Sky Force Anniversary only arrived on the Wii U eShop in March this year, making it a relatively rare beast - a new release on the now last-gen system. It's a darn good shoot 'em up, and in positive news for fans of the genre its follow-up - Sky Force Reloaded - is heading to the Switch in December.
It's a new instalment in the series that carries across various ideas and mechanics from the original, which is no bad thing.
Neat features and options will include local co-op, ship customisation and weekly tournaments that'll take place on new stages.
It has firm release dates for PC, PS4 and Xbox One but is currently down for 'December' on Switch, with a price on all platforms of $9.99USD (with regional variations).
Let us know whether you're looking forward to this on the Switch.

Remind me of B-Wings from NES.
I think this was already reported on here last week, not sure if it had a release month then though.
This shooter is very good.
I bought it on Steam, VITA, PS4 and NVIDIA Shield TV.
Yes, there is already a Tegra X1 version
Ooh! This looks great!
I would buy this physical
Played this to death on iOS, before Apple decided to castrate Game Centre and the online leaderboards - and yes, the fact SFR is coming to Switch has already been reported on this site previously. An excellent vertical shooter - although for me it will now always need to be played via touchscreen and in portrait mode.
I'll be grabbing this for sure
With so many shmups on the Switch, I have to say this one actually stands out as possibly the best of the vertical ones. Definitely interested, wish it was physical.
Oh nice! Loved SineMora EX on Switch. Sold!
I'll keep an eye on this one.
Glad it is digital, tho. Can be bothered with making more space for another box. Have enough of that on a sd card.
Love this game when it was orginally release on Nokia Sybiam system, ever since heard it's coming to Switch, I downloaded the game from App Store and become addicted again! Love all the games from the developer Infinite dreams
SOLD!
@Wyk126 Wow. Someone else who played the original S60 release!
...this actually reminds me that I want Nokia to make their N-Gage V2 games be available...Snakes and Space Impact: Kappa Base come to mind.
I’m in day 1!! Physical version of course!!
First day purchase , best shmup ever made
@Ventilator I don't think reloaded is on any of those platforms yet , you are thinking of skyforce anniversary.
@mattmayatt it may be on steam , it's definitely out on mobile platforms.
Wasn't there to be a physical release??
great game. bought on ps3 and played it to death, bought it on wii u but performance was a bit sligeach:) and i dont think it was patched. will happily get this version on switch
This looks great, and the price is right. Love how much game you can get for so little these days.
This looks good! Not sure which type of game like this I want to get though...the switch seems to have a few.
Zero Gunner 2 will be the Switch's best shmup this year, and i'm very confident in RXN Raijin because of the team behind it, and i've also decided to get Dimension Drive and Danmaku Unlimited 3 when they arrive on the Switch...
... but considering how much money i'm throwing at Switch stuff this year i might as well give this one a chance, too.
Awesome! Love Sky Force Anniversary on the Wii U. Great that a new game will be heading to the Switch.
@mattmayatt : My PS4 and VITA versions is reloaded.
