It’s an indie invasion today with five new games on the Switch eShop

Today might be Lead News Editor Elisha’s birthday, but it also marks the release of five titles on the Switch’s eShop. While previously released for other consoles, Double Dragon IV and The Bridge make their Switch debut today, with Physical Contact: 2048 making an exclusive release for the console and Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition and Neurovoider adding some more content in their updated forms.

The eShop descriptions for all five games are below:

(The Bridge)
The Bridge is a logic puzzle game that forces you to reevaluate your preconceptions of physics and perspective. It is Isaac Newton meets M. C. Escher. Manipulate gravity to redefine the ceiling as the floor while venturing through impossible architectures. Explore increasingly difficult worlds, each uniquely detailed and designed to leave you with a pronounced sense of intellectual accomplishment. The Bridge exemplifies games as an art form, with beautifully hand-drawn art in the style of a black-and-white lithograph.

(Physical Contact: 2048)
Physical contact: 2048 is a casual but head-minded game that aims at higher values by coalescing the same blocks in the region.
For better grades, polite operation is necessary.
It is a game series where two people can play against each other.
Any two partners, including parents, friends and lovers are suitable.
Because it is simple and has rules that everyone knows, you can enjoy the game immediately.
If you use the handicap function, you can level the playing field.
Because the match times are short, you can play anytime and anywhere whenever you feel like it.
Of course there is also a single-player mode.
Please enjoy it together!
