It's hard to believe how some games get revealed nowadays. A Reddit user by the name of Patrickwaite011 recently reached out to tinyBuild Games via email asking if the publisher would be releasing SpeedRunners on the Switch anytime soon.
Surprisingly, the CEO Alex Nichiporchik responded saying it would be priced at $15.00, rather than the $60.00 offered. This is technically the first official mention of the game coming to the Nintendo Switch. Take a look at the full message below:
If you're not familiar with SpeedRunners, it's sort of like a 2D platform version of Mario Kart (without the vehicles). Up to four players take control of runners who jump, duck and dive through multiple different courses while shooting various items at each other and trying to finish in first place at the same time. It's fast and frantic and includes both local and online multiplayer.
Of course, even though this is the CEO of tinyBuild responding, there's still no official public announcement about the game coming to the Switch. In saying this, it seems like there's a good chance it will eventually be released, as several tinyBuild titles have already been published on the Switch in the past, including the likes of Punch Club, Clustertruck and Party Hard.

I've heard a lot of talk saying this is basically a better version of Runbow. Judging from the gameplay its probably true
Really fun game. Thought it was already on the system, lol. Played the crap out of this on PC.
@Abeedo Runbow's good, sometimes great but SpeedRunners is excellent.
Huh, might give this a shot
Dang, this game looks great.
Hate to admit, but yeah. Does look better then Runbow. Sad that game never made a comeback like it should. Great party game though. ^^
@Abeedo Have you played Runbow?? This is like that but i'd say just better.
I wonder if it will include the youtubers DLC. I would get it only for Jessie Cox in a space butterfly suit, even though I stopped watching him a long time ago.
This looks great and like a lot of fun! Too bad that I stink at speed runs. When a platformer has a speed run level, it takes me forever to beat it.
Although, I could play this game with people worse at speed running than me . . .
Runbow with better animation, smoother gameplay, and grappling hooks?
Where do I sign up??
This looks surprisingly neat.
DAMNNNNNNN AT LASTTTTT i was waiting for this announcement for years thank goddddd
@Abeedo more like Runbow with less maps, less modes, no real SP options, less players, less characters, etc.
In reality the games are quite different.
I liked Runbow better. Runbow has its quirks, but it is packed full of content. This game was fun, but I haven’t gone back to it. My kid and I still go back to Runbow.
Looks a lot like Runbow, one of my favorite games on Wii U.
My kid played this to death on his cousins' XBone. This will probably be a day-one.
@gojiguy What matters most is gameplay though. In that department it looks better
@YANDMAN I have played Runbow. The idea was smart, but the gameplay was overshadowed by plenty of other great platformers. Character movement just felt slow
Oh hey, long time no see!
That game is great. It's one of the best games out there. I just hope they let you make and share custom levels like they do on PC.
@CurryPowderKeg79 But I've always been contacting Nintendo about Mother 3....
