The 16-bit shoot ’em up Ghost Blade HD is getting a limited edition physical release on Nintendo Switch.
Eastasiasoft made the announcement today, saying that pre-orders will open on Thursday, September 12 exclusively at online retailer Playasia. The digital version will launch worldwide in October.
