Limited Run Games, a premium publisher of digital and physical video games, announced today that the critically acclaimed, smash-hit shooter Earthion, comes to console via digital download starting today!
Already a hit amongst gamers and critics following the game’s release on Steam earlier this summer, Earthion continues to stun gamers worldwide with its jaw-dropping pixel art, breathless action and adrenaline-fueled gameplay, evoking the golden age of gaming thanks to its unmistakable 16-bit styling, rooted in the glory days of the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. Finally, console fans can experience the thrill of Earthion, with the game available for download today on Nintendo Switch.
With a current Metacritic user score of 9.0 and a flood of stellar reviews from the worlds’ gaming media, Earthion is an outer-space ode to the finest shooters of all time, a sprawling shoot em’ up saga taking place over eight diverse, uniquely themed levels, packed with non-stop, twitch-inducing action.
A graphical tour-de-force, Earthion conjures an endless parade of eye-popping tricks, defying the established limitations of its 16-bit hardware roots and dazzling genre fans everywhere. With the remarkable visuals designed by Ancient’s Makoto Wada, the pixel perfect artwork is matched only by the score, an instant classic composed by the legendary Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage, SHINOBI, ActRaiser), who delivers monumentally memorable beats, guaranteed to stick in the heads of all who play long after the credits roll!
For fans who prefer physical media, Earthion will also be available as a Game Card on Nintendo Switch, and is expected to begin shipping in late 2025. Limited Run Games will also be releasing Earthion on a physical SEGA Genesis /Mega Drive cartridge, planned for 2026!
