Highlight games included coveted ports and remasters of existing titles, upgraded to adapt to the Switch’s unique gameplay experience. Platformer Mark of the Ninja is slated to make its Nintendo debut in the fall. Lumines Remastered, on the other hand, is an HD remake of a classic puzzle game that syncs music and action in its gameplay and now features local multiplayer support.
