<p>At Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase in March, publisher Merge Games revealed the indie brawler, <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/bounty_battle">Bounty Battle</a></strong>.</p>
<p>The Dark Scree- developed multiplayer brawler, is inspired by games like <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_smash_bros_ultimate">Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a></strong> but replaces all of the famous industry mascots with indie icons. The game was scheduled to arrive on the Switch next week, but will now experience a “slight” delay.</p>
<p>Here’s the reason behind this decision, courtesy of the official press release:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We’re sorry to say that we’ve had to make the unfortunate decision to delay the launch of our upcoming All-Star Indie Fighter, Bounty Battle.</p>
<p>Our goal to provide an amazing couch co-op experience to our community is within reach, but we felt that we still had significant improvements to make that we simply could not achieve without a slight delay.</p>
<p>Our community’s experience is of utmost importance to us, so keeping that in mind we decided that we needed more time to deliver Bounty Battle as intended and intact.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>This means that Bounty Battle will no longer release on the 23rd July as previously announced. We will update the community as soon as we have a new release date to share with everyone!</p>
<p>We would like to take the time to thank you all for your patience and understanding in this matter.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As noted, Merge will update the community as soon as it sorts out a new release date for Bounty Battle. The physical release of this game in North America has also reportedly been cancelled (thanks, <a class="external" href="https://gonintendo.com/stories/365118-bounty-battle-delayed-to-an-unspecified-date">GoNintendo</a>).</p>
