Red Art Games has today announced that it is bringing the 'multi-dimensional shooter' Macross: Shooting Insight to Western Switches in both physical and digital forms later this year.

The game was previously announced for Japan only (where it is set to release tomorrow, 14th March), and while today's announcement did not come with a Western release date, at least we know that it's on its way.

Shooting Insight is developed by Kaminari Games and is set in the anime's iconic sci-fi universe. In it, you will be hopping between dimensions with the help of some familiar faces and taking on waves of enemies from the comfort of your unique Valkyrie. There are even several different gameplay options depending on the level (though all of them are pretty closely linked to shooting 'em up — if you can believe it).
