Cyber Shadow unveils Nintendo Switch physical release

We previously saw Cyber Shadow on the Nintendo eShop for Switch, but now a physical release is happening. Super Rare Games shared plans for boxed versions today.

6,000 copies will be sold, split into 4,000 standard units and 2,000 units of the Deluxe Edition. If you choose the latter, you’ll get fridge magnets with reversible battle scene, the CD soundtrack, enamel pin, and a sticker sheet. Both versions feature trading cards, a full color manual, and a sticker.

Cyber Shadow first debuted at the start of 2021. Below is an official overview:

The world has been taken over by the evil Dr. Progen and his merciless synthetic army. A desperate plea for help sets Shadow, the sole survivor of his clan, on one last mission to uncover what started the path to perpetual ruin. Your robotic companion, L-Gion, is your only guide through the ruins of Mekacity. How far will Shadow go to protect his clan and the one he loves? Is there more to their bond than meets the eye? Only you can unlock the secrets to your clan’s ancient powers. Hurry before you run out of time! The road to redemption awaits in Cyber Shadow, the quintessential Ninja Action game.

Key Features

• Experience sharply honed ninja platforming action! Dash, slice, and leap your way through the depths of Mekacity as you explore claustrophobic factories, corrupted research labs, fortified coastlines, vast skyscapes, and more!
• Powered by the lost souls of the ninja clan, Dr. Progen’s army mercilessly hunted down all life forms. As the sole survivor, you must take down more than a dozen apocalyptic bosses, ranging from enormous war machines to your synthetically-enhanced clan rivals
• Rescue your clan to unlock permanent Ninjutsu skills and abilities. Attack from afar with shurikens and kunai, or get closer by using your double jump, cross slash, or wall slide techniques. Summon fire, charge slashes, parries and much more to realize your true potential.
• Experience a gripping story– told both in-game and through animated cinematic story scenes between the action. Shadow returns from oblivion, hurtling through Mekacity on borrowed time for what will surely be his last mission. It’s unclear what transpired before he met his fate, but his clan was betrayed. What has become of the Clan’s master? Who can be trusted when nothing is as it seems?
• Authentic 8-bit presentation with handcrafted sprites, a detailed pixel aesthetic, and perfect controls. Modern touches like fluid animation, multilayered parallax backgrounds, and evolved game design
• Pulse-pounding soundtrack by Enrique Martin

The Cyber Shadow Nintendo Switch physical release will go up through Super Rare Games on February 27, 2025 here. Head on over here for more coverage of the title.
