A listing on the North American eShop shows that ChromaGun is making its way to Switch. It may remind you of something like Portal, but the game is something else entirely.

You can expect the following from ChromaGun:

“ChromaGun is a first person puzzler about colors. The basic principle is as easy as applying it is complex: Exit the chambers via the exit doors. Use the ChromaGun to colorize walls and WorkerDroids to progress in the chambers. WorkerDroids (the players’ main cause of headaches in ChromaGun) are attracted to walls of the same color and can be used for a variety of tasks like opening doors, activating triggers or removing the danger of deadly electrified floor-tiles by mercilessly sacrificing them. ChromaGun encompasses eight chapters of mind-melting puzzles and witty background-narrative.”

Here’s the general premise of ChromaGun plus a trailer:

Nintendo’s mobile games haven’t exactly come out on time. The most recent title, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, was originally planned for 2016. As we know, that didn’t happen, and the official launch took place last month.

As a way of increasing and improving its mobile output, The Wall Street Journal reports that Nintendo is looking to cooperate with additional developers. Doing so would allow the company to release games on a more frequent basis for smart devices.

The Wall Street Journal adds that Nintendo has spoken with Puzzle & Dragons maker GungHo Online Entertainment. This would be a partnership and not anything extra. The Wall Street Journal says that Nintendo isn’t pursuing ownership stakes.
