It has been revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu that smartphone title Implosion: Never Lose Hope is coming to the Nintendo Switch eShop in Japan next month.
Developed by Rayark, the game will cost 1,111 Yen. In keeping with the simplistic controls of the smartphone original, Implosion showcases a stripped-down control system - the Y button is used for standard combo attacks, while the X button is used for heavy attacks. "ARKs" obtained during gameplay can be equipped to your mech suit, allowing you to customise how it handles.
Want some plot? Here's some plot:
Twenty years after the fall of Earth, the remnants of the Human race are once again faced with extinction. The time has come to justify our existence. A mysterious life form known as the XADA squares off against humanity's last weapon - the War-Mech series III battle suit.
Rayark boasts that the game contains "console-quality graphics, first-class voice acting and Hollywood-grade audio production", and includes "full orchestral scores masterfully mixed by Grammy Award winner and The Lord of the Rings trilogy engineer, John Kurlander." Sounds promising!
There's no word on whether or not Implosion will be released outside of Japan on Switch, but the smartphone edition is already available worldwide on the iOS App Store and Google Play, so there's a good chance.

Gotta love that gameplay.....
Daft Punk reference caught, NintendoLife.
This game actually looks fairly cool, depending on the price.
I've always been impressed with Rayark. They do a fantastic job visually even if they're primarily a mobile dev. Love their rhythm games
@KillerTan98 It was $9.99 to unlock the full game a few years back. Probably still the same price these days. I'm hoping it'll cost that on Switch. If so, I'll get it on there too since it could have benefited from physical controls but an otherwise fun game.
@Spoony_Tech Yeah, where is it?
Looking nice, may eventually check it out soon.
Sweet
I have this game on my phone it's fun ass hell
I know i wont return to earth if i get to know how to leave it. Not even to laugh at those that couldnt fly away. The boredom can make us into zombies.
Well its a nice trailer but gameplay scenes please.
Awesomeness one of my favorite titles on ios , will be amazing on Nintendo Switch.
''Humanities last stand"
Uh...what?
You know, I know we haven't seen the Spotlight yet, but a lot of smaller download titles have been announced the last couple days. Then Ubisoft announced 2 (maybe 3) more for Switch yesterday. We may not have seen a lot of headliners yet but any way you look at it, the eshop keeps getting games.
Looks interesting !
Colour me interested.
At first I thought "aw no not bloody zombies!" But then I figured if there is one way to spice that up is by putting you in control of a teched out mech with a katana rather than a grimy, bearded, flannel wearing depressive.
Only a cinamatic trailer with no gameplay why would they...... Oh I get it. Pack it in guys, it's just another match 3 puzzle game.
Online multiplayer?
@Captain_Toad @MegaVel91 @Spoony_Tech I remember this game it was praised for console like graphics on mobile devices: https://youtu.be/5QU1sExmljw
Ok...I'm totally paying full price for this!
I am still none the wiser. #SHOWMETHEGAMEPLAY
Game is awesome on tablet , and if it is a port or remake, then why not show game play unless they are increasing fidelity ten fold
Like with Gear.Club and Oceanhorn, at least we can try before we buy on Android or iOS. However the Oceanhorn trial was especially short.
Looks nice and can't wait to try it
"mechs? Cool!"
"Smartphone original..."
<immediately loses all interest
Yawn.
This is one of my favorite games on the iPhone I will be double dipping for sure.
@Ballzilla yeah that made my head hurt, too. T_T
Game looks gorgeous, but I'm getting bored of the zombie trope.
But the mech/robot trope though...that is interesting.
This was the first game I bought after I picked up my Android. Stumbled across it in the Google Play store. It's action packed and a lot of fun. The upgrade system is medal based and is pretty neat.
This looks good. I'll keep an eye out.
Pretty sure they meant Humanity's last stand.
Unless its all set at a university and the hero's are arts students.
is this first person...? if so then im for sure interested. cant go wrong with a sci-fi fps
Correct Daft Punk sub head.
@Nintendoforlife Thanks, interesting for sure. I'll keep an eye on it.
This looks fantastic.
Who's up for paying the "Nintendo premium" for a smartphone game?
My buddy showed me this game on an ad on his phone so I searched it on my tablet and found it.. Download it thinking it would be a pay to advance (since I said free at the time on Google play) style game with micro transactions or something of the sorts. So I load it up, watching the first cutscenes thinking it looks great but have yet to see much gameplay except on an inch screen on my friend's phone. My tablet had an 8 inch screen at the time and when I got to the game I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the graphics actually we're and how well the on screen controls Actually worked ( I usually don't like playing games on tablet that require it) and we very responsive. The more levels I played and completed (the whole time waiting to be asked to pay to continue) I thought to myself that this game actually has some pretty good gameplay for an over to top slash n shooter. I hooked my tablet to my HDTV and it looked just as crisp on there, I looked at my other buddy and said this game needs to be on a console for about 10 bucks or so. Then thinking nothing of it I played the game some more that day then acquired my Switch within the next couple of days, so I forgot about this title and moved on playing my new games for my Nintendo Switch only to come across this on the eShop a month or so later like wow this game looked very familiar. So I went and dug up my tablet and clicked my game folder and there it was. Haha thought that was pretty cool I had said it should come to console and it did haha well it's a pretty good game..I got some ideas for some dlc including multiplayer.. Couch multiplayer also would be awesome somehow??
