The Legend of Dark Witch Renovation

The Nintendo Switch version of The Legend of Dark Witch, billed as a "remake" by INSIDE SYSTEM, is the third Dark Witch entry for the Nintendo Switch and the fourth port of the game. It was released to coincide with the franchise's 5th anniversary, replacing Brave Dungeon 2 which was delayed into 2020.

Unlike the PlayStation Vita and Steam versions of the game, which avoid making significant changes to the 3DS original beyond accommodating for the lack of a second screen, the Switch remake adds several features.

According to director NAN-A, the game was created in roughly five months, with NAN-A asking fans to temper their expectations accordingly. The game was made available in Japan almost immediately after it was announced, with a worldwide release occurring roughly 24 hours later due to timezone differences.

Gameplay Changes

 * The game utilizes the Capacity Meter from The Legend of Dark Witch 2, as opposed to the first game in which normal shots were free and Technical Skills cost Tres.
 * Enemies now drop Hearts on Normal difficulty.
 * Some boss attacks behave differently.
 * Depending on the difficulty level, some or all slots are retained after dying, akin to The Legend of Dark Witch 3.
 * Comet increases in effectiveness.
 * Avoid Runner from Brave Dungeon was added to the game.

The remake also allows the player to forgo the above balance changes and play the game, visuals aside, as it was released in 2014.
