<p>When you mention <strong>Spelunker</strong> to someone they likely think you mean <strong>Spelunkey</strong> and got confused, but Square Enix has released its underground puzzle platform game in various guises in the past. In April it released <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/02/video_new_nintendo_switch_footage_of_minna_de_wai_wai_spelunker_shown_off">Minna de Wai Wai! Spelunker at retail in Japan</a>; now it’s being localised to the West.</p>
<p>In the West it’ll be called <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/spelunker_party">Spelunker Party!</a></strong>, riffing on the puzzle platformer’s emphasis on co-op play – which was both online and offline in Japan. It’s been confirmed for the Switch eShop and Steam with a new trailer, giving a release date of 19th October. [Update: The UK eShop shows that it’ll cost £24.99 in the country]</p>
