Runner3 will be on Switch towards the start of 2018. When it does release, it won’t just be an eShop title. Nicalis announced a partnership with Choice Provisions today that will bring fans a physical version.

You’ll be able to find Runner3 on store shelves in Q1 2018. The physical version will be priced at $39.99. Given Nicalis’ past, it’ll probably come with some goodies other than just the game on a cartridge.

Choice Provisions published Woah Dave! a couple of years ago. They’re also behind the new Switch game Runner3. So it would make sense then the the main character from Woah Dave! would be playable in Runner3, right?

That’s exactly what’s happening. Choice Provisions has confirmed that Dave will be put in Runner3 as a playable character.

Choice Provisions also said today that it has “quite a few announcements to make about Runner3”. We’ll be hearing about other playable character, costumes, the in-game shop, and more in the future.

Runner3 introduces “Puppet Shows”

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment

One of the new elements in Runner3 are “Puppet Shows”. In a blog post this week, Choice Provisions explained what these are all about.

Here’s the rundown:

If you A) complete a world in Runner3 and B) collect the required items scattered all throughout, you’ll be treated to a Puppet Show. You don’t have to watch it, but doing so will provide you with a little more backstory for the game. For example, those who watch the Puppet Show for Spookyland will learn what life was like in that world before The Parliament of Owls arrived (spoiler: it was a lot better).
Oh, and all of the Puppet Shows will be narrated by Charles Martinet. It was our hope all along to have more Martinet in this game, and this is just one example of how we’ve managed to pull that off!

We also have a look at one of the puppets:
