Pocket Rumble Receives a Launch Trailer for the Nintendo Switch

Before Pocket Rumble makes its way to the Nintendo Switch this week, Chucklefish has released a brand-new launch trailer for the game.

If you haven't seen much of the game, it's basically a classic 2D fighter in the spirit of old arcade classics you might see from SNK or Capcom, as streamlined and beginner friendly as you can get while also offering a competitive fighting game. Check out the trailer as well as the game's complete features below!
