Another NeoGeo game has received a release date on the Switch eShop. Next Thursday, Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors will be available. The Japanese eShop lists it for May 18. NeoGeo games tend to arrive during the same week worldwide, so we expect this to continue with Galaxy Fight.
Hamster still has a number of NeoGeo games in the pipeline for Switch. These include Shock Troopers 2nd Squad, Last Resort, and the first Sengoku.
Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors will be priced at $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29.
It was announced a couple of months ago that Rime would be priced at $39.99 / €44.99 / £39.99 on Switch. That’s despite the fact that all other versions will be sold for $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99. Naturally, people weren’t happy about the $10 price hike, but publisher Grey Box is looking to soften the blow.
Rime’s digital version will now cost $10 less, down to $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99. Although the physical version’s price isn’t changing, it will now include a printed code for a download of the full soundtrack, which will normally cost $10 on its own.
Grey Box reiterated today that the original price difference comes down to “the additional development, manufacturing, and publishing costs” on Switch. If it were any lower, Rime would be sold at a loss.
Below is the full message from Grey Box:
