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.

Thumper confirmed for May 18 on the Switch eShop

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.
Thumper coming to Switch in May in Japan

Thumper was one of the games that was confirmed for the Switch at the Nintendo Switch Nindies Showcase in February. Since then, we haven’t heard much about it. Curiously, the game was actually shown off during the latest Nintendo Direct – but only in the Japanese version, despite the game being developed by a Western studio. It seems like NoE and NoA wanted less of a focus on indie games in their respective Directs.
The Japanese Direct revealed that Thumper will launch in May in Japan. We don’t know its European or North American release date yet, but thankfully, it’s easy to access the eShops of other regions on the Switch.
Runner3, Thumper will support HD Rumble

Two indie Switch games announced for the platform within the past few days should be making use of HD Rumble.
First up, Choice Provisions indicated during a live stream that the feature will be used in Runner3. Making it an exclusive shows “how confident we are in the system.”
Much like Runner3, Thumper will also have HD Rumble. The game’s developer also said that it should run at 60 FPS.
