“We feel Nintendo Switch was created for gamers like us, and we are delighted to reach Switch players with the evocative experience of RiME,” said Raúl Rubio Munárriz, CEO and creative director of Tequila Works.

“We’re so grateful for the many fans who connected with Tequila Works’ creative vision for RiME, and we’re very excited to now be able to share that unique experience with the Nintendo community,” said Christian Svensson, COO at Six Foot.

RiME is rated E10+ (Everyone 10 and Up) by the ESRB and PEGI 7. It is also currently available on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC.

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
