On top of the already planned port of Back in 1995, Japanese developer Throw the Warped code out today announced that they are also bringing a four-player co-op robot action game to the Switch in the form of Demolition Robots K.K..

Although no release date has been revealed quite yet, some preliminary details have been shared through the game’s official website. From the sound of things, a team of up to four players will be tasked to work together and destroy an entire city as efficiently as possible, as damaging friends will result in a penalty and less payout for completion of the job.

Kicking it off quickly, it has been confirmed that a prototype version of Demolition Robots K.K. will be playable at the Digital Games Expo 2018 on November 4 in Akihabara.

Some early screens of the game can be viewed in the gallery below.

Following up on yesterday’s confirmation by Level-5 that their ten year-old project Ushiro is now planned for Nintendo Switch, even more early details on the horror RPG title are leaking out of this week’s issue of Famitsu.

As part of an interview with Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino, some new comments have surfaced that shed light on how the studio has approached reviving the game that was originally planned for the PSP. In the translation, Hino confirms that development on the Switch version of Ushiro has not yet started, but states that new creators at the company have wanted the project to see a revival. He also shares that there was a lingering feeling of Ushiro being a “ghost project” because they had wanted to return to the title but haven’t quite yet.

As an aside, Hino also shared some insight into a handful of other ongoing Level-5 works. He confirms that development on Dragons and Colonies, Yo-kai Watch 4, and Inazuma Eleven Ares is going quite well, while also teasing that there are other unannounced titles up their sleeve. Although he hints that the company’s 20th anniversary title will have an unexpected approach to online functionality, Hino clarifies that no new games will be announced before the others have released.
