Surgeon Simulator Out Today on Nintendo Switch

Jason Love

The title originally debuted on PC back in 2013 and gained a lot of attention thanks to streamers. Wacky hijinks are always good viewing. It eventually made its way to the PlayStation 4, where local co-op was patched in, then to a variety of VR platforms, and now, to the Switch. Like the PlayStation 4 version, local co-op play is supported on the Switch version so you can work together to perform delicate surgery with imprecise controls.

Clear! Surgeon Simulator Is Coming To Switch

Surgeon Simulator is currently available on both PlayStation 4 and PC, though it’s worth noting the PC version is single-player only, where it found success in sales as well as people enjoying Let’s Play videos across social media. While the release date and time frame for the upcoming Nintendo version is completely unknown, it has been confirmed that it will support a split Joy-Con configuration for co-op on the Switch, as well as motion/gyroscopic controls. You can check out the awkward and hilarious teaser trailer below.

Local Co-Op Comes to PS4 Surgeon Simulator

For those of you who are not aware, Surgeon Simulator's challenge comes from the game's control rather than direct obstacles (think Octodad: Dadliest Catch). Players assume the role of a surgeon from first-person view, controlling a single arm and hand. Each finger is controlled by a certain button and getting the right combination of appendages in the proper location can be difficult, mainly to pick up and utilize tools in an operation. Depending on your ability to control your movements, you'll more than likely damage your patients at some point and cause them to lose blood (their lifebar). If you can complete the operations without losing your patients to blood loss, then you win. Simple as that, right? With a co-op partner, not particularly.
