Shing! launches on Switch in August

Today, Mass Creation announced that the side-scrolling arcade action game Shing! will launch for Switch on August 28. It will be sold digitally via the eShop.

Alongside today’s news, a developer diary has been released that outlines the game’s inspirations and creation. We have that below along with more information about the project.

To pull off a modern look and feel while staying true to classic beat ’em up style, the Shing! team worked to strike the best balance between complexity and accessibility. The result is a unique control style designed around the right analog stick, making it a breeze to pull off angled slices, counters, aerials and more in fast-paced combat. Your band of wisecracking warriors each have their own strengths, and you can swap between them in an instant in a rich 2D world brought to life with colorful 3D artwork.
