And it's no longer available in the eShop . I'm guessing that - in line with the publisher's post - the early release was a mistake.

But.. I'm playing it and enjoying it! Right now, it must be one of the rarest games on Switch!

I bet there are some errors in it that they want to remove and straighten out the code then they will relaunch it...

Still if you want to make cash you could offer your machine up on ebay for ridiculous money... if for any reason it doesn't release id either do that or look at hacking that switch so I can get the game off it for preservation.

It's already up on some ROM sites. Though it would be fun seeing Jawa mod his switch.

Might sound bad but im glad its already up just in case something goes amiss and its not re-released..... I wont mod my Switch till its no longer the current system but its a root I want to go down one day.

This all reminds me of the modern era Wrestlefest remake. I'm pretty sure that was still being advertised as on sale well after it was pulled from digital stores. If memory serves it was pulled almost as soon as it was released.

I wonder if anyone actually managed to buy the new Wrestlefest.

So, yeah, the publisher replied and it seems that a few gameplay tweaks are being made ahead of the (re)launch. Hopefully some of you folks will soon join me in the Happiness Parade :toot:

.

Well, there have been no more updates by the publisher and info about the game is thin on the ground.

But... gamerant.com have the release date down as being 25 May. We'll have to wait and see!

Tough to go up against Cassette Beasts. Does this mean you have one of the few copies of the game? ITK Jawa.

I'm not sure, dude - it appears that the game was only available on the eShop for a few hours. I have seen that one person who I follow on Twitter bought the game, too. I expect that it'll soon be available again and it'll hit the best-sellers chart 8-)

.

I don't think there has been any news at all on when this will be re-launched. I've just tried contacting the publisher again.

Maybe I have one of the rarest games on Switch? Perhaps people will be contacting me for more info on this now-impossible-to-buy title? Could this be my fifteen minutes of fame?

Hey!

>>> IT'S HAPPENING! <<<

From out of nowhere, Rogue Games just messaged me to say that there will be some "very good news tomorrow". I'm anticipating that this means we'll get a (re)release date for the updated game!

So, yes... GRcadians will soon be able to join me on the Happiness Parade!

I thought you weren’t buying new games :capnscotty:

Jawa has owned it since the initial release, he's been on the Happiness Parade for months.

Yes! Winckle knows the score, Milner! This was game that - back on 13 April - released in the eShop for about two hours before disappearing. I bought a copy and now it seems that an updated version is gonna arrive. Finally, more people will be able to get funky and strut their stuff... Happiness all round :toot:

It has been confirmed... the Parade will be up 'n running on 26 October :toot:

Ok what the hell is going on in here? Jawa, explain yourself :capnscotty:

Pretty sure I saw Jawa in the credits??

Guys, we're here!

I was able to download a game update (v1.03) and play it last night, ahead of the (re)launch in the eShop later today. Just before midnight, the Parade was alive and the - totally rad! - tunes were playing.

I'm wondering if anyone else might check out the game and be tempted to try it?

The Parade is back! It's on the eShop and ready to run!

...don't deny that you're not thinking about getting out there and joining in the parade, Preezy!

The odd thing is that the game - as a re-launch - isn't appearing in the New Releases section of the eShop, as the eShop thinks it released back on 13 April (well, it did for two hours or so, I guess).

I believe that a large number of GRcadians have wanted to join the Parade but perhaps found the launch price to be a deterrent. Well, roll-up roll-up, because the game is currently on sale at £4.39 on the eShop. It's your chance to shine!
