Runbow was recently made available on Switch as a digital download. But for those who are interested in a physical version, you won’t have to wait much longer for a boxed copy. 

Headup Games announced today that Runbow is releasing physically on Switch in North America on August 14. The European launch will take place slightly earlier on August 10.

Here’s a description of the game:

With tons of competitive modes for up to Nine players online and four players locally and a massive single player adventure, run bow is the crazy, colour-based platformer you’ve been waiting for. The world of run bow changes with each swipe of the background, so you’ll have to stay on your toes as platforms and obstacles disappear – if you can’t see something, it doesn’t exist. Fast, frantic, and fun for up to Nine players, run bow is filled with tons of modes and content to keep you running back for more.

– Features the original single-player game.
– Includes Satura’s space adventure.
– The deluxe Edition comes with all 4 costumes & music packs.
– Enjoy Runbow OST volumes 1 & 2.

The next big content update has gone live for Slime-san. Version 1.2 is out now for all players, adding in content from the Sheeple’s Sequel and “Superslime Edition” upgrade.

Below are the patch notes:

NIS America published a new trailer for God Wars: The Complete Legends. You can watch it below.

Shining Resonance Refrain has a voice pack on the eShop. It’s entirely free, so it won’t cost you anything extra. Once downloaded, you’ll be able to play through in Japanese.
