Today, Chucklefish Games finally announced that its fighting game Pocket Rumble will arrive on the Nintendo Switch on July 5. While the game has been available on PC, the developer has announced that it will now work on PC content updates after the Switch release. For those that have backed the project on Kickstarter, Chucklefish has also offered free Switch keys for backers.
From the game’s Kickstarter page:
The short version is that the Nintendo Switch port of Pocket Rumble is done and will be releasing sometime between now and the end of July! We’re currently still in the process of selecting an exact release date, and we’ll let you know as soon as we do.
All backers will be receiving a key for a free Nintendo Switch copy in addition to the Steam copy you already have. We want to apologize for the long delays by offering you all something as a token of our gratitude for your patience and support, and the Switch port is what we’ve been hard at work on this whole time. To receive your Nintendo Switch key, forward a copy of your Kickstarter pledge confirmation to
[email protected] and specify the region you’ll need a key for.
And since the Switch port is done, we’re now moving all of our resources back to developing new content on Steam, so expect to see new bosses and updates soon!
