Twin Shot Deluxe gets Nintendo Switch release date, new trailer

Courtesy of Nitrome, we now have the release date for Twin Shot Deluxe. The game heads to Nintendo Switch on April 30, 2026.

This one first launched way back in 2009. The platform arcade shooter, which has players defending their homeland using bow and arrows, is now back with redone graphics, improved performance, and new content.

Further details can be found in the following overview:

The Angel Cats are back and better than ever before in this complete remaster.

Twin Shot Deluxe is an arcade platform shooter where players defend their homeland from invaders using bows and arrows. Take aim at over 200+ brand new levels set across four worlds, each with unique challenges, bosses and enemies. Play solo or team up with friends in local co-op (1-4 players) or play competitively to see who will be crowned champion.

A brand new Atlantis theme to explore, defeat additional bosses, unlock fancy headwear with special powers for extended replay, and much more… relive your childhood and take to the skies!

Twin Shot Deluxe has received a complete graphical overhaul. We have painstakingly redone every single sprite, animation, character, background and menu to elevate the art to new heights.

We could not leave the game lagging in the past at 20FPS, it has now been upgraded to an angelic 60FPS, and now with a modern 16:9 ratio, that’s 78% more Twin Shot. We even have a brand new intro animatic and ending illustrations remastered to pixel art perfection.

It’s not just the characters and enemies that have had a revamp… meet Colossus, he’s big, mean and totally climbable. Unlock the new Atlantis theme with exciting new enemies and mechanics to enjoy across its 50 stages.

Ditch the crown for new headwear and new powers… the twisted hat lets you shoot backwards, jump off enemies’ heads with the old boot or turn yourself to stone with the Medusa Headdress.
• With Tag mode, dial up the competitiveness to 11. Tag other players with an arrow and claim the prized hat for yourself… a real game of Angel Cat and Mouse!
