Developer Dreadbit has shared more details about the Switch version if Ironcast. The game will come with some improvements (including extra content).
Here’s what we know:
- 4 ways to play: with Joycon/pro controller when docked with the TV, Handheld mode with Joycons, tabletop with Joycon/pro controller and lastly (but also my favourite!) Handheld with touch-screen.
- We’ve bundled all previous DLC Commanders and Ironcast in with this version. It’s the most complete package to date, with 7 Commanders and 7 mechs.
- You can now fire on the first turn.
- You can now sell older or unwanted systems for extra scrap.
- Complete re-balancing of the gameplay experience to make for a more consistent and thus more fair, campaign experience.
- All Commendation (persistent) unlocks now have more punch to them, making for a more meaningful upgrade after you die in a campaign.
- Complete re-factoring of all UI in the game, to ensure fonts and buttons are all usable and easy to read whether playing on the Switch’s handheld mode or a 120″ projector screen.
Ironcast will be available for Switch on August 10.

Here’s the full breakdown:
In Runner3, we’re expanding the depth of interaction between CommanderVideo and his world—not only via the environment, but also via helpful elements like vehicles and harmful things like enemies.
Case in point, this handsome devil…
Famitsu has just reported that Splatoon 2 has sold 670,955 physical copies in Japan within the first three days of the game’s release . This makes Splatoon 2 the biggest debut for a Switch title and highest selling Switch title to date in Japan.
Comparing the sales from the first game, Splatoon for Wii U had sold 156,610 physical copies in Japan within its first four days of release. Now that is really impressive and fresh.
