Japanese firm QubicGames has announced its intention to bring Geki Yaba Runner (known as 2 Fast 4 Gnomz in the west) to the Nintendo Switch. If the name sounds familiar it's because the title was previously released on WiiWare and the 3DS eShop.
In addition to this port, QubicGames also confirmed that it is working on an all-new title by the name of Audio Hero, also bound for Nintendo's new console. No release dates have been given for either game.
When we reviewed 2 Fast 4 Gnomz back in 2012 we said it was "fast, fun, and challenging, with a charming art style and a sense of humour running through the entire experience" and awarded it 7 out of 10. The WiiWare original got a slightly less impressive 6 out of 10.

I remember playing the demo on 3DS. It was fun, but I never got the game.
Do you get it for free if you have it on 3DS?
Wahey.......all the big guns bringing the triple A titles to the switch!
@skwiddly LOL!
Yay...
Nice! Hopefully more and more independent developers will jump on board too because in the off chance that the Switch will end up like the Wii U in terms of third party support we will need all the help we can get. I own more indie games on my Wii U than I do full retail games for this very reason, though I am not really complaining since the quality is usually there. I don't think that the Switch will have as poor support as the Wii U did but you never really know, early signs are promising though.
AAA. The world and its mother can't wait.
@skwiddly lol. Support is strong
I hope Nintendo supports the switch
Am I the only one who actually loves 2 fast 4 gnomz? It's really good.
@Aurumonado
Yeah it's great and Gnomz by tje same studio is a great multiplayer game where up to 8players can battle and try to jump on each others head. Had lots of fun with both!
Port the original Gnomz game! That game was great fun in multiplayer.
@skwiddly: Lol, Smashing!!
2 Fast for Gnomz was a lot of fun on the Wii. Extremely frustrating at times, however.
....that gnome is creeping me out O.o
Creepy gnomes are watching you at night when you...
3DS!
that thing is creeeepy!
Hahah I reviewed it back then and gave it an 8/10 on WiiWare
It was super fast, super addicting, had about 80 levels, and was just 5 bucks!
Hey,
actually, we are from Poland, not Japan : )
This never came to be actually... or maybe it will be later on....
