Horrifying FMV Game Night Trap Is Arriving On The Switch eShop Next Week

I might have to pick this up, just for the legend.

If I don't purchase this, I will certainly view a YouTube walkthrough.

"Random Night Trap character for Smash!" I ordered a physical copy from Limited Run Games, so I'm waiting for that.

The price is certainly cheaper than what I was expecting, I'll give them that.

Ordered two physical copies. I don't know why I ordered the second one. Maybe I'll give it to a friend or sell it one day. I possibly could have made it in time for the limited edition, but I didn't think it was worth it. Scalpers will be making a tidy fortune from them though.

I was surprised by the large file size, being just over 6GB. If not for the physical edition, I definitely would not have bought the digital version with a file size that large.

I was gonna get this for a laugh with some friends, but that price is absurd for a cruddy old title like this. I'll snatch up classics for cheap any day, but this kind of money is reserved for actual good indie titles.

Hide the kids.

Is this, um... experience coming to the NA eShop too next week? Just curious, since the article only listed the European price.

I mean, I don’t know if I’ll even get this, but I’d certainly consider it due to its... unique history.

You guys know that it's a VCR game right?

@Silly_G give it to me and I’ll be your friend forever. I am a huge slasher/horror movie fan and to have a copy of this game would be a real fine addition to my collection.

@Medic_alert Mario Odyssey, Zelda: Breath of The Wild, etc...?

Howard Lincoln will be raging!

@Medic_alert they are quickly becoming classics in their own right... (but yeah, I want more classics in the Switch too....)

Yes will pick this up. Really wanted a hard copy but could not check out fast enough. Sold out in miniutes!

Was just listening to the Retronaughts podcast from a while back where they were joking about Night Trap coming to Switch.
And here it is.

I want games not b grade horror movies

While high-waist mid riffs are back in style, not much else about those outfits are.

As I’ve stated elsewhere, I’ve always had fun with this game from the first day it launched on Sega CD! I still have fun with it on my PS4! So now I must own it on Switch, a Nintendo system no less! I ordered the physical copy from LR but that will go straight to the vault when it arrives in September but I’ll grab the digital copy for $13.50 next week beforehand. Wow Night Trap...on a Nintendo system...and on the go too for you portable fans! ANOTHER classic game for the Switch! Crazy but good!

I picked up the physical collectors edition off Limited Run Games. Just hope it turns up soon.

Still got the PS4 version to play through whilst waiting! 😂

@ShadJV It is! For $14.99 USD, with a prerelease price of $13.49. It also includes the full prototype game Scene of the Crime, not mentioned in the article. It’s the same style of play.

Ok the game is total garbage but 10$ for a retro port is acceptable. I'm still not over World ends with you full price...

@Medic_alert Nintendo did tweet that image of Super Mario 3 a couple days ago. Just a month away from classic mario and zelda on the switch! 😁

Been looking forward to this one. Already preordered it from the eshop. The icon is sitting on my Switch ready to play.

I got the physical copy on the way. Only went standard and wish I’d gone collectors! Oh well.

@sleepinglion Might go along with your idea of a Youtube walkthrough and save 6GB of space and the buying price.

Yup. Gettin it

I'll be playing this for science lol. I believe it will be available for GameFly in October.

A October release would have been better suited for this game. That just my opinion.

I guess it being the 25th anniversary edition over rides the statute of limitations on "never" from 25 years ago. 😆

First Shaq Fu comes back from the dead, now this? Words cannot express my joy for the return of such masterpieces. I hope Plumbers Don't Wear Ties gets an HD remake next.

@KayFiOS Or Panty Raider...

Clearly, nostalgia breaks some peoples' minds. I didn't want this when it was new, and I certainly don't want it now. I suspect it comes down to how old you were when it first came out.

I watched a streamer play this all the way through a while back... it looks rather difficult and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be from a gameplay perspective... it actually works.

No no it's not so bad it's good. We tried playing it on sega cd, it's aweful in every category

I have no doubt that the Sega CD version was awful... but the remake actually seemed to work when I watched it... it took a LONG time, but the game is probably what it was intended to be at this point.

And Nintendo says Night Trap will never grace a Nintendo home console ever, oh how time has change.

Where's Howard Lincoln at?

I'll buy it when a 4K remaster is announced.

@MagicEmperor Sakurai put Dana Plato in smash!!

So bad it's just plain bad.

@HobbitGamer thanks for the info! Appreciated!

Stop the hyping please! The "game" sucks! I still regret having bought it in the early 90's

@flojomojo definitely! I never got this one but I did have Sewer Shark. Jurassic Park and Sonic were the best for the CD IMO.

@NiaBladerunner I’m holding out for 8K.

I will be getting this. I have the original 3DO version already from 1993 but look forward to some crisper video.

The fact this game never came to a Nintendo system years ago is a mystery to me....but also a mercy.

@wazlon Yeah, my interest isn't in playing at all. I remember early FMV games... not fondly. But this is a piece of gaming history and I completely understand folks might want it. Like having a B movie as one of our guilty pleasures. Mine is Masters of the Universe. HORRIBLE movie... but I enjoy it.

I have the Sega CD original - the game that created ESRB

Kinda odd since the game is very mild when it comes to content and honestly kinda bad when it comes to gameplay, but it is still a legend nonetheless.

@Magnum0ik you must mean "crispy" 😂😂

Getting for the Legend.
