Shu was a pleasant surprise when it launched on PS4 and other platforms last year. Following this success Coatsink is pleased to announce that its charming hand-drawn platformer will also be coming to the Switch this fall.
The Switch version of Shu will also include the recently-released ‘Caverns of The Nightjars’ DLC, complete with six additional levels.
Here's what Coatsink COO Eddie Beardsmore had to say about this upcoming release:
After working in conjunction with Raw Fury and Nintendo to bring Gonner to the Switch, we’re thrilled to be bringing our favourite platformer to the system.
Set in a scenic mountain village, Shu combines charming character design, beautiful hand-drawn visuals and fast-paced platform action as our heroes battle to save their friends while being pursued by a mysterious and unrelenting storm. Can you outrun the end of the world?
Let us know if you plan to pick this up for your Switch later this year with a comment below.

Looks like one to keep an eye on.
Not that interested.
Another day, another 2D sidescrolling platformer indie game.
There is an oversaturation of 2D platformers, but the hand drawn art caught my eye. I'll check it out if it reviews well, but in the meantime I've got more than enough platforming to play.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE another day. You are moaning about games being released on the switch
@kobashi100 I thinks it's more to do with the lack of variety that indies are releasing lately.
@kobashi100 I knew someone would respond with that rubbish.
The PS4 version has 77% on Metacritic and PC version has 84%.2D or not 2D,a good game is a good game.This one clearly has a lot more effort put into its visuals than the usual 8bit look most indies go for.
Excellent,another platformer and another one that escaped my attention elsewhere. Reviews of the PS4 version make it sound very good so this may well be another buy for me.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE - You must been a hoot at parties during the SNES era.
Four people running along, doesn't this just look like Rayman?
Beautiful art.
Indie games used to be innovative, now they are just rehash and the same old same old...
Another indie game I played ages ago for 9 dollars (And it came with the Vita version for free) They really need to stop with the rehashed indie parade on the Swith. Where is Hollow knight and flipping death?
Looks neat to me. That reminds me, I still need to play Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Well, he's not wrong.
Sprites look weak to me. It looks like a pre-alpha Rayman with placeholder graphics.
@Paraka
Nice art. Unfortunately I don't like runners but it does look (just) decent.
Doesn't look bad. But Lol, they nicked Owlboy!
