Rad Rodgers Radical Edition will be locking and loading on Nintendo Switch very soon indeed, with a brand new trailer (up above) confirming that the game will be available from 26th February.
As had already been revealed towards the end of last year, the Switch version will boast all-new content in the form of local co-op support, a versus mode, and several new playable characters. The Radical Edition adds ‘90s gaming stars Duke Nukem, Lo Wang from Shadow Warrior, and Cosmo from Cosmo’s Cosmic Adventure, as well as 3D Realms' Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison from Bombshell and the upcoming Ion Maiden.
Other new features include new levels, abilities, mini-games, a new overworld, and "tons of new secrets, collectables and unlockables". Frederik Schreiber, co-owner of publisher 3D Realms, has shared the following in a press release today:
“We love Rad, and we thought he deserved some awesome new friends to play with. With new levels, weapons, couch co-op and a versus mode, I think our fans may have a hard time putting this game down.”
As noted above, the game arrives on Switch on 26th February; the new content will also be added to the game on other platforms as a free update on the same day.
Is this cheeky adventure going on your Switch wishlist? Let us know down below.

That looks fun.
Dunno how this is news. My copy was shipped today.
@Astrolorange Yes, the physical edition was announced months ago.
Will pick up physical release for sure
Will get it the Physical at my local BestBuy. Amazon is good but since Prime no longer works for much of anything on there for discounts I gone back to my GCU til it expires.
I've not heard anything good about this game. Too bad - it kinda seemed like it had enough character. But as far as platformers go - this is probably bottom of the barrel stuff.
If I'm honest, I'd be giving this game a pass without Duke Nukem. But the involvement of the Duke (and voiceover work from John St John) has my interest.
As a lifelong fan of Apogee Software (now 3D Realms), Rad Rodgers and Ion Maiden are absolute must buys. Rad Rodgers isn't being released at retail in Australia, but thank God I can import.
And I loved Cosmo and the original Duke games, so this will be a real treat for me.
If there was a way to adjust the settings to make it more young kid friendly, I might be interested. If anyone knows if there is, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
@CaptnDave I think you can turn off swearing (am guessing it's beeped out) and blood effects in the PS4 version. There's obviously still going to be lots of shooting though. Hope that helps.
Thanks @wazlon That is helpful
