If this isn't a teaser of things to come, we're not sure what is. The developer behind Castle Crashers recently posted the below drawing on its Twitter account. As you can see, it's four colourful Switch Joy-Con controllers. It also showed some extra drawings of pink and purple Joy-Cons.
If you've ever played The Behemoth 2D beat 'em up before, you should already know these colours match the knights in the game, who are tasked with rescuing four princesses captured by a dark wizard.
The title was first published on console in 2008 via Xbox Live Arcade and has since been released and remastered for multiple other platforms. If it does make it across to the Switch, this would be the first time the game has ever been released on a Nintendo system. Below is a look at the remastered version in action:
Would you be eager for some more multiplayer beat 'em up action on the Switch? Have you played this game elsewhere before? Tell us down in the comments.

Always heard good things on this one... would def. give it a look if they released it
Great game, and it has been years since I've played this on the 360. Would definitely double dip after all this time, co-op with my girl would be a blast.
I have rebought this game so many times. The thought of having it with me all the time just sounds to good to be true.
This was my game back on 360. Had a lot of fun with this. I might double dip if it came to Switch.
Have on 360. Will definitely rebuy for portable greatness.
The excitement is real
Dude if they bring this, Alien Hominid and BattleBlock Theater i would freak out!!!
Not sure what’s going on. Did a deer fart?
Gimme a physical 2-pack of both this and BattleBlock Theater and I’ll give you a paycheck. Maybe not a whole paycheck, but a decent chunk of a paycheck. Must buy.
Great title, but man, an oldie. Had this one on my PS3. Picked it up on Steam. If you've not played it, the thing's a blast, but it will undoubtedly be more reasonably priced on other platforms. With Nintendo we get the 'here's a new 10 year-old game tax'. 2008, man. 2008
This would be most welcome as buying 4 controllers for the Xbox os a little expensive
Yes, yes, and a yes.
Ugh how many copies of this game do I own now? Lol.
Yes please!.. seems like a match made in heaven to me, I too would own several copies of this if it does come to Switch.
YES PLEASE!!!
Behemoth are ones of the devs I've been wishing would come back to Nintendo systems!
Battleblock Theatre next? Bloomin' love that game!
I heard about this yesterday and it seems very likely. I cant say for sure if I will get this, since I've played it before but honestly never had a desire to own my own version of the game. But at least it's an option I'll have now.
However, I'm hoping this sells well enough to make The Behemoth consider releasing all their future titles on Switch as well. Because I love their art style and sense of humour. It's amazing.
My buddy Steve has some of his music in this game so I would definitely support it. Wow, New Grounds is such a part of my 20s... Wish they would bring Alien Hominid to Switch, too.
i am but a humble reader and game enthusiast, but really, Every Company needs to put Every Game they possibly can onto the Switch. The Switch market for their games is incredibly strong and the sales potential is very good. I, personally, no longer buy a game on anything else anymore becase i feel it will be on switch soon enough. that is called a Market right there......
Yes more stuff like this. Classic games don't just come from the nes, snes, n64 and gc.
meh, i don't like that game ... iwant battleblock theater on switch! but it's the same dev, i guess battleblock will come next ^^
This is awesome! I didn’t think this would ever port over. I’m hoping this rumour is true! One of my favourite games. Icing on the cake would be if they release a physical.
Played this the night before getting married. After that I was too busy playing other things.
@sleepinglion Dude, they're selling games from 1985 on the Switch. 34 years tax!
@sleepinglion When Castle Crashers Remastered was re-released on Xbox1 it was priced at 15. That is totally a deserving price for a game this good.
It would be great if this happens. One of the games that actually got me into gaming.
This game just screams Switch!
PLEASE let this come to the Switch!
Used to play this with my son when he was a kid. Would buy again!
Day one.
Give me alien hominid too.
Been playing this game since the original release. Wouldn't have a problem with buying it again. My kids love paying it as well.
I had this on the PS3, but I wouldn't mind playing it again on the Switch.
Just announced for PAX EAST. Now we just needon't ALIEN HOMINID!
