Soccer Slammers is heading to Switch, Atooi has announced. The arcade soccer game is inspired by NBA Jam, and “is a 2-on-2 arcade soccer experience focused on fast, fun gameplay”.

A release date for Soccer Slammers has not yet been announced. However, it should be out in time for the World Cup.

Atooi has a few other Switch games on the way. Xenodrifter is scheduled for February 15, and we’ll also be seeing Totes the Goat and Treasurenauts. It also sounds like Atooi will be moving forward with a Kickstarter to bring Chicken Wiggle to Switch.

Earlier in the month, Tiny Metal went missing on the European Switch eShop. It has since been restored.

According to Area 35, Tiny Metal was temporarily taken down due to a mistake with the rating. We speculated that this was the reason for its removal, as we’ve seen something similar happen with a couple of other games.
