The original Valkyria Chronicles heads to Nintendo Switch eShop on October 16

Sega has announced at its PAX West panel that the original Valkyria Chronicles is heading to Nintendo Switch eShop on October 16. The port was announced for Japan earlier this year, which is releasing in that region on September 27. This release includes all the DLC from the PS3 version of the game.

Of course, the localized release of Valkyria Chronicles 4 launches for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC shortly beforehand on September 25. Those who own VC4 digitally on Switch can get 25% off the regular $19.99 purchase price of the original Valkyria Chronicles. This promotion will run from the game's launch on October 16, 2018 to December 17, 2018.
