It seems like every time we load up the UK Switch eShop and check out the Coming Soon page that something new awaits us lately. We've got Oceanhorn, Bulb Boy, Death Squared and now Rocket Fist to look forward to in the not-too-distant future.
Previously announced for the Wii U eShop, it seems that Rocket Fist is making the leap over to the Switch instead, which makes sense. It's coming out on 13th July and will cost £8.99 in the UK. The North American release is still to be confirmed, but we can assume it will likely be out on the same day.
Rocket Fist is described as a "rocket dodgeball arena" game and we expect it will be great fun to play with a friend. Here is some blurb from the developer to give you a flavour of what its all about:
Rocket Fist is an arena game with crazy robots in chaotic rocket fist battles. Aim against your frenemies and prove your dexterity by killing each other with rocket propelled fists in this frenetic mix of dodgeball and billiards!
You can hold one Rocket Fist at a time and you only get one shot to throw your punch before having to run, hide and dodge to pick it back up! Just like in dodgeball, but with way more rockets! When you’re running away you can ninja dash around the arena, and if you’re feeling lucky you can try dash-bumping your friends in their faces to steal their rocket!
Easy to learn, hard to master, Rocket Fist’s quick rounds will keep you coming back for more. It’s the perfect game to bring out when your friends are over and in need of some explosive action!
Does this sound like your cup of tea? Let us know if you plan to pick it up next month with a comment below.

U.S.?
"Fist friends"? Ha ha.....they'd better be very good friends
If you can dodge a rocket fist, you can dodge a ball.
I take it that it will be couch co op only and no online?
Online multiplayer?
Have it on Steam.
Gonna get it on Switch
Is all that screen shake in the game or just the trailer? Because it looks pretty unpleasant.
@Kiz3000 Yeah, that's really the question that decides whether I'd buy it or not.
@Kiz3000 I suppose fisting is local only, at this point.
@chardir I sure hope you can turn it off. I almost always dial that effect way back if given the option.
Looks awesome and for only £9? Cool. Online play will equal an insta-buy from me
Looks fun, but that straight on overhead always makes me uncomfortable for some reason.
Is it like rocket league? Lol
This looks super fun. You sold me at "Single Player Campagin."
Dodgeball? With rockets?! Count me in!!!
I don't normally like top-down games, but this has a certain charm to it. Hopefully it comes stateside soon, as well.
I frequent reddit Switch daily and the other day there was this guy/girl asking what indie games were people most excited about. I noticed that most people only remember a few by name. This is a pity since there are lots of good indie games coming to Switch and I wish Nintendo would do an Infographic like they did with the First and Third parties coming this year for both 3DS and Switch. Indies deserve more recognition because for now they are the third parties games.
