Pocket Rumble is a retro-styled fighting game from Cardboard Robot Games that was originally expected to launch for the Switch in March 2017… just after the console’s debut. Obviously, that didn’t happen. But the developer is still hard at work on the game, which was inspired by the litany of SNK fighters originally released for the Neo Geo Pocket Color around the turn of the millennium.
In a new “Developer Update,” Cardboard Robot has revealed that Pocket Rumble will finally be released for the Switch sometime between now and the end of July. They also confirmed that everyone who backed the game on Kickstarter will receive a free download code for the Switch version.
For fans of Pocket Rumble, this won’t be the end. Cardboard Robot said that additional content will be added to the game on Steam as it’s completed. After it’s perfected through several rounds of testing and feedback, all of this content will be added to the Switch in one big update (“Version 2.0”) at a later date.
For now, you can check out the “Developer Update” video for Pocket Rumble that’s been embedded above.
