<p>The above trailer has been released for three previously unannounced games coming to Switch on 25h April. <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/vandals">Vandals</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/type_rider">Type:Rider</a></strong> come from developer Cosmografik while <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/homo_machina">Homo Machina</a></strong> is by Darjeeling.</p>
<p>Coming from first-time Switch publisher ARTE, a cultural organisation that co-produces various artistic interactive works (<strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/bury_me_my_love">Bury Me, My Love</a></strong> being another example), the three separate releases have appeared previously on other platforms. Here’s a description of each game from the official blurb:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Vandals</em></strong> is a turn-based puzzle game that lets players explore street art, create their own artwork, and evade the authorities. Along the way, players will discover the evolution of street art through the works of 40 real-life, iconic street artists, and learn how they have influenced urban culture in the iconic street art cities Paris, New York, Berlin, Tokyo, and Sao Paulo. The Switch version will introduce an exciting new feature, the ability to spray paint using the Joy-Cons.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Type:Rider</em></strong> is an adventure puzzle game that allows players to discover the history and secrets of fonts and characters. Players must guide two dots through the ages of typographic styles and techniques from the rock paintings of prehistoric times to the fonts we use today. <strong><em>Type:Rider</em></strong> takes players through different levels, collecting letters of the alphabet and solving riddles in a captivating musical and visual environment.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Homo Machina</em></strong> invites players to see inside the human body, as viewed through the unique aesthetic lens of the work of Fritz Kahn. Gameplay is straightforward and intuitive, the player instructing the on-screen staff to oversee the human body’s many and varied functions – from eating and breathing to controlling emotions and monitoring the nervous system. The game illustrates, with charismatic artwork and animation, poetic narration and uplifting music, the beauty of Kahn’s enduring imagery.</p>
