When people consider the games they plan to buy in March alongside their shiny new Nintendo Switch, we think Snipperclips - Cut it out, together! should be on the shortlist. Pegged as a $20 game on Nintendo's official website and likely to be an eShop release, it puts local co-op front and centre with a quirky sense of style.
Oddly, there's been little readily accessible official footage of it, with the game being announced via press release by Nintendo and then featuring in the Treehouse live stream. For those that didn't spend a number of hours watching that stream it's a title that could have easily passed them by.
A trailer of sorts is now live, thankfully, albeit it's not a brilliant video. Nevertheless, at least it shows off some of the gameplay concepts that make the game tick.
We rather fell in love with the short demo we got to play of this, as it's ideally suited for some relaxed puzzle solving with another player. In our experience gameplay is a little more chaotic, and hilarious, than in the trailer above.
Is this a game you're considering for a March download?

I love this
After Zelda, this was probably my favourite game from the presentation.
Day 1 purchase. Well done Nintendo!
That's a slightly awkward way to end a trailer.
Cool game, though.
Now I would pay 20$ for that.
Not really interested in this. And I don't see any of my friends but my mom ever like this.
Is it weird that this might be slightly more exciting to me than Zelda?
@thesilverbrick
Slightly. But it certainly is exciting. Looks very interesting and I can imagine the chaos going on between the 2 people playing it! Count me in for a purchase.
$20?! I was hesitant, assuming a $50 price tag, but it's almost a no-brainer for $20. Wonder how much content it has?
My shop websites says this is a launch title. I don't know if this is true. Also I am setsuna is a launch title according to them. Is this the same in other countries? I live in Belgium.
Its so cute but lewd in sone weird way...
For 20 bucks I love it but hopefully people outside of America dont get shafted for this one by price.
I've been excited about Snipperclips since they showed it on Treehouse. I'll be downloading it the day it's released.
There is one slight problem. You need 2 players and that's rarely possible for me. Unless it has online multiplayer then that's eliminated.
Best (almost) launch game after BotW.
@Dakt It's $19.99.
Day one for me. It's two players but the concept means you can rope anyone in to help. And it generates conversation and thinking between two players, of whom both both necessarily need to be gamers.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Or you could control both at a time, one with each joycon.
Would probably be a reason for divorce if i tried to play with my wife, way too many arguments and she would get angry.
Tried to play little big planet with her years ago, she just doesnt know what to do and gets angry.
Are they trying to kill Snipperclips? Do they have some grudge against it, just because it's astronomically better than the 1, 2, Trash that Nintendo came up with to showcase the NS tech? This trailer is the most boring and robotic production they could have possibly mustered. A real game of Snipperclips looks more like the Treehouse presentation's.
"Come over here, cut me." "I'll cut you."
Awesome game for a great price, take that, Konami! This is what i'll be playing along with the new Zelda. If you weren't too greedy, Bomberman R could be the third in a row.
Is this a digital only purchase? Or will there be retail?
@Haiassai
I believe it's eshop only at this point. Personally would love a retail version.
I really wish this wasn't multiplayer only. Not sure how they would implement single player though honestly. (I have some rough ideas but I doubt they would capture the frantic charm of this game) However I expect I will be cracking up watching let's plays.
EDIT: So um wish granted because I misheard the treehouse presentation. Hooray for single player! I'll be getting this day one now. Now if you wanted to argue for a pack in I would pick this game over 1 2 Switch.
I want this
This one is priced correctly
I feel like this game is going to ruin relationships....worse than mario kart I mean.
I'll buy this.
@GoldenGamer88 it's nice that you're friends with your mom
My brother and I had a great time with this at the London event, will definitely be getting it.
Can't wait for this one. This looks like so much fun, and completely out of left field - a great surprise.
Nice trailer.
Ah yes the toenail cutting game! Looks bloody awful.
@Ryu_Niiyama During the Treehouse event they said the game was for 1 to 4 players.
This looks fun, although I think the Treehouse live made it look a lot more appealing since you could see the fun the people playing it were having.
Why people would limit themselves from enjoying a game like this I don't know. It's clever, makes you think and experiment, and a great excuse to play with someone who might not play games as much or with someone who takes it very seriously (because that will also be funny).
I am starting to wonder how many people here even play games locally with other people. Time to start folks! Human interaction is very rewarding.
@Dizzard Huh. Would you look at that. I must have not heard that part because I could have sworn it was promoted to be 2-4 players. Well I am very happy to be wrong. This just moved to a day one purchase for me. I'll update my earlier post.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Hey I missed it as well. Apparently there is a single player mode.
From Nintendo's site:
Three different types of modes – Solve basic and advanced puzzles by yourself or with a friend in the main game. Then, work together as a team and solve up to 2-4 player dynamic puzzles or compete against each other in activities!
Definitely picking this up, the faces they make are worth it alone!
Weird no? Looks clunky and can't really tell from the trailer the objective....hmm maybe i should check out the treehouse event...🤔🤔
