Imagineer has just announced Path of Mystery 2: The Mermaid Legend Murder Case for Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch. The game is due for a Japanese release in September, with a physical Nintendo Switch version, and a game-key card release for Nintendo Switch 2.

As the long title suggests, Path of Mystery 2: The Mermaid Legend Murder Case is a sequel to 2024’s Path of Mystery: A Brush with Death. Earlier this year we finally received a western release of the first title of the series, so we can expect a localization of the newly announced sequel eventually.

Here’s a full description of the new game, translated by Gematsu:

Hashire Hebereke: EX

April 2, 2025: Announced in 2024 with a planned for a 2025 release, Hashire Hebereke: EX is now set for a Spring 2026 launch window. 

Hashire Hebereke: EX is a remake of Hashire Hebereke, a racing game featuring various characters and tracks. The original 1994 game was released on the Super Famicom in Japan only. It was developed by Sunsoft and its remake is being published by Gravity Games Arise. The remake includes new characters, stages, four person online multiplayer, and a new time attack mode.

Namco Legendary Mansions Announced

BeXide has announced Namco Legendary Mountains for the Nintendo Switch, and the Nintendo Switch 2. The title is planned for launch this summer, with an exact release date not yet provided.

Namco Legendary Mountains is similar to titles like 2048 and Suika Game in which you combine icons to create bigger ones. The twist however, is that it takes place in a 3D space and uses elements in theme with Namco’s rich history.

Publisher Nicalis has announced their title Ira for Nintendo Switch 2. The title is planned for a digital launch sometime this summer.

Ira is an action roguelike shoot ’em up with procedurally generated levels. You’ll be playing as a young girl searching through a city for fragments of an artifact that will restore peace.

You can read a full description below, translation courtesy of Gematsu:

In IRA, players assume the role of a young girl named Yeon who bravely battles the forces of Chaos by channeling the power of an ancient god and their apostles. Your overarching task is to locate the scattered pieces of the powerful Ira crystal—rebuilding it is the only way to defeat Chaos and restore peace. You attack by firing arrows from any of 150+ different bows, and you can earn many different kinds of power-ups, with both active and passive effects.

Developed by Korean studio ABShot with Nicalis, IRA is a unique anime-inspired shooter with procedurally generated levels and random weapon drops, ensuring a different experience each time it’s played. A key to the game’s appeal are the hypnotic “bullet hell” patterns of the enemies’ (and bosses’) attacks; their projectiles vary greatly in movement type, frequency, visual appearance, speed, size, effects and destructive power. To survive, you must quickly assess their intricate weblike geometry, seek out the short-lived gaps in between and return fire before the bullets overwhelm you.
