Back in 2014, Necrosoft released Gunhouse, a title that mashes up puzzle and active tower defense gameplay. That same game is now on the way to Switch, a listing on the European eShop reveals.
Below is some additional information and a trailer:
Based on a listing from the USK, Hello Kitty Kruisers is coming to Switch. It was rated by Germany’s classification system last month.
Hello Kitty Kruisers didn’t exactly receive a great reception when it originally released on Wii U. The fact that it’s planned for a new platform is somewhat noteworthy though. Over the years, its price has gone up dramatically, and finding a copy these days will cost you a pretty penny. If Hello Kitty Kruisers were to be made available on a new platform, it would be interesting to see what would happen to the original game’s value.
