‘System Shock’ Remake Finally Available Now on the Nintendo Switch, Switch 2 [Trailer]
It was a long time coming, but Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 fans can finally get their hands on Nightdive Studio’s acclaimed System Shock remake. Previously released to PC back in 2023 and PlayStation and Xbox last year, Nintendo gamers can experience the modernized version of this iconic title and own the complete System Shock duology on their Nintendo Switch consoles.
Switch owners can expect a range of features exclusive to the console, including gyro aiming and various community-requested enhancements. Nintendo Switch 2 players can additionally enjoy Joy-Con 2 mouse support, and up to 1440p at 60fps when docked and 1080p at 60fps when handheld.
“To achieve Nightdive’s performance and fidelity targets on Nintendo Switch, we retained deferred rendering to keep our dynamic lighting intact, which is a massive challenge on Nintendo Switch hardware,” said Justin Khan, producer at Nightdive Studios. “We are incredibly proud of the results we’ve delivered and hope the fans feel we’ve earned a spot among other ‘Impossible Ports’ like DOOM 2016, Wolfenstein, and The Witcher 3 on the platform. Nintendo Switch 2 owners will also be very pleased and have an even better experience thanks to high resolution and FPS when docked and in handheld mode.”
The System Shock remake combines the gameplay of the iconic original game with all-new HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and all-new sounds and music. The remake includes never-before-seen enemies, quality-of-life gameplay tweaks, a revamped hacking system, and visceral new combat options, including a brutal dismemberment system.
System Shock is available now for $39.99 on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 with cross-buy support for both platforms. You can also pick up the remake on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and the Humble Store, as well as PlayStation 4 and 5, and the Xbox One and Series.
During the Future Games Show, Bandai Namco and Supermassive have announced the first DLC for Little Nightmares III in “The Backstage”. Featuring new puzzles and challenges, this additional content will take players to the darkest part of the Carnevale, where they’ll meet a new character and face new perils. You won’t have to wait long to get it, either, as Little Nightmares III – The Backstage DLC will release on June 12.
In this new adventure, Low will meet Dime, a new child who wears a torch hat, which turns out to be a very helpful tool for finding their way in what lies beneath the curtains of The Carnevale. The two children will have to face new threats and use their light to find a way to save Alone from the hands of the Puppeteer.
In the original game, players meet Low and Alone, who are trapped within the Spiral, a cluster of disturbing places. The two will have to work together to survive in a dangerous world full of delusions. As they scamper and shelter on their journey to escape the grasp of an even greater threat, their senses may also lead them astray into the shadows.
Little Nightmares III is currently available for PC via Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
