Nicalis officially announces that Touch Detective 3 + The Complete Case Files will be released for Nintendo Switch today. The collection will launch simultaneously as both a digital download and a physical game card.
A collection of charming and eccentric adventure games that originated on the Nintendo DS platform, the Touch Detective series follows the adventures of Mackenzie, a rookie detective who attempts to solve local mysteries with the help of Funghi (her mushroom assistant). Touch Detective 3 + The Complete Case Files includes all three mainline Touch Detective games, marking the first time that Touch Detective 3 will be localized and officially released in English.
Nicalis also worked closely with Success and Beeworks (the game’s Japanese publisher and developer) to update the localizations of Touch Detective and Touch Detective 2½, restoring some small details from the original Japanese text that were lost when the games were originally released in English-speaking territories on Nintendo DS. In some cases, these changes actually introduce subtle clues that are intended to aid in Mackenzie’s investigations.
Also, since the original releases used a second screen to display Mackenzie’s thoughts, these brief asides now appear as interludes superimposed over the main gameplay. This makes it easier to follow the story and ensures that players won’t miss any of her often humorous inner monologue.

Contra: Operation Galuga Available Now
Running and gunning for Switch
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) The legendary soldiers have returned! KONAMI and WayForward today announced that Contra: Operation Galuga, the new entry in the groundbreaking Contra franchise, is now available digitally on Nintendo Switch. The action-packed co-op run-‘n’-gun extravaganza is priced at $39.99 (less a 10% discount for early adopters) and rated T by the ESRB.
A reloaded, reimagined, reborn update to the revolutionary Contra NES/arcade game from the 1980s, Contra: Operation Galuga redeploys players to the Galuga Archipelago, where they’ll take control of elite Contra commandos Bill Rizer and Lance Bean (as well as other warriors) to battle the otherworldly Red Falcon terrorist group. Using an assortment of iconic weapons such as the Spread Shot, Laser Beam, and Homing Missiles, players will run, jump, and shoot their way through burning jungles, frigid mountains, a grotesque alien lair, and more. Character-specific abilities, devastating Overload powers, and unyielding bosses keep the action intense across Story Mode (1-2 players), Arcade Mode (1-4 players), and Challenge Mode (1 player), while variable difficulty settings and perks provide options for gamers of all skill levels.
The timeless gameplay is reinvigorated for the modern era through detailed, effects-laden graphics, a spectacular voice cast (including Steve Blum as Bill Rizer, Alejandro Saab as Lance Bean, Angelita Esperanza as Ariana, and Kira Buckland as Lucia), and an explosive musical score. Beyond the main soundtrack by Yuko Komiyama and Norihiko Hibino, players can unlock several alternative soundtracks, including a “Retro Remix” of classic Contra tunes featuring RichaadEB, Alex Moukala, Jemy Hiiragi, Banjo Guy Ollie, Eirik Suhrke, and BraveWave Productions artists including Evanescence’s Tim McCord. Both the original soundtrack and the Retro Remix are available for download and streaming on digital music services.
In addition to the digital versions of Contra: Operation Galuga, physical preorders for Nintendo Switch are currently available from LimitedRunGames.com and will be offered until April 14, 2024. These include the standard edition (game with manual) for $39.99, the classic edition (game, manual, retro-inspired box with metallic ink, retro-style dust jacket, 12” x 16” double-sided poster featuring artwork by Peach Momoko, and main game soundtrack CD) for $69.99, and the collector’s edition (all classic edition contents plus Bill and Lance action figures, Bill and Lance dog tags, expanded soundtrack with additional discs, Earth Marine Corps patch, Red Falcon pin, art book, and sticker sheet) for $174.99. Other merchandise, such as a t-shirt, a keychain, and a poster, is available as well.

RUMOR: Good-Feel is the developer behind Princess Peach: Showtime!
We've got a Good-Feeling about this
Earlier in the week, a rumor started floating around about a Princess Peach: Showtime! demo getting released. We now know those rumors to be true, as Nintendo dropped that very demo just a few hours ago. While many set out to snag the demo and give it a playthrough, others decided to download the free trial to dig around behind the scenes.
Dataminers have been sifting through the Princess Peach: Showtime! demo code to see what interesting details can be gleaned, and it seems they’ve stumbled on a rather juicy tidbit. Apparently, it seems that Nintendo has once again teamed with developer Good-Feel in order to get the job done.
While the demo’s data doesn’t specifically mention Good-Feel, it does give a codename to the project. That codename happens to be PJ037, which falls in line with previous Good-Feel titles. For example, Yoshi’s Crafted World had the codename PJ033, and Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn was listed as PJ040. Both of those titles, as you most likely know, were created by Good-Feel as well.
Not surprisingly, Nintendo wasn’t willing to confirm or deny these rumors, as a company spokesperson told Eurogamer that the game’s “development team will be credited in the game’s credits,” meaning you’ll have to wait to play the game to find out for sure.
