Two video game events — Indie World Showcase followed by Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase — presented some surprises for Nintendo fans, like announcing the return of MySims and news about a new dating game. Here are some of the titles you can look forward to.

Yakuza Kiwami

A remake of the original 2005 PlayStation 2 title Yakuza is set in Kamurocho and revolves around the story of Kazuma Kiryu. Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega, Kiwami was released on PlayStation 3 and 4 in 2016, on PC in 2019, and on Xbox in 2020. It’s coming to Nintendo Switch.

Set to release on October 24, the story features Yakuza who takes the blame for the murder of his patriarch Sohei Dojima. On returning to Tokyo’s Namurocho district, he finds that things have taken a turn for the worse.

Castlevania’s classic DS trilogy

Nintendo has announced the release of the Castlevania Dominus Collection. The bundle presents the trilogy of Castlevania titles that originally debuted on the Nintendo DS — Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia. As a bonus, the 1987 arcade game Haunted Castle is also included. As an update, there are some extra features.

Firaxis Games said the game will be there everywhere. "In Civilization VII, your strategic decisions shape the unique cultural lineage of your evolving empire," the game description reads.
