Every Retro Game Coming to Current Generation Platforms in July 2018
As well as Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 & 2 and the three ACA Neo Geo games, a bunch of retro games are coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch.
Firstly, although it’s not really retro considering that the Wii U, 3DS, and Switch are all technically eighth generation systems, I want to give a small mention to Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. This Wii U gem of a puzzle platformer is making its way to the handheld that preceded it (the 3DS) and the home console that succeeded it (the Switch). If you didn’t pick it up for the Wii U, it’s a great game that you should definitely check out on the Switch or 3DS.
In a similar light, while it’s too early to consider it retro, the 3DS game Code of Princess is making the jump from handheld to home console with the Switch release of Code of Princess EX. As well as a graphical overhaul, this beat ’em up remake includes a new local co-op mode.
Last month, Flashback came to the Switch in Europe in the form of Flashback 25th Anniversary Edition. This iconic cinematic platformer will finally be making its way to the US at the tail-end of the month, on July 31. Not only that, but another similarly iconic cinematic platformer, Another World, previously known as Out of This World, will also be heading to the system in July.

- July 5 – ACA Neo Geo Samurai Shodown V
