The Nintendo Switch already has an overabundance of games to choose from, both AAA and indie. But that isn't stopping D3 Publisher from joining the party.

Today, the publishers of the hit Earth Defense Force brand have announced several new downloadable games that will be coming to the Nintendo Switch this year. While some of them are a bit basic in terms of names (Tennis! Billiard!), they'll no doubt bring some extra variety to the system – and they should be fairly affordable to boot.

The games were announced for Japan, but D3 Publisher confirmed they would be translated to English as well, so a U.S. release for these games shouldn't be too far behind. Here are the four games coming our way:

Tennis

A tennis game that can be picked up and played by anyone. Enjoy the game by yourself, or play against family and friends. With 8 characters and 6 courts available, feel the excitement that tennis brings. The game can be played not only with the Pro Controller, but also by swing the Joy-Con or touch the screen.

The Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya

The Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya is a popular romance game for women. At the end, to whom is it that you will be talking of love?

The Men of Yoshiwara: Ohgiya

The Men of Yoshiwara: Ohgiya is a popular romance game in Japan aimed at a female audience. Step into the pleasure district of Yoshiwara with the roles of male and female reversed and enjoy a heart-rending love story.

Escape Trick: 35 Fateful Enigmas

"The Father Who Vanished" & "Waking Up Imprisoned." What connecting truth lies under the mysteries of both stories? Play and find out!

Billiard

A 3D pool billiards game that uses the Joy-Con's brand new capabilities to make it feel like you're holding a real cue. Includes the 3 most popular billiard games and one original game. 9 Ball, 8 Ball, Rotation, and Basic Game for a total of four game modes. Complete with the ability to play head to head on a single Nintendo Switch.

Okay, so maybe not the most revolutionary of titles, but a pool game on the Nintendo Switch sounds like fun right now. And Tennis will tide a few people over until Mario Tennis Aces arrives sometime this spring.
