Well well, I just took a peek at the website, and there it is, just stealth announced for Switch! It was a possibility when they did the crowdfund awhile back for the Steam release, but it didn't make it to the Switch goal, but as you may know, they've often added the Switch or Steam release (whichever is second) to a project even if that goal failed in their prior crowdfunds, like Triggerheart Excelica.

Hopefully Red Art Games again does a physical release in the west like with Castle of Shikigami 2 and Triggerheart Excelica on Switch.

And hopefully the original Castle of Shikigami can also finally make it to Switch, and we could actually maybe get a really cool trilogy physical pack (all three should EASILY fit a 8/16GB cart). Here's hoping.

Oh! That's exciting news, good eye!

Really would be nice to get Shikigami 1 too.

Totally agree — it’s great to see this finally happening for Switch! The crowdfunding history with AlfaSystem really makes these surprise ports feel like bonuses. A trilogy physical pack would be amazing, especially for collectors. Hopefully they stick with the same localization quality as Shiki 2. Fingers crossed we get that full trilogy treatment someday.

Good, this is my favorite of the trilogy.

I made a joke in the Triggerheart thread that their double-dipping on versions of that game would all be worth it if it helped fund a new console port of Shiki III. I was laughed at, asked if I get out much, told it's already on Steam... oh ho ho ho. Here we are now, and I clutch my two vaguegly distinct copies of Triggerheart with pride, knowing I did my part (insert Starship Trooper gif).

The reasons why I like this out of the three is because I like the artwork compared to the others, plus not only does Kohtaro Kuga look cooler in this game (his look in the third game reminds me of Kyo Kusanagi from The King of Fighters and Takashi Komuro from Highschool of the Dead) but he's also much kinder. And then there's Reika Kirishima.

A trilogy pack would be nice indeed... I'm not seeing any listings on eBay for part III yet, beyond the 360 and Wii versions.
