D4 Enterprise has revealed that it is bringing games from its online digital store, EGG project (Interesting Game Gallery), to switch in the future. The retro game distribution service acts as a place to play official emulated re-releases of older Japanese PC, arcade and console games.
News release on PR Times Japan (Thank you Gematsu), the goal is to bring as many titles as possible to the service on Switch. It’s currently unknown if this service will come to the west or not, but we hope it does, because this is pretty big news for retro enthusiasts. D4 Enterprise is currently the sole worldwide distributor of MSX Licensing Corporation.
You may remember the name D4 Enterprise from the Wii days, as they are the company that helped Nintendo put some arcade and MSX and Neo Geo games on the Virtual Console. Metal Slug, Fatal Fury, Art Of Fighting are just some of the titles that the publisher brought to VC, and it also helped with some Wii U and 3DS VC titles.
On the current Windows service for Project EGG you can get MSX, PC-98 and PC-88 games, while D4 Enterprise also has a history of redistributing games from major companies such as Konami, Capcom, Compile, Falcom and man, a lots of more. Maybe we’ll see a classic that titles or Cage on Switch?
You can view all titles on the service at Entertainment Center website. There’s no official date when Project EGG will be available on Switch, or even which games will be arriving, but we really hope to see it on this side of the world.
