Nintendo Switch owners who purchase, or have already purchased, NBA Playgrounds before online play is added will receive Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn for free when it's released this fall.
Developer Saber Interactive revealed the offer ahead of an impending update to the game, with more details to come about how players can acquire Shaq Fu for free.
Challenge Mode, which allows players to compete online, has already been added to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions of the arcade basketball game. Developer Saber Interactive also recently released the game's first title update on PlayStation 4 and PC, adjusting the "entire shooting system" and adding 15 new players, including Shaq. The update is expected to hit Xbox One and Switch "within days."
"We had every intention of launching online play for NBA Playgrounds on Nintendo Switch within days of release," Saber CEO Matthew Karch said. "But, despite our best efforts, it didn’t play out that way. We sincerely apologize for the delay and want to let everyone know the fix will be coming very soon."
IGN's NBA Playgrounds review said it "isn’t as deep as NBA Street or as beautifully simple as NBA Jam, but the gameplay is still well paced and the controls are still tight."
For more on Shaq Fu, check out IGN's interview with Shaq from 2015, in which he likens his original fighting game to "a bad dream you can’t forget."
