Publisher Headup Games and developer 13AM Games have confirmed their colour-coded brawler Runbow will hit the Nintendo Switch eShop on 24th April. Not only that, but there's a Deluxe Edition due to arrive at retail on 14th June, complete with DLCs and some physical goodies yet to announced.
If you've never played it before, it's a racer, platformer and brawler all rolled into one where a special colour-changing mechanic that makes platforms disappear if the background changes to a matching colour. It's fast-paced and brilliant fun when played with friends, and the Switch version will support eight-player local multiplayer and up to nine-players online so you know you're getting the full Runbow package. There's even plenty of content for single-player aficionados, too.
Will you be picking up Runbow his April (or June)? Let us know in the comments section below...

I own it already and I'm not buying it again. It was good of them to let people know in advance that a physical version will be coming at a later date.
This is one that looked really fun during the Wii U era and I missed out because I skipped that system. I look forward to playing it on Switch.
@NintendoFan4Lyf I'd leave him to it, this is all he's got.
Glad to know there’s a physical edition on the way. I’ll hold off for that.
@WiltonRoots You mean that's all Switch has got. And coming from you with your sarcastic ports posts, that's rich.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE yawn Say something different, please I dare you, something constructive maybe instead of complaining
@SLIGEACH_EIRE "You mean that's all Switch has got. And coming from you with your sarcastic ports posts, that's rich."
Log off and live life man....shouldn't you be complaining about the Japanese charts not being up yet?
If you didn’t get it for the Wii u or 3ds. Get it for the switch if you want get it again and again
Meh
not sure i'll double dip for this one. bought it on PC and wasn't really playing it that often. cool game otherwise.
I'll get it. I got it for free with the Nindies Bundle years ago on Wii U and it's retailing for just £20.99 physical in the UK.
This game looks so sick! I already gave it style points when it first came out!
Stop getting excited about slightly-old rereleased games and ports on the Switch.
@riChchestM Make me.
@SmaggTheSmug That does sound more fun
@riChchestM @SmaggTheSmug get a room, you two.
Always wanted to play this, so yep. Going digital tho, as it really looks like something I always want to have on my system.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE What is it you do want, exactly? These studios already have these games made. The Switch wasn't around when the game originally launch. Now they are bringing their games over. It's not as if this is taking away from new games.
You'll see in past articles, I've actually agreed with you - this is a bit of a slow period for Switch in my opinion, and there's not much in the way of big first party or third party AAA releases I'm looking forward to. In the absence of that, what harm is done by third party devs bringing their games over?
@Appleflap The game is fantastic with a group. I own it on both Wii U and I recently purchased it again on Steam, because my Wii U has gone off into storage...
@riChchestM Well soooooorry a lot of us didnt buy a Wii U
@WiltonRoots the Japanese charts are old news, he posted about them in the forum 2 years ago
Im really excited for this. However i’ll be waiting til June for that Physical Copy.
A fantastic party game; definitely worth picking up again!
Oh yes!! Brought it day one on WiiU and again on NX. Fun party game.
They did a good job on announcing physical alongside digital! I'll wait for that.
@riChchestM Except for the fact a lot of people never even owned a Wii U? Seriously man, telling people to not get excited is so uncool.
@gortsi Ah that makes sense. Thanks.
@NCChris It doesn't matter if you owned a Wii U. It's also on PC, Xbox and New 3DS. It's old. Should it be on Switch. Sure,why not. But the sub-heading on the article is "Colour us excited". Nope. Just nope.
I just have to come out and say this, @sligeach_eire is a legend! I don't always agree with his opinions, especially about the hate on ports and all, but props for always being able to create debate on this site! Keep doing you, you crazy diamond.
I may get physical, depending on price.
I couldn't really stay interested in the game, it was fun half-way through....but then I just...stopped caring...
Brilliant game with great devs. I have this on Xbox One and Wii U and will definitely be triple-dipping here.
@riChchestM As a PC owner I find local multiplayer games to be a much better fit for the Switch. I don't own any other consoles since they're basically just inferior PCs anyway.
InvisiGun Heroes really needs a Switch port.
