Update: Surgeon Simulator CPR has now been officially confirmed for Nintendo Switch. The game, which has added the 'CPR' suffix to demonstrate its new 'co-op ready' approach, is said to be "fully revived and feeling better-than-ever", bringing all of the original game content to Nintendo's platform including transplants from the A&E Edition and the Alien Autopsy mode. The game will make use of the Joy-Con's motion controls and HD Rumble, offer local co-op play, and is set to launch "this autumn".
Original Article: Could the motion-controlled fun/utter gore of Surgeon Simulator finally be making its way to Nintendo Switch? A short yet sweet trailer suggests just that, with some 'bone-shattering news' that shows the game's wobbly, player-controlled hand flicking a switch.
Of course, we got the same thing from a Diablo-style 'switch' some months back, and that turned out to be nothing more than an actual switch and some wishful thinking? Will Bossa Studios see it through? Watch this space...
Check out the trailer above. What do you make of the potential news of Surgeon Simulator on Switch? Sounds like a good fit to us...

I can do better things with my time.. For example: Finding a light switch with one finger..
I still think we getting diablo, just not until dark souls comes and goes. And it wouldn’t surprise me if fallout 3/4 or Vegas was coming too, someday. Nintendo likes the trickle method where we get lots of stuff we want, slowly, until we flooded with almost 1000 games in less then 2 years.
This is much more fun to watch than to play unfortunately.... Joy cons could be fun with this though
What we really need is a new Trauma Center/Team game.
Call me when there's a Trauma Center announcement.
The description pretty much says it all: “Let us know when it clicks”
I feel like everyone has played that by now. I had it on PC, had it on ipad, I am definitely over it.
This game is too gross for me.
I’ve not played it, but enjoyed watching ridiculous videos. I’d be happy to try it, for a good price
@G-Boy Manhunt 2 on Wii was my limit.
EDIT; I mean, I played M2, but it was up there
This type of game is meant for VR.
I played the everloving crud out of this game back when it came out on Steam. I would so double dip if it came out on Switch.
Not worth the $4 on iPad... or even the $2 when it goes on sale.
Their new vision for QoL.
Shame they had to remove the music from the BBC's Casualty series that was in the early access version.
Can't we have Trauma Centre instead?
This is one of the few games which made me laugh out loud during gameplay rather than just cut-scenes. Sure, it is dreadfully morbid, dark, irrevrent and flippant, but it is full of so many funny little touches, like the way that his watch will fall off and into the patient during every procedure. But it certainly isn't to all tastes and sensibilities.
Honestly, I'd rather see a new Trauma Center game for the Switch, preferably one with full voice acting and full-motion video cutscenes of anime quality (like the Persona 4 anime). Maybe even a tie-in Trauma Center anime as well.
The Wii U would have been an excellent fit for a new Trauma Centre given that the Gamepad could have been used both as a table for the tools and the operating table.
In any case, HD rumble could really help make such an experience all the more immersive. In fact, I can even envisage an operating table peripheral (complete with dummy patient) which can be used in tandem (perhaps optionally) with the IR camera in the right Joy-Con. Now that would be pretty amazing.
...Don't tell me I Am Bread and Getting Over It will be next. I feel bad for any Switches that end up running these games for their owners. lol
I was a surgeon once!
Everyone died on the first day because I shoved pills down their gullet.
Reading a lot into that video.
It's a good game, but I wouldn't double dip.
Wholeheartedly agree we need a new Trauma Center game! I'm really surprised we didn't get a followup on Wii U. The 2 Wii games must've bombed really hard.
Can someone just port all the trauma center/team games instead?
@dkxcalibur
Ah man, I was thinking this was Trauma Team from Altus or whatever. It wasn't until I read your comment that I realized this wasn't the game I was thinking it was
@Ryu_Niiyama Why not a new game? The Switch already has enough ports as is
Zones out
Oh, I’m sorry, sport! I was thinking about soup.
@Koolkat496 I don’t take part in the port dismay that is popular and exaggerated heavily.
The trauma center series are fantastic games that two gens later would not only be at home on the switch (due to the hybrid nature meaing it can be played in both styles of play from this series) but easily fill a genre void.
Also no different from a person that buys mario 64 for the fifth time due to vc or a collection (also ports but we are supposed to beg for those apparently ) I enjoy those games, would like to see them have greater exposure.
Also from a financial stand point a port of an existing series is used to gauge interest in a sequel/revival of a franchise which is a more realistic use of my wishing (which is all any comment asking for a game is), than saber rattling for a new entry in a series that has been dormant/dead for quite some time.
Besides a fun game is fun the year it came out, the next year or a decade later. Also a port doesn’t preclude a new entry. I never get how mutiplats have become a horrible thing when the hd twins live and breathe them. However to each their own. Either way my comment on a website has no bearing on game production anyway.
@Ryu_Niiyama I am not totally against ports, I would just rather get a new game that get a port. Also, virtual console is different than a port of a last-gen game, because most games available on virtual console are either hard to find, or outdated.
@Koolkat496 VC is merely a port service, no different from a collection release. As Trauma center isn't a last gen game and is much harder to find than a legal copy of most of the vc games... not sure what difference you are trying to point out. VC by its nature just as a collection makes the game no longer hard to find. Which is one of the points of a port. Outdated is a matter of perspective. If you mean not current gen then any previous gen port falls into that...if you mean "retro" (which is an arbitrary marketing term because who determines the age a game has to be to be considered retro?), those games tend to be more widely available on modern systems in some format than out of print games like Trauma center. So why is that acceptable for a N64 game that has been released under the VC banner but a game that you can only get on the wii or ds not? Goalposts are shifting.
However the take away is that you established that YOU personally wanted a new game...which has nothing to do with my original post at all other than we have differing view points. So to answer your original question "why not a new game?" well because aside from the reasons I responded with... because that was what I personally asked for. There is plenty room in a comment section for people to list wish fulfillment for more than one thing. You do you.
Happy to see all of this Trauma Center love in the comments!! And I agree that we need a new game/port of TC please!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Darlinfan seeing as you posted this well after any conversation I participated in, you are going to need to expound upon your question if you are expecting me to respond. I don’t know what you are asking.
just gimme a proper Trauma Center sequel!!!
@EVIL-C man, I hope that wasn't the case... Trauma Centers 1 and 2 and Trauma Team are a few of my FAVORITE Wii games
@JedRock Maybe New Blood bombed. I have no idea, just speculating. Overall, it's sad.
I thought this was horrible on iPad and I regretted my purchase. A total waste of time and a bad one at that.
? Pretty much the same as the other comments that were reminded of trauma center and made a one liner about it.
