September marks the start of the holiday season in the Philippines. Christmas songs have started playing all over the country as we speak! Coincidentally, the holidays is also the prime season for game releases.
These are the tentative release dates for Nintendo 3DS and Switch games in North America (also known as US, Asian, or MDE) unless otherwise stated. While the 3DS is region-locked, the Switch isn't so you can play Japanese Switch games on your US Switch console. The eShop usually updates at 12 PM or 3 PM of the same day or at 12 AM of the next day, Philippine Time. Local retailers like DataBlitz and Game One PH/ i.TECH will usually sell physical copies at the date of release, unless unforeseen shipments or delivery problems occur.
