Chaotic Animal Beat-'Em-Up 'Jitsu Squad' Coming To Switch Later This Year

Feel the paw-er.

The Switch is having a good year for animal-based beat-'em-ups (Kaiju! Turtles! Uh... Girls?), and Jitsu Squad, the upcoming release from ININ Games, looks set to add to it.


Combining the classic beat-'em-up mechanics of old-school brawlers with some of the fun game modes that have defined newer releases, Jitsu Squad will see you playing as one of four pumped-up animals looking to take on a wicked sorcerer and his army of goons.


With solo or multiplayer co-op modes available, the game boasts a fast-paced style of gameplay which appears initially chaotic but promises to be accessible nonetheless. What's more, the game's shredding soundtrack comes from Johnny Gioeli — the singer behind some of Sonic the Hedgehog's classic themes, like Open Your Heart from Sonic Adventure:
