The number of critically acclaimed download games heading to Switch has increased by one today, with confirmation that Asteroid Base is bringing Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime to the Switch eShop. It'll arrive soon, too, confirmed for 3rd October - it'll cost $14.99 in the US.
It's a colourful title in which up to four players frantically rush around a spaceship to control various weapons and systems in order to hold off enemy attacks. Perhaps best in co-op, you can also play solo with AI companions helping you out.

This has been a popular game on other systems and the concept seems like a rather good fit for the Switch. Let us know whether you're falling for this one in the comments.

Was it a hit? I remember hearing about it once but that's it.
Still, can never have enough coop games.
Heard of it and saw it here and there on YouTube. Looked kinda hectic and that's with two players.
This is a great game. Perfect for Switch.
Only negative is the name as when you say 'wanna play Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime ' you get some funny looks.
Meh.
It's one of the best coop game I know, I'm so happy for this!
Played this on PS4 with my bro. Quite a riot and very polished too. It can be challenging as well. I heartily recommend it.
I'm really loving the glut of co-op games the Switch is getting.
The problem with being a Nintendo fan in the UK is that the problability of an arbitrary friend also being an avid Nintendo gamer is generally quite low (also, note to self: don't make a habit of referring to friends as "arbitrary").
As much as I love Smash Bros (and I do love Smash Bros), there are only so many times you can ask, "Hey, d'you wanna come round my house so I beat you senseless on Final Destination again?" before the answer becomes, "no".
Co-op titles can be fantastic for opening up games to almost anybody, and it's gratifying to share my Switch love without having to track down other members of a similarly nerdy clique.
This game looks fantastic. Although... the difficulty level might everything I've just written irrelevant. Still, Snipperclips Plus is on the horizon! Hooray! That game is almost as fun to fail at as it is to succeed, so you really can't go wrong.
And the people cried out, for it had been so.
Great news!
So many game new game announcements. It's like the Wii U never existed. Nintendo totally turned it around with the switch
@SLIGEACH_EIRE So many new game announcements. It's like the Wii U never existed. Nintendo totally turned it around with the switch
3 new games announced just today. We ain't in Wii U-ville any more, Toto.
Looks cool.
Wasn't interested in this but then PS Plus gave it away for the ps4 so gave it a try...an absolute blast couch co-op!Perfect for the switch.
I got this one free on Xbox a while ago and have had a blast with it in co-op with my girlfriend. Depending on price, I might wait for a sale to get it on Switch. Very happy it's coming though.
Looks pretty neat. Not sure if I'd ever get around to playing it as I've got a few co-op games building up with limited opportunity to play them. Another one for the watch list though.
It's a fun co-op game. Pretty boring in single-player, though.
Great game! Nice addition to the Switch Library.
My brethren. We're going back to space!
@frogopus Meh. Meh. Meh. You have your opinion and I have mine.
Another QUALITY indie title! Love this game so much. Such a blast to play with friends, I can't wait to get the Switch version!
Also loving these 2-weeks-before-launch announcements. Beats the heck out of the Wii U era's 4 year waits turned into cancellations, amirite?
Got it free on Ps4. Like it a lot. I recommended it.
No certain purchase after I just finished the game with my friend, but yeah, we found it really fun. And really challenging further on which leads to a lot of running in the game, shouting IRL and making and altering strategies on the fly. Crazy and very memorable stuff.
I said something about this game coming to Switch when the system launched. I'm glad my influence was absorbed through the ethers. Lol
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Me also have my opinion.
Your comment was MEH just now !
DO NOT BUY unless you intend to play co-op--it really doesn't work solo.
Good coop. Luckily was a free in the PS network
Don't feed the Irish.
$7.99 tops
Looks dope and seems like a blast with a couple of friends. Will be getting.
What ! @SLIGEACH_EIRE is meh !?
