Alwa’s Awakening Will Magic Its Way Onto Nintendo Switch This Summer

Indie developer Elden Pixels has confirmed Alwa's Awakening, the 8-bit-style platformer that combines NES-era looks with modern mechanics, will be heading to Nintendo Switch in time for the summer. Originally unveiled in 2015, the throwback was initially slated for Wii U before the arrival of Ninty's new hybrid hardware shifted the studio's focus to a new platform (as well as releasing its soundtrack on a NES cartridge).
You'll be able to explore a large interconnected map in true ‘Metroidvania’ style, with plenty of upgrades to unlock and items/abilities to find. With an optional Assist mode (offering quick respawns and the option to turn item locations on and off) and a completely new 8-bit soundtrack with over 25 new original tracks to listen to while you're at it, this new and improved version sounds like a moreish mixture of new and old.
