So stop your grumbling!
Pocket Rumblehas been in the works for longer than some of our readers have been alive. Development on the game was just heating up when its team was onSup Holmes back in 2014, a couple of years ahead of itsEarly Access release on Steam. Then last year, it was announced for Switch with a tentative March 2017 release date.
Of course, March came and went and the game was nowhere to be seen. The radio silence that followed led some to assume that the game had tripped over its own feet and died just as it was about to step out the door. Well the game may have stumbled, but the good news is, the fall wasn’t fatal.Reportsstatethe game is coming soon to the Switchon a global scale, with an official release date to be announced any day now.
There was a time whenUltra Street Fighter IIwould have been the game’s main competition on Switch. Now it’s looking like it will be going againstBlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle,SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy,andBlade Strangersinstead. Strangely enough, all four games also happen to be crossover fighters.Pocket Rumble‘s guest characters include The Kid fromI Wanna Be The Guy, The Bazz fromTwo Best Friends Play, Fencer fromNidhogg, and Kick fromDivekickto name a few. While that doesn’t quite put the game in the same league as the nextSmash Bros., I’m sure it still has a good chance of making a name for itself in the time before Nintendo’s next fighter comes in and dominates the market.
