Runner3 is one of the higher profile indie games on the horizon for the Switch, continuing the rhythm-platformer gameplay in what seems like an even more outlandish adventure than the last. The game was promised for a 2018 release date, and it seems that the developers are closing in on announcing that release date, as it’s just been confirmed that Runner3 is currently under review at Nintendo.
A post recently appeared on the official devblog confirming that Runner3 has gone gold and that Nintendo is in the process of ensuring it’s fit for a release. Assuming all goes well, Choice Provisions will then commence the printing of the game on physical cartridges and have the release date announced shortly after. Hopefully this all means that we’ll be seeing the game sometime this spring, but the wait may turn out to be longer than that.

Picked up Runner2 recently.
Still need to run through it...
Great to hear. Been looking forward to this since it was announced.
I can't wait for this preposterous yet superfluously amazing sequel to come out soon
I have been super psyched to play this , I love Runner 1 and 2 . I love all the Bit. Trip Titles I would love to see them or their sequels, which would be fantastic if some of the other Bit. Trip Titles would get a sequel like Core or Fate loved Fate and I put hours into Beat and Flux such an amazing set of titles would be perfect on Nintendo Switch .
I cannot wait. Might go back and play the whole Bit.Trip series before it comes out.
Love the Bit.Trip series. Excited for this.
Fate is this best in the series but I love Runner. Def picking up day 1.
Very excited. Can’t wait to buy.
Runner 2 on Wii U was so good, my son and daughter both enjoyed playing it too.
Please don't price it 40€ on the eShop Nicalis way
I was excited, but now I’m worried it will be overpriced.
Y’all may think I’m crazy, but this is my most anticipated Switch title of 2018 (unless they unveil a new F-Zero at E3 😋)
I can't be the only person who hopes Runner 2 is ported to Switch before 3 comes out. I never beat the second one and I've retired my Wii U. Very unlikely 2 gets a Switch port before 3 comes out, but it would be okay in my book.
I’m with everyone who loves every bit.trip game and can not wait for Runner3. Bring them all to switch. I even has my Wii on last week playing beat.
How has a digital only game gone gold without preorders?
Also runner may be good, but I like almost every other game in the entire series more besides Fate. Would love seques to Other games in the series
I liked BitTrip 2 so I'll be on the outlook for this one when it comes out.
@Radbot42 Going Gold means they are no longer making changes to the game, and are now in the process of getting it prepped for release.
@link3710
I thought going gold meant so many preorder sales
@Radbot42 The two are unrelated. Going gold is a manufacturing term, not sales related.
Big fan of the first two games here.
Very interested in seeing what they're doing to spice things up this time around.
I really enjoyed the original. The sequel less so (had to play on keyboard). Runner 3 looks good and there hasn't been a ton announced about it, but I just hope that enough additions have been made to justify the game. Runner 2 definitely did.
So excited for this one!
Holy heck.
I'll gladly try CV's crudités.
@Radbot42 i preordered on amazon
Day 1 purchase, hands down
Runner 2 it's great.
