Japanese game company Sunsoft has officially announced Sunsoft is Back! Retro Game Selection for the Nintendo Switch. It will be making its way across to the hybrid system in Japan later this month on 18th April. The good news is an English version is also on the way!

This upcoming release will be comprised of just three Famicom titles – Wings of Madura (1986), 53 Stations of the Tokaido (1986), and Ripple Island (1988).

There’ll be “save and rewind functions” making the games even easier to play, and there’ll also be a Gallery Mode. In addition to this, the package will include original illustrations, proposals, unpublished illustrations, and more. Here’s a bit about each title courtesy of Steam:
