Video game releases have expanded across Nintendo platforms. Initial updates focused on classic RPG ports for the Nintendo Switch, including Nippon Ichi Software’s ‘Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess’ and a discounted release of Sega’s ‘Valkyria Chronicles’.

Subsequent releases have transitioned to the Nintendo Switch 2. New titles for the platform include the strategy RPG ‘BRIGANDINE ABYSS’ and the first-person adventure walking simulator ‘NOSTALGIC TRAIN’. While ‘NOSTALGIC TRAIN’ was previously available on the original Switch, save data from that version is not compatible with the Switch 2.
