Magical Girl no Majo Saiban is out on Nintendo Switch, released July 9, 2026, with new illustrations and new debate cut-in animations. The game remains in circulation on Steam and appeared in the 2026 Steam Anime Game Festival.
Magical Girl no Majo Saiban began as a Steam release from developer Re:AER and the creative brand Acacia. The game follows Emma, who wakes up in a cage on the morning of her first day of high school and becomes caught in a witch trial where 13 trapped girls vote to execute one of their number. The Steam version launched in July 2025.
The Switch version arrived on July 9, 2026, priced at 3,500 yen for the download edition and 4,400 yen for the physical edition. It adds illustrations drawn for the platform and new cut-in animations for all characters during debate scenes, and it supports Nintendo Switch 2. A limited-time sale ran until July 19 at 22:59, with the download version at 20 percent off, or 2,800 yen.
That release followed a year in which the Steam version accumulated more than 600,000 in cumulative sales and a 96 percent positive user rating. The game then appeared in a wider context: the third Steam Anime Game Festival, which opened September 8, 2026 and ran through September 14, listed Magical Girl no Majo Saiban among its discounted titles. At Mega Hobby EXPO 2026 on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at AKIBA_SQUARE in Akihabara, Tokyo, Alter showed an Emma Sakuwa Key Visual Ver. figure from the game in its game lineup.
