Two Tribes have announced that they are bringing their PC and PS4 shooter, RIVE to Switch.
The Developer explains why the game was originally dropped for Wii U, “RIVE was bumped from Wii U to Nintendo Switch, where it’ll be playable in ultra-fast and super-challenging 60 FPS glory.
We’re developing RIVE on Nintendo Switch together with Engine Software…Two Tribes has always had a strong Nintendo tradition. Toki Tori on Game Boy Color was our debut, way back in 2001! Since then, many of our games have appeared on Nintendo platforms, including Toki Tori 2+ and RUSH. Lots of fans have let us know they’d like to play RIVE on a Nintendo system. So we can’t wait to finally bring RIVE to Nintendo Switch!
RIVE is a great fit for Nintendo Switch. It was always intended as an explosive ode to the action games of the early nineties. Nostalgic, yet thoroughly modern. And we feel that Nintendo Switch, too, is all about bringing the experience from our youth, playing deep and skill-based games together, to the current day.”
A release date is still to be set for RIVE, the PC and PS4 versions are available now.
