‘Night Trap’ Headed to the Switch This Summer! Seriously.

Published

Oh what a difference 26 years makes. Upon its release, Night Trap was the subject of much controversy. As most older gamers know, Night Trap caught the ire of the United States Senate when the game hit store shelve in 1992, and the Senate summoned both Nintendo and Sega of America reps to a committee hearing to discuss violence in videogames. At the hearing, executive vice president of Nintendo of America Howard Lincoln quipped that the game would never appear on a Nintendo console.

Well this summer, Night Trap in indeed heading to a Nintendo console (the Nintendo Switch, to be exact), courtesy of the folks at Limited Run Games, who had put out a limited quantity of the game for the PlayStation 4 and XBox One last year. Night Trap will be available both in physical and digital form, with the former being given a similar run as the earlier consoles. No word yet on just how many physical copies will be available.

“Never say never”, indeed.

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
