Momentum for the Switch library continues in the month of July!
Octopath Traveler takes this month's spotlight although it is still unclear if our local retailers will be able to procure Wayfarer's Edition copies of the game. Code of Princess EX and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker make a comeback while the physical version of Mega Man X Legacy Collection contains a download code for the 2nd one. Finally, Shining Resonance Refrain and Titan Quest might scratch that action jRPG itch! Interesting indie titles such as the Mega Man X-inspired roguelike 20XX, Runbow, and Pato Box make an appearance.
Similar to last month, the 3ds port of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker will have a simultaneous release along its Switch counterpart.
Note: 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. Japanese Nintendo Switch games will also be included in the list under a separate table. The local retail prices mentioned below are just approximate values based on the US SRP and the current exchange rate at the time of writing. 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 (indicated by -) indicate that they are eShop-exclusive digital titles.

Japanese Switch eShop
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.
