Kickstarter now live.
BIT.TRIP developer Choice Provisions (once known as Gaijin Games back in the day) has a Kickstarter campaign in progress to bring BIT.TRIP Rerunner to the Switch 2.

There’s a new Pokémon spin-off, for starters, followed by the return of Fatal Frame, the third Monster Hunter Stories game, and Nintendo’s capping off the month with a trip for Mario and co. to Bellabel Park.
