Switch 2 Edition Release: Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and Sayonara Wild Hearts Arrive April 23

Simogo's Switch 2 editions of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and Sayonara Wild Hearts are listed on Nintendo's Japanese eShop with a release date of April 23.

The listings follow developer announcements made during Simogo's 15th anniversary last year, when the studio confirmed Switch 2 editions alongside the Simogo Legacy Collection and a Lost in Cult book.

According to the Japanese storefront entries, both titles include substantial performance upgrades for Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.

The listings specify handheld performance at 1080p and 120fps, with docked options of 1440p at 120fps or 4K at 60fps.

The Sayonara Wild Hearts Switch 2 Edition entry also notes an additional Remix Arcade mode focused on score-based play.

Pricing and upgrade path

The Japanese eShop shows discounted prices for launch: Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is listed at 1,625 yen (reflecting a 50% discount), while Sayonara Wild Hearts is shown at 700 yen with a similar reduction.

Both listings also reference a 100 yen upgrade path for owners of the original Switch editions, enabling an economical upgrade on Japan's storefront.

Availability and storefront notes

At the time of the storefront discovery, neither listing had appeared on Western eShops.

The pages were first flagged by Nintendo Everything on the Japanese eShop.

Nintendo Life previously reviewed both games on the original Switch: Lorelei and the Laser Eyes received an 8/10 and was praised for its distinctive visuals and substantive gameplay, while Sayonara Wild Hearts earned a 9/10 and was described as a creative masterpiece.

Developer context and legacy

Simogo has a track record of critically acclaimed, stylistically bold releases, and these Switch 2 editions extend the studio's catalog to Nintendo's next-generation handheld-docked hardware.

The performance targets listed for the Switch 2 editions reflect native upgrades intended to leverage the platform's increased capabilities.

What to watch

The April 23 listings on Japan's eShop provide confirmed technical and pricing details for the Switch 2 editions.

Western storefront updates and regional pricing remain dependent on Nintendo's rollout schedule; readers should consult their local eShop for official availability in their territory.
