Another week, another host of games announced for Switch and while we had Civilization VI, Lego Harry Potter and Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD, the delayed Nintendo Direct has likely stopped more from being announced. But even with that delay, there are still many to discover, so here we go.
R-Type Dimensions includes both acclaimed arcade classics initially published by Irem, R-Type and R-Type II. Each title can be played in classic mode with the original 2D graphics and retro music or with hi-res 3D graphics and remastered audio.

The Switch version will also feature in-game achievements.

Taito began to tease Ninja Warriors back in July, but now they have confirmed it is coming as The Ninja Warriors: Once Again, with remastered pixel-art graphic, widescreen support, two new characters and local co-op as well. It will be on hand later this month at Tokyo Game Show, so expect to hear more about this soon.
