Both titles come from indie studio JoyMasher, and were previously released on PC to some critical acclaim. Odallus: The Dark Call in particular nails the look and feel of the first few Castlevania titles, with a sleek 8-bit presentation that could easily be mistaken as one the greats from that era.

Both Odallus: The Dark Call and the more sci-fi inspired Oniken are due to launch for the Nintendo Switch on February 8 - with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions due a few months after that.

Here's some info, and suitably retro trailers for each title.

The old gods have forgotten this land… Odallus is an exploration/action game and loving homage to the 8-bit genre classics. You play as Haggis – a battle-weary warrior who must wield his sword once more to rescue his son from Darkness.

In a post-apocalyptic future controlled by a sinister corporation, ninja mercenary Zaku is the last hope for humanity. Inspired by the demanding gameplay of 8-bit action/platformers, Oniken pits your agility and swordplay against a gauntlet of enemies, traps, and challenging bosses.

JoyMasher's next game shifts things to the 16-bit era, and the Contra/Probotector series with Blazing Chrome. Due for release this year, it's looking fantastic.
