Retailers have been listing it for awhile, but Monster Jam: Crush It! has been officially announced for Switch. GameMill Entertainment will publish the title on October 31.
Here’s an overview:
Monster Jam: Crush It! features a massive variety of game modes that capture the unexpected, unscripted and unforgettable moments that only Monster Jam can create. Climb the online leaderboards in single-player classic Monster Jam truck races, freestyle competitions and special physics-based skill challenges across 96 levels.
There are 25 fully licensed and detailed trucks to choose from, including fan-favorites like Grave Digger, Max-D, Monster Mutt and more. All of this raw, automotive power is brought to life with a cinematic, live-event feel in real-life stadiums like Sam Boyd Stadium, home of the Monster Jam World Finals, as well as other outdoor environments.
Monster Jam: Crush It! will cost $39.99. Select retailers will be selling a physical version, though it will be distributed on the eShop as well. View a trailer below.

It’s a busy week for the Switch eShop today, with many new releases gracing the digital store. One of the latest games is Pankapu. We have the launch trailer below.
Axiom Verge is coming to Switch next week, but some early gameplay has come in showing the new version in action. Check out the video below.
At this point, we don’t need to go over what a huge success Switch has been. It has blown everyone’s expectations out of the water, including Nintendo’s.
We’ve seen how well Switch can do when enough stock is available, and a new stat from analyst Mat Piscatella from NPD further puts this into perspective. According to Piscatella, physical software sales for the console in the United States “are on pace to be the biggest ever for a Nintendo platform launch year since ’95, by a fairly large margin.”
Worth noting, sales started to be tracked in 1995. So Switch is performing just about as well as Nintendo could have hoped – both with the hardware and physical software sales as well.
