Capcom today announced that the action-platformer Mega Man 11 will arrive on Nintendo Switch on October 2, 2018 for $29.99 both physically and digitally.

Video game icon Mega Man returns in celebration of his 30th anniversary in Mega Man 11, the next evolution in the longrunning 32 million unit-selling action platformer series. Led by a talented, veteran development team at Capcom, the new game features tight side-scrolling action gameplay the series is known for while completely revolutionizing the experience for modern consoles.
