Last September, we found out the obscure fighting game Lethal League Blaze would be coming to the Switch in 2019.
Publisher Oizumi Amuzio has now confirmed it will be released in Japan on 12th July, for the price of 2,000 yen. This will follow with a physical release on 12th September.
The developer, Team Reptile, has also provided a brief update about the western release. In a reply to a fan on Twitter, it said the local launch was also planned for July.
This second entry follows on from the original Lethal League and is rocking a cel-shaded aesthetic similar to Sega's Jet Set Radio. It's not a surprise, considering video game composer Hideki Naganuma has contributed to the soundtrack. He previously worked on the Jet Set and Super Smash Bros. series.
Will you be keeping an eye on this high-speed ball fighting game? Tell us below.

Watched plays of the first game and... wow it is tripot. Curious to see what people think of this one.
Looks cool like if someone built a fighting game around those moments in Smash where you’re reflecting a projectile back and forth. Gotta love that JSR style art and Naganuma soundtrack.
Go Go Hypergrind..?
Ain't nothin' like a funky beat!
So fighting with dodgeballsand pop hip-hop artstyle..... I'm digging it!
I loved playing Lethal League with a friend on his computer. I have my eyes out for this
Wow i got really excited at this announcement and then i realsied i played it years ago on PS4.
Absolute love for the developers of this game and the game itself (played with the devs a couple times)
was one of the first players of both games and still play it with friends alot, great party game and works great on switch aswell.
Oh Man! Lethal League, and Lethal League Blaze are awesome!
I've had these since their PC releases, and they're great fun! Think of it as Smash Bros meets Pong, except the pong ball is what can kill you!
@YANDMAN this is the sequel
It was released only on pc
@NullPointerExcep Must of been Steam then, i'm constantly fltting between platforms.
Might be a nice change of pace for me. Single player?
@Tethutendo Me too. Stuff like this, ARMS, Battery Jam, and even Rocket League to an extent, have been bringing back those feels that made the Dreamcast great.
@TobiasAmaranth I also miss that game.
@rjejr professor KAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!
man i wish they would port Jet Set Radio to the switch
