We're back from our 1 month vacation!
2018 has reached its midpoint and this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is right around the corner. June brings more major titles for the Switch and even on the 3DS.
First-party titles for the Switch include Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido and Mario Tennis Aces. Major third-party games such as Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Minecraft- Switch Edition, LEGO - The Incredibles, Happy Birthdays, Tennis World Tour, Flashback, The Lost Child, MUSYNX, and Vegas Party might interest you as well.
On the 3DS side of things, the handheld port of Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido will have a simultaneous release along its Switch counterpart.

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.
