Yeah but I dunno if you're specifically looking for exclusives, because there's stuff like Bloodstained, Celeste, Axiom Verge, Binding of Isaac and stuff but none of that is exclusive.

I kind of am looking for exlcusives but I haven't really been playing video games for years now so, for instance, I've only even heard of Binding of Isaac from that list (which I have on steam) which probably means they don't need to be exclusive (I'd rather not see anything I could get on PC though)

Golf Story is a retro JRPG that should be right up your alley too and I think that one is exclusive

Looks great, but I heard it's pretty effing difficult to the point in you have to plan out every battle right, or you WILL die.

The demo of Octopath wasn't this way, but speaking of JRPG exclusives that do require strong planning, Shin Megami Tensei V is in development.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

It's going to be getting a lot of JRPGs. We have SMT5 and TWEWY announced, Square Enix just announced that they're dedicating a division to making Switch titles, Disgaea games are being put on it. It's a Nintendo handheld, and Nintendo handhelds are always JRPG machines

I've been hype about this game and this is the first I've heard such a thing.

Romancing Saga 2 then. It's an actual retro RPG

Kemco is starting to port their games to switch so there is that.

There are some hints about Bravely Default Switch

The dev of Cosmic Star Heroine also says he wants a switch version.

It was about FF4 DS difficult IMO. Not hard but some things will still catch you off guard.

I haven't played that, but I suppose Octopath Traveler is a bit harder than the average modern JRPG where spamming attack gets you through many random encounters. The combat is fun.

...if they gave it just seriously upscaled and modern graphics it'd be absolutely amazing omg.

I'd be disappointed to have to grind up jobs again and not be able to do an NG+ but still much yes please.
