It was only last week that Nintendo Life was reporting on news that Wild Guns Reloaded - the remake of the Natsume classic - was due this spring, and now it's been confirmed the gunslinging retro revival is headed to Nintendo Switch this April, with both a digital and a physical version of the game planned.
It's currently available for pre-order for $29.99 through GameStop in North America, although there's no news or links to any pre-order pages for retailers linked to the EU or the UK. Expect it to pop up in the usual places you purchase your games as we roll towards April.
If you missed it the first time around, Wild Guns Reloaded is a fast-paced gallery style shooter mixing the Wild West with steampunk. You can choose from classic gunfighters Clint or Annie, or opt to take two new characters into battle and dive, shoot and roll your way to cowboy glory.
Will you be pre-ordering Wild Guns Reloaded in 2018? Does the fact it's a remake rather than a straight port tempt you? Let us know...

Bit steep price wise but I have this on the PS4 and it’s a classic. I’d wait for a sale though guys it basically the Super Nintendo game with a few extras
Unless a game has unanimous 10s from multiple sources, I won’t pay $30 for an indie or low budget game. This looks like it’s worth $7 at best.
$30 for something this old? Serioiusly Natsume, is this a BOTW remake?
Thank you Natsume, you just saved me $255 from this ridiculous eBay seller. Soon I can play my Wild Guns complete both at home and on the go.
:Q___________.
@retro_player_22 they're obviously taking advantage of this fact. Still, I'm tempted too
It should be a digital only title and no more than $20. It getting a physical release means $30 is probably about the minimum price they could sell it for, I don't recall any others releasing at retail for less than that anyway. Sadly that means the digital price will likely be hiked up too for the sake of parity. It was an annoyingly common trend last year but one that seemed to pass as physical releases were announced after the digital release. As much as I want it, there's not a chance I'll be paying $30 for it.
I will definitely own this at some point.
Definitely add to my wish list (that grows no matter how often I prune it back). May have to wait until it gets down to £20 or less though. Spread what limited gaming funds I have as far as they can go.
Is it 30 bucks for both a physical and digital version? If so that is a tad expensive in this day and age for an old school arcade shoot em up. Now if it has online it might be worth it, I highly doubt that though.
What I want to know is can I use the joy cons for motion controlled aiming? I would hope they've added this for the Switch to make it the best version.
Price is steep though. I'm wondering whether I should get the original as it's on Wii U virtual console, much cheaper and not a whole lot different.
Annie in the optional blue dress is my jam. A big problem with the one I played on PS4 was that multiplayer used shared lives and no continues with absolutely no options to toggle, unless my memory fails me. If that’s remedied, consider me locked and loaded.
This game is great if you're a fan of arcade style games. I got this when it was on sale on ps4 for 50% off, but $30?!?! I'm not one to complain about price, but I really can't understand where Natsume gets that price tag; unless they're just looking at how much the cart goes for on the SNES and figures $30 is a steal in comparison.
Retail? Yes, please!
I'd buy it for $5.99, but for $30? I think I'll have to pass on that. I don't care how much the snes cart is going for on ebay, that price is ridiculous.
I had it on Wii, but couldn’t get over shooting native americans in this game. It made me feel bad and so i never played it again.
Am i the only one having a problem with that?
Or am i confusing it with Wild West Guns..?
$30? 😂😂😂
I imagine the cheapest an arcadey port gets on the Switch is $7.99. Even though it was on SNES, this game is very arcade.
@pAq this is a remaster of a SNES game that is mostly about shooting robots. I haven’t played every level but I don’t think there is much Indian content or if there is it blends in with everything else in a general Western theme
The PS4 version allows for up to 4 players in co-op; if the Switch version also has that, I'm in. Great game, the SNES prices are stupid, and should play well on the Switch to go.
EDIT: Gamestop says "Up to 4 Players Locally and Online Rankings". Yee-haw!
I just want someone to explain the flying long-haired dachshund.
@JasmineDragon: To explain the dachshund is to explain the mystery of life, the very reason for being, for only they know . . . .
...Oh, you mean the box art. Bullet the Doxy is a playable character
Definitely getting this. One of the few Switch games that I plan on buying digitally even though there's a physical copy.
A bit expensive for what is essentially a beefed up Blood Bros clone. I'll just stick with BB on MAME.
@bluedogrulez ah ok thanks, so i confused it .. but still not my kinda game
@bluedogrulez Thanks, good to know. I MUST HAVE IT. Love doxies.
@JasmineDragon They are superior beings! Especially this guy
<————
@retro_player_22 sooooooo more less then the physical copy of the switch version may go up to that price as well after some time passes??
