Update (1/26): We’ve confirmed with Dufgames that the listing is accurate. Black Hole will release on February 6.

Original (1/25): Black Hole was originally intended for release on Switch in January, but it looks like the release window could be slipping just slightly. Currently, the European eShop has it down for February 6. The North American launch should be taking place around the same time.

Black Hole is an arcade-style twin-stick shooter set in space. The game has 40 levels spread across four worlds, three upgradeable ships, HD Rumble support, speedrun and colorblind modes, and leaderboards. Support is also included for touch controls, motion controls, and IR controls.
