Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum just made it to Switch, and we have a new trailer to celebrate. The title was only just announced this month but has already released.

Everything you need to know can be found in the following overview:

Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum is coming to Switch and is launching in just a few weeks, it’s been revealed. Publisher iam8bit and developer Retrotainment are behind the new title.

Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum takes place after the events of GPK Mad Mike: Fury Load. This was a series of shorts written by Adam F. Goldberg (creator of the TV show The Goldbergs) set in a post-apocalyptic world. After saving the day, Mad Mike simply wants his favorite stale gum, but the factory run by Brainy Janie only makes fresh gum. That prompts an adventure in which Mad Mike will travel through time and space with his friends on a high-tech toilet to collect the ingredients to make it stale.

Retrotainment Games opened a Kickstarter last month in an attempt to fund its new game Haunted Halloween ’86: The Curse of Possum Hollow, which features a mix of platforming and beat ’em up gameplay. It was initially planned as only NES title, but it’s now confirmed for a current Nintendo platform as well.

The $5,000 Kickstarter goal was smashed out of the park, guaranteeing the NES version. Additionally though, a $20,000 Wii U stretch goal was reached.
