The shmup (that's shoot-'em-up to you young 'uns) is one of the oldest genres in the industry, but that hasn't stopped it from shooting up various storms on Nintendo Switch over the last 10 months. Black Hole is one, and it's coming to the hybrid Nintendo hardware on the 6th February for EU eShoppers and 8th Feb for our North American friends.
Originally released on Ouya and Razor Forge TV, Black Hole will make full use of Nintendo Switch's hardware with support for HD rumble, touch and motion controls, a handy speedrun mode, leaderboards and even a colorblind mode. There's even a fresh trailer to get you excited for its gravity-fighting, death-dealing space shootout. We're currently working on our review, so look out for the official Nintendo Life verdict next week.
Share your thoughts on Black Hole below. Will you be shooting your way through its 40 intense levels?

Thank god this is coming out it’s been around 5 minutes since the last twin stick indie shooter was released. Having withdrawal 😒
Looks very bland and lifeless. Got to pass on this one.
Compared to Super Stardust made 10 years ago, this Blackhole looks like Trump's sh*thole.
this has that low effort Unity kind of look to it. Maybe eventually we can just get Geometry Wars 3
The graphics are a bit weak.

That's not at all patronising...
Wow tough crowd on this one... I think it looks fun! I do agree though the sheer amount of twin stick shooters we have on the system makes it so only the top of the top get my time now. Good problem to have though!!
There is starting to be a bit of an over-saturation of these sort of games on the Switch. Many of them are quite decent to very good, but none of them have really managed to stand out to me and they are blurring together.
