At EVO last year, Statera Studio lifted the lid on its new 2D pixel-themed fighter Pocket Bravery - drawing inspiration from series such as Street Fighter and King of Fighters, as well as the Neo Geo Pocket Color generation.
While there's still no concrete release date, publisher PQube has now confirmed it's "coming soon" to all consoles including the Nintendo Switch. Alongside this announcement was a new trailer for the game, which you can check out above.
When this game does arrive on Switch, players will be able to select from 12 unique characters and 20 stages from around the world. You can also utilise multiple gameplay systems (elemental, taunt and breaker systems) and participate in both local and online multiplayer. Here's a bit more about it:
"Clash head-to-head in a retro-inspired fighting game! Pick from a diverse character roster & take on opponents worldwide powered by rollback netcode or compete locally with friends. Master the art of elemental combat and unleash screen-filling ultimate attacks!"

Wonderful! A new fighting game for me to be terrible at.
Looks good. I will await the switch release.
Also can someone get a genie and wish for a new super puzzle fighter and pocket fighter from capcom?
@Erigen every journey begins with a single step.
Really digging the vibe of this. Looks like a 1V1 version of FIGHT'N RAGE. If the price is right, I'm all in!
I like the characters, but I just don't like fighters I get bored with them very easily.
@Rainbowfire There's a lot of single player modes and content in the fighting games. Just look at BLAZBLUE mainline games, Guilty Gear XX ΛCore Plus R, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r], Persona4 The ULTIMAX ULTRA SUPLEX HOLD, Phantom Breaker: Omnia...
If this game had pixel graphics – I would be interested in it. But, it's cartoon graphics. Cartoon graphics with deformed characters. And they are not chibi! Meh.
Edit: This game have pixel graphics. My mistake. I'm sorry.
I wasn't fully convinced by the aesthetic of the cover(?), but good thing there's a trailer, much prefer the in-game aesthetic and the game in general looks pretty cool and fun so I'll most likely get it (mostly if not exclusively for the single player content) when it comes to Switch!
Hmmm the attacks don't seem all that flashy imo. Could a been a winner. I'm honestly ready for another BlazBlue lol.
According to a store near me, 9/28 is the release date.
I’ll take the Scandinavian Zangief-alike! From the videos I’ve watched the grappler with the bear skin on his head looks like a lot of fun to play as. This game looks rather good, and I love the pocket fighter games. Amazon has a physical preorder for this game also.
The creators of this game gave me a chance to try it out. I even played online.
I'm a collector of fighting games and I participate a lot in tournaments.
As for the game, it's good. The gameplay and fighting rhythm is a mix of Snk vs Capcom (Neo Geo Pocket) with Breakers Collection.
Shame about those backgrounds but it's par for the course these days.
@Vyacheslav333 ...those are 100 percent pixels, lol.
@LikelySatan Huh. You're right... I'm sorry.
@Vyacheslav333 dude you're good. It's just games mang.
I actually already saw this when browsing the upcoming games on the Switch a couple of months back. I wishlisted it as I am a sucker for this kind of game even when generally deemed "average". My kinda genre. Good to read.
Looks pretty awesome, gameplay, art and all!
Since it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the article, the release date is August 31st.
