Among the noteworthy features coming to Super Rush includes a brand new Story Mode where you can take control of your own custom Mii as you try to rise up the ranks, as well as the multiplayer Speed Golf mode which allows for up to four players to race one another to see who can successfully complete the course first.  

The announcement of Super Rush arrives as part of this year’s Nintendo Direct livestream event, which previews the slate of games scheduled to come out for the Switch in the coming months. A remastered version of the 2011 Wii game Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is coming out in July. Star Wars: Hunters will operate as an arena combat game, but no release date has been set. Meanwhile, Splatoon 3 was the only upcoming Switch game that is coming out next year.
