Nippon Marathon launches December 17 on Switch

Publisher PQube and developer Onion Soup Interactive today announced the launch date for Nippon Marathon. The game is confirmed to be getting a release on Switch on December 17.

Below are the latest details covering the game’s seventh level, Jinko Eki Station and more:

Level 7: JINKO EKI STATION

What could be more chaotic than having to run through a busy Japanese train station during rush hour with hundreds of salarymen and barriers? How about just missing the departing bullet train so you have to run on top of it and jump on a bull train mid race! Add some watermelons, classic banana peels and hurdles to that and – voila – we have ourselves a brand new Nippon Marathon track!

Story Mode: Snuguru Maestro

Story Mode allows you to choose and follow the journey of the four main characters from pre-Nippon Marathon to post-Nippon Marathon in a mix of races and visual novel with numerous chapters – one of them is Snuguru Maestro! Find out about his ancestry, where his love for watermelons comes from and most importantly: how in the world is he half-human, half-dog?!

Stay at the front of the pack to make your competitors disappear at the end of the screen and gain stars – then the race resets to the last checkpoint until the finish line where the racer with the most stars wins! Easy, right? Absolutely, if it weren’t for throwable fruits, shopping carts, inflatable pineapples, collapsing tracks, clingy Shiba Inus, water melon rains and many more hilarious hazards!

Nippon Marathon will be distributed via the Switch eShop.
