FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time sends players on a journey through 14 different roles or “lives” on a time-bending island adventure.

You only get one… or maybe not

The latest game under the Fantasy Life umbrella, FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time brings a slower-paced RPG experience to the Switch this week. The game sets players onto a tropic isle, where they’ll have to construct their own town, and venture into the past to uncover the mysteries that the island holds.

Along with that, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers will be in for a fighting game classic with Killer Instinct Gold. Originally appearing on the N64, KI Gold features ten combatants, and ups the ante with both Team and Tournament modes. The latter plays out in round-robin style too, with up to eight players taking part.

On top of those, Capcom’s classic action title Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny returns, and another wave of pre-orders are presented as well, which include Hitman: World of Assassination – Signature Edition.
