Publisher Coffee Stain and developer Easy Trigger have announced the "hard boiled action comedy arcade shooter" Huntdown will be arriving on the Switch eShop on 12th May. Believe it or not, but this game was actually confirmed for the Nintendo Switch way back in 2017.
When it does finally arrive in a few weeks, you can expect 16-bit pixel art graphics and 60fps gameplay backed by a synthesized soundtrack, and set in a neon-soaked, graffiti-strewn 80s inspired cityscape.
The game itself takes place in a future where criminal gangs rule and cops cower in fear. Only three bounty hunters can free the city from the corrupt list of felony and lay waste to the criminal underworld. If you don't like enforcing justice alone, you'll be able team up with a second player in co-op.
Below are some screenshots of the game from Nintendo's website:

Huntdown can't wait for the 12th to come... All classic lovers will be digging in on this one....
This look pretty cool.
For a second there it looked like an arena-shooter. If it's a side-scroller though, I'm down! Looks like it has tons of potential!
Now that is how you make a trailer! This game looks very promising
This does look very good. Anna Conda looks like a female version of Snake Plissken which is an awesome idea.
There's even a fight with a big fat bloke in a run-down ring, straight out of Escape From New York.
I'll wait for some reviews to come in but I'm almost certainly getting this one.
This looks absolutely amazing, day one me thinks.
I haven't played this since Sweden Games Arena a few years ago.
Coffee Stain had built a pretty cool area, and this game was on a giant classic arcade cabinet.
I really enjoyed this trailer! Seems like a good shooter
Looks superb, good humour too!
Thats one class trailer. You just know the games going to be hard as hell tho 😂
Some of those lines are class. “He was a man since he was a boy.” “Making an unhealthy living from making living unhealthy”. Love it. If this has online co-op with friends I’m in and gotta convince a friend to bust through something retro goodness with me.
This looks brilliant, definitely going on my wishlist.
That trailer was awesome.
Looks great
This game looks like everything I want and more. May 12th can’t come soon enough.
Looks hilariously 80s. Sold.
I’m a bit overflowing in games atm due to some recent sales but I may need to make some more space for this one. Looks like it will be a lot of fun to play through (bit of a Duke Nukem vibe) will wait for reviews
God I love the 80’s.
I wish this were a real movie.
Odds are the game won’t be so hot though.... unfortunately...
Best game of the year so far, without any doubt. Absolutely gorgeous.
@TimboSlice Oh yeah, why??/ I think it's going to be amazing. I've been following its production for about three years now.
Saw the trailer for this yesterday on the eshop. I’m about 95% sold. All I need is a couple good reviews and I’ll do it. I like what it’s going for
Looks gorgeous¬!!
I am definitely sold, this looks awesome.
This looks the dogs proverbials, I love anything 80's so the opposite of Duncan Guillotine I'm in!
Yep. Looks real good and will likely get my money.
Loving the look of this! May is getting expensive- this, lonely mountains, ion fury, void bastards, the persistence.... aaahhhh
Wicked trailer never heard of this but looks well Jackson! I need this x hope there is an easy mode for me x
It looks good. I am looking forward to this one
FINALLY!!! Now we just need a Switch release date for THE TAKEDOWN and TREASURENAUTS and I will be a happy man...
Day one purchase indeed, any game that reminds me of Contra and Metal Slug will get a buy from me.
@Rpg-lover game of the year potential for me!
@Dragonslacker1 'Well jackson' nice!
@YANDMAN Absolutely.. i have been looking for something like that to play for a very long time..
Holy cow finally! Always thought the trailer looked nice...back in 2017! Lol
This and Treachery in Beatdown City are very entertaining looking games. Looking forward to both.
Can anyone tell me if it has **Online** Coop? Thank you in advance! Game looks awesome.
Looks very cool.
