Super Blood Hockey seeing release on Switch next month

Following its release on Steam, Digerati and developer Loren Lemcke are putting the retro charm and pixelated violence of Super Blood Hockey on consoles. The arcade sports action title will launch for Switch sometime in April.

New to the console release is a Franchise Mode “that puts players in the shoes of a corrupt coach as they recruit players from prison, utilize performance-enhancing drugs, pull the plug on injured teammates, and use other underhanded tactics to succeed.”

Here’s an official overview for Super Blood Hockey plus a trailer:
