Flyhigh Works has revealed a concrete release date for Deemo, their upcoming rhythm game on Switch. It will launch on the Japanese eShop next week, on September 21st, for 3,000 Yen. It will feature over 200 songs, with additional songs coming via free DLC this Winter.

A Western release has not yet been confirmed, but with the Switch being region-free, you can just grab it off the Japanese eShop if you don’t want to wait. Here’s a new trailer for the game:

Are you aware of the fact that Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle isn’t actually out in Japan yet? The much-lauded game has been available in the West for a couple of weeks now, but hasn’t hit Nintendo’s home turf yet. We’ve known for a while now that Nintendo are publishing the game themselves in Japan, and that it would be released sometime next year, but in the recent Nintendo Direct, a concrete date has finally been revealed. Turns out that Japanese fans won’t have to endure too much of 2018 without Mario + Rabbids as the game is launching on January 18th.
