Aksys Games has announced a western release for Bounty Sisters on Nintendo Switch, slated for Fall and confirmed to include a physical edition in addition to digital availability.
The title previously launched for Nintendo Switch in Japan in December, and the western offering will mark the game's first official release outside Japan.
Bounty Sisters is a heavily stylized, fully voiced vertical shoot 'em up that centers on three bounty-hunting sisters who pilot unique mechs.
Players manage each sister's main and sub-weapons, call for assistance from the other sisters, and deploy special techniques such as bombs to progress through stages.
The game combines traditional vertical-scrolling shooter mechanics with character-driven presentation and voice work.
Aksys described the title as a slapstick adventure featuring three bounty hunter sisters and a roster of colorful villains.
Journalistically restated, the publisher says the game blends comedic storytelling with tense shoot 'em up encounters, delivering character interactions that are fully voiced and interwoven with stage progression.
Key factual details:
- Platform: Nintendo Switch (physical and digital)
- Western release window: Fall (publisher-confirmed)
- Original release: Nintendo Switch in Japan, December (previous year)
- Genre: Vertical shoot 'em up (shmup)
- Visuals and characters: Art direction and character designs by Shuzilow.HA
- Audio: Sound and music produced by a credited team of sound creators
Gameplay features highlighted by the publisher include varied stage gimmicks, large creature encounters, and challenging boss battles at the end of stages.
The three sisters' interplay and the game's comedic tone are emphasized alongside its shoot 'em up systems.
Aksys has also released an official trailer for the western announcement, which showcases gameplay footage, character designs, and boss encounters.
With the physical edition confirmed, collectors and retail-focused players will have a boxed option when the title arrives this Fall.
For Nintendo Switch owners tracking upcoming releases, Bounty Sisters expands the platform's diverse catalogue of indie and niche shooters and provides a fully voiced, character-driven take on the vertical shmup format.
Further retail and eShop details, including a precise release date and pricing, are expected from Aksys as the Fall window approaches.
