Devolver Digital published the latest trailer for I Hate Running Backwards, which is on track for a late summer launch on Switch. View the video below.

Vertical Strike Endless Challenge

Vertical Strike Endless Challenge is on the way to Switch, according to the latest issue of Famitsu. Playism will be publishing the game this summer on the eShop. Pricing is set at 461 yen.

This will be one of many games Playism is bringing to Switch. The company is also working on Angels of Death, Kero Blaster, and Croixleur Sigma.

PixelJunk Monsters 2

A demo for PixelJunk Monsters 2 is now available on the Japanese Switch eShop. It should be offered in other regions soon as well, but if you can’t wait, you simply need a Nintendo Account to access it early. The eShop listing for the full game mentions English support, so we assume that applies to the demo as well.

The PixelJunk Monsters 2 demo takes up 853MB of space. Look for the full game on May 24.
