Daylight Basement Studio has officially announced that its action-packed bullet-hell roguelite, Rightfully, Beary Arms, is set for release on the Nintendo Switch in 2026.
The news comes as part of the studio’s ongoing commitment to bringing innovative indie experiences to the Nintendo eShop, further enriching the Switch’s diverse library of roguelite and action titles. Rightfully, Beary Arms places players in the paws of Beary, an adorable yet formidable teddy bear tasked with battling mischievous foes like the Boo Bees and Battery Boys.
Utilizing procedurally generated run cycles, the game challenges players to repeatedly overcome increasingly difficult encounters, embodying the classic roguelite loop of live, die, and repeat.
Along the way, Beary can transform quirky weapons, such as Catling Guns and FoamBalls, into powerful tools of destruction using robust modifier systems.
After every level, player-driven loot drop choices impact Beary's abilities or strengthen adversaries, ensuring no two runs are alike. Between runs, players can interact with Beary’s clever companion, Paul Stapleton, to gain strategic advice, browse a wardrobe of customizable outfits, uncover snippets of in-game lore, or enjoy a vibrant chiptune soundtrack reminiscent of retro gaming classics. Chris Bischke, co-founder of Daylight Basement Studio, highlighted the team’s dedication, stating that the game’s blend of fast-paced, lighthearted action and deep roguelite mechanics is designed to appeal both to genre enthusiasts and fans of whimsical adventure.
Bischke emphasized that community feedback played a key role in refining the game’s core features and that the studio is excited to bring Beary’s adventures to a broader console audience in 2026. Key features of Rightfully, Beary Arms include the ability to manipulate core game rules through collectible runs and calamities, transformative weapon augmentations that enable unique builds and synergies, player-driven outcome decisions for tailored rewards, and persistent progression through inspiration gained after each run.
These mechanics ensure a high level of replayability and strategic depth, hallmarks of successful modern roguelites. Rightfully, Beary Arms is scheduled for a worldwide digital launch via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch in 2026.
With its distinctive art style, charming characters, and commitment to dynamic gameplay, Daylight Basement Studio’s latest title is poised to become a standout addition to the Switch’s indie catalog.
