ONI Game Boy and Super Famicom Titles Coming to Switch in Japan

D3 Publisher announced that it will be releasing the first seven titles in the ONI series on Nintendo Switch in Japan. The games, originally released for Game Boy and Super Famicom in Japan, will be released on the console on January 28, 2027. They will be available digitally individually; in two standard edition physical packs, one contains the five Game Boy titles and the other contains the two Super Famicom titles; and in a limited edition pack containing all seven games, their soundtracks, and a novel by scenario writer Takiya Iijima. The Switch versions will feature the original graphics with quality-of-life features such as quick save/load and rewind added.

The ONI series was originally published by Banpresto, which since merged into Bandai Namco.
