We're just 2 months behind this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3 Expo) so April's lineup may look slightly modest.
Things slow down specially for the 3DS as the only handheld title for April is the indie game Alter World.
Major games for the Switch include Penny Punching Princess, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy (eShop-exclusive), Gal*Gun 2, and South Park: The Fractured But Whole. A number of indie game releases are also distributed all through out the month, one of which is the randomly-generated action RPG Death Road to Canada.
The information below are the tentative release dates for Nintendo 3DS and Switch games in North America (also known as US, Asian, or MDE) unless otherwise stated. The local retail prices mentioned below are just approximate values based on the US SRP. Tax, shipping, and other fees are not taken into consideration. Final price will only be revealed by the retailers on the actual local release date itself. Games with no retail prices may indicate that they are eShop-exclusive digital titles.

Nintendo Switch
While the 3DS is region-locked, the Switch is not 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.
