Bang! Bang! Bandits – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is an upgraded version of the original Bang! Bang! Bandits rail shooter game, developed and published by Nippon Columbia. This fun, arcade-style gun shooting game brings bright pop-style visuals and simple gameplay that’s easy to pick up and enjoy for players of all ages. Players use the Joy-Con controller like a virtual handgun to aim and blast enemies, collect coins from defeated foes and obstacles, and progress through colorful stages. Movement is handled automatically, so you can focus entirely on shooting and strategy.
In the Switch 2 Edition, the game is enhanced with next-gen features like local and online multiplayer sharing, higher graphics performance, and smoother gameplay options — making it perfect for solo play or playing with friends and family.
