Hashire Hebereke: EX Remake Coming to Nintendo Switch — September 3, 2026 Release

Hashire Hebereke: EX, a modern remake of Sunsoft’s 1994 Super Famicom racer, is scheduled to arrive on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch on September 3, 2026. The new version is developed by CRT Games and was recently showcased in a fresh overview trailer released by Gravity Game Arise, giving players an extended look at gameplay, modes, and features. The remake preserves the original’s charm — a cast of quirky, adorable characters racing through item-filled, obstacle-packed courses — while expanding the experience with modern conveniences and additional content. The development team describes Hashire Hebereke: EX as a contemporary reimagining of the 1994 Super Famicom title that keeps the series’ whimsical tone but adds expanded multiplayer and single-player modes for today’s audiences. Key features and modes (as detailed by the developers and publisher) include: - Cast and Progression: Players select from a roster of characters, each with their own story route. Completing all opponents across 10 stages clears the game; players can retry stages as needed. - Battle Run: Local split-screen supports 2-4 players, with the first racer to the finish line declared the winner, preserving classic party-racer dynamics. - Time Attack: A single-player mode focused on shaving seconds from course times. Players can race against a ghost of their best run to chase personal records. - Engacho (Tag): A 2-4 player party mode where the player who holds the “poop” icon becomes the tagger and must catch another player to win. - Online Battle: Online support for up to 8 players, allowing either Battle Run or Pofun Battle variants in rooms that hold up to eight competitors; stages are selected at random. - Rhythm Game: A music-driven mini-game where players hit inputs as colored Pofuns cross a judgment line, with combo tracking, accuracy feedback, and a Fever Mode that triggers special effects. - High Scoreboard & Settings: Global or local score rankings are available alongside language, screen, sound, and control customizations. Visual aids such as shadow silhouettes and vibration feedback can be toggled. An overview trailer accompanies the announcement, demonstrating the remake’s visual update and multiplayer flow. Hashire Hebereke: EX will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch on September 3, 2026.
