Just Emio for me, and I'm keen on Thank Goodness You're Here if a physical release surfaces (and/or a DRM-free PC version).

Shadow of the Ninja Reborn, Cat Quest III, and Steamworld Heist II. Good times 😁 I'd give Mika and the Witch's Mountain a shot if there's a demo.

Cat Quest 3 is one of my choice.
But, i will get the PS5 version first, then the Switch version after that.

Definitely getting Emio, still trying to decide if I want to get Tomba now or wait.

Already preordered SteamWorld Heist II (digital) and Emio (physical). Heist was one of my favorite games on 3DS and still my favorite SteamWorld game. I hope the sequel is just as good if not better.

Looking forward to Shadow of the Ninja. Tengo Project do fantastic work with their remakes.

SteamWorld Heist 2 takes priority for me this month but I'll also be getting Volgarr the Viking 2, Vividlope, Castaway and Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn
I'm gonna skip Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club for now as I haven't played the first two games yet and from what I've heard Tomba! Special Edition has a few issues that need to be patched so that's a pass for now as well

Cat Quest 3 and Natsu-Mon for me, I was interested in Tales from Toyotoki but after watching some gameplay I've decided against it, the game uses real world still images for its backgrounds which I think is super lazy for a visual novel.

Some other games il be getting this month are Reincarnated as a Slime, Elrentaros and Visions of Mana.

Castaway is such a waste of talent to create something so derivative.

Emio! Never imagined they’d produce an all-new entry 35 years after the first two titles. And physical 🥹

I'm definitely interested in Emio! Besides that, I've never heard of Tales from Toyotoki before but it looks cute, and Aksys is putting out a physical edition.

kinda hard to believe emio is coming so soon!

TOMBIIIIII!!! I didn't know it was already out! I've been waiting to replay that game for ages, what a fantastic and unique experience! I hope you guys make a review of it.

Also interested in a bunch of good-looking indie games (that I would get on a sale), and that Emio sounds interesting as well. Let's see.

Huh, there's more coming out in August than I thought! Of this list, I plan to play Cat Quest III and maybe Shadow of the Ninja with a friend.

Other August releases on my list are both otomes/VNs: Hanaemu Kare to & Bloom (importing the JP version with English subs) and Hakuoki (have already played and 100%'d it on Steam, but I'm interested in the localization changes and seeing how it looks on the Switch OLED).

Playing World of Goo on the toilet and calling it World of Poo

Gundam Breaker is my most anticipated game this month. Cast Away is a maybe.

Im honestly waiting for Into the Pit (FNAF). But thats just me.

Surprised Crypt Custodian didn't make the list with the prerelease buzz it's gotten. Phantom Spark is also on my radar, but we haven't seen any Switch footage yet, and 30fps would be a dealbreaker for a fast-paced racing game focused around time trials

Thinking Volgarr the viking 2 for me, the first one is pretty fun, not playing the hard route.

Planning on getting Emio since I recently played and enjoyed the other two FDC games. And then there’s the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection just a week after that…not to mention Mario & Luigi in November…

This year really is stacked for Switch.

World of Goo 2, Cat Quest III & Steamworld Heist II are insta-downloads. I need reviews for a fair few of the others. But I suspect I'll be downloading a few more of those at some point after they are released.

Is there a physical version of heist 2?

Castaway looks fun, but at the same time, it is a blatant rip-off of Link's Awakening. It makes you wonder why people can't create something unique of their own. I'll keep an eye on it for the roguelike part. Who knows?

Other than that I don't think there's any release I'm really looking forward to this month. I'm not sold on the Famicom Detective games, yet.
