Drool

The string of strong eShop releases continues on Switch next week. This coming Thursday, Drool will be putting out its unique rhythm game Thumper. To download the title, you’ll need 697MB of free space on internal memory or a microSD card.

Nintendo released a brand-new trailer for Thumper, which will be available on the Switch eShop on May 18th. Check it out:

An official announcement has been sent out regarding Thumper’s release date on Switch. As we reported earlier today, the title is slated for May 18 on the Switch eShop.

Thumper will run 1080p while docked, and naturally at 720p in portable mode. 60 frames per second is supported with both play styles. As you would expect, HD Rumble is included as well.

Update: We’ve received an official announcement from Drool now. It’s looking like May 18 will apply to both North America and Europe.


Original: The European Switch eShop has updated with a listing for another significant title. It seems that Thumper is just around the corner, as it’s listed for May 18. The game will cost €19.99 / £15.99.

Here’s an overview:

“Thumper is rhythm violence: classic rhythm-action, blistering speed, and brutal physicality. You are a space beetle. Brave the hellish void and confront a maniacal giant head from the future.

Scream down the endless track and crash through punishing obstacles with simple, airtight controls. Hurtle forward, master new moves, reach overwhelming velocities, and survive epic boss battles. Every crushing impact is interwoven with a pounding original soundtrack. To reach synthetic bliss, you must conquer rhythm hell.”

Most games tend to hit the North American and European Switch eShops at the same time. We don’t have a confirmed release date for the states currently, but a May 18 launch is likely as well.
