Making an already bright console even brighter
13AM Games has announced that their frantic platformerRunbowis coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2018. It will also make an appearance at Tokyo Game Show later this month, where attendees can give its unique color-based gameplay a whirl.
Runbowbegan as a Wii U exclusive but was eventually ported to PC and Xbox One, with a deluxe handheld version calledRunbow Pocketfollowing on the 3DS. The capabilities of the Switch make it a good platform for bringing the fun but somewhat overlooked party game to a larger audience.

Youāll be able to take advantage of the Joy-Cons by grabbing up to eight friends for local multiplayer, or play with up to nine people online. If youāre on your own, you can run through 140 single-player levels with a variety of characters and costumes.
One of the coolest features ofRunbowis that it includes a bunch of playable guest characters from some well-loved indie games. You can unlock Shantae,Shovel Knight, Commander Video from theBit.Tripseries, Lilac fromFreedom Planet, and more.
I havenāt playedRunbowyet, but chances are Iāll be picking this one up. It looks creative in both design and concept, and Chris called it a āfantastic party gameā with solo appeal as well inhis shining review.
