E3 2018 - Killer Queen Black brings the arcade to Nintendo Switch

Killer Queen is bringing its buzzworthy arcade antics to Nintendo Switch next year. Killer Queen Black was announced at today’s E3 Nintendo Direct, a Switch version of the modern-day arcade classic that will feature four-vs-four local multiplayer play.

The original Killer Queen launched a few years ago as an arcade cabinet. The game’s unique design allowed teams of five players, one team on each side of the cabinet, to play against each other in intense strategic platforming competitive play. The game served up some excellent old-school 2D fun while giving the arcade genre a modern twist. The Switch version, Killer Queen Black, has been redesigned to be played at home, however. According to developer BumbleBear, you can expect to play Killer Queen Black Winter 2019.
