Two Tribes has announced a Nintendo Switch port for their 360-degree enabled, side-scrolling platformer shooter RIVE.
The game will launch sometime later this year for the console, while the Wii U version has been cancelled. Rive is currently available for both PC and PlayStation 4.
Here’s a rundown on the game, via its Steam page:
