Blasting its way onto Switch in western territories next week is Rolling Gunner, a side-scrolling, bullet hell shoot 'em up which has only been available in Japan up until now.

You'll be able to pick this one up from 20th June as a digital download, although a physical release is also planned for "late 2019" if you'd rather have a lovely box to plonk on your shelf at home. We've got a description and feature list for you to check out below, as well as a handful of screenshots.

The year is 2061 and nearly three decades have passed since the new metallic element "Busterium" was discovered by the Lerman Matsunaga corporation at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Utilizing this new alloy, Lerman Matsunaga developed a new clean energy engine called the Buster Engine, which was globally adopted and quickly replaced fossil fuel and nuclear-based engines.

With nearly all of the world’s engines now being centrally powered and controlled by a fully automated computer system called BAC, the unthinkable has happened: BAC has gained intelligence and has turned against humanity. With humanity on the verge of extinction, a secret internal division of Lerman Matsunaga had the foresight to design a special weapon against BAC: the Rolling Gun.
