Bossa Studios has revealed the all-important release date for the upcoming Surgeon Simulator CPR on Nintendo Switch via a brand new launch trailer. Luckily, we don't have long to wait - it'll be available next week on 13th September.
As you can see above, the news was shared in the form of a highly-stylised 'training' video starring Dr. Nigel Burke - the game's slightly unprofessional protagonist. This video shows off small snippets of the gameplay you can expect to experience, as well as how the Joy-Con are used to make this edition of the game unique. Local co-op is also explored, and a healthy dose of humour makes it a pleasant watch. Make sure to check it out.
If you've missed the previous announcements, or want to know a little more, Surgeon Simulator essentially arms players with a less-than-conventional toolkit, tasking you with performing terrifying transplants in theatre, high-pressure procedures in the back of an ambulance, and even anti-gravitational operations in space which result in more chaos than life-saving. As mentioned above, the Switch's motion controls are an optional bonus for this version, and the HD Rumble aims to bring each of your tools to life.
The game should be available to pre-order directly from the Switch's eShop starting today. Priced at £9.99, Surgeon Simulator CPR will also have a 10% discount from now through to launch week.

Not sure if the game will be good but love both ads I've seen so far.
Day one! I'd never heard of this until a couple of days ago but after spotting it on the Eshop I watched some gameplay on Youtube and it looks a right laugh. It should be even more fun to play with motion controls.Can't wait to do a motion controlled alien autopsy with HD Rumble.
Amusing trailer, but the doesn't the joke, that seems to form the basis of this game, get old real quick?
Not a terrible price for it. I'm looking forward to this one, if only for a good laugh once in awhile.
this game was great on computers, I also had the touch version which was not so great tbh...
I can imagine an 'arms' way of gameplay (holding the joy con as such) would be amazing for this
hahaha that trailer alone is worth shelling out cash for
@Stargazer I lost it at the... Erotic treatment of the analogue stick lol
Pass, I hate mindless violent games.
@Medic_alert I had the same thought but I think this particular Direct was more of a first-party scene, after the indie third-party avalanche.
As for Surgeon Simulator, it does look like a laugh. Not sure how much content it has, but what's there seems amusing.
The trailer is so effing good haha
Don't let anti-matter find out about this
What a ridiculous game. It got away with a Mature 18+ rating. Is this game just for black humoured fun or is there actually a bit of gameplay?
I'm a big fan of the Trauma series on DS and Wii so I was hoping that this game would scratch that itch.
The motion controls look a bit clumsy though, like its more of a chaotic fumble than a game featuring precision surgery. I still might pick it up if it gets decent reviews.
@abe_hikura This trailer was fantastic. I honestly couldn't imagine Nintendo letting these sorts of ads play advertising their games about 10 years ago.
@JJ286 missing the point 101
I love the trailers they've been showing for this game, but I think the one downside is that it kind of assumes you are already familiar with what it is. This trailer in particular makes it seem like the game is just about ripping patients apart in a non-sensical manner when that's just a side effect that makes it humorous. (@SKTTR @JJ286)
However, much like Octodad or that one game where you have to control the track runner with your keyboard, the thing that really makes the game is trying to manage the ridiculous controls to accomplish your goals. I don't know how it will be with motion controls, but on the PC you had different keys to rotate the hands, move the arms, and grab things. It felt more like controlling a machine (like a crane) rather than a human being. So yeah, @gcunit I think the fun of trying to control your character without making a total mess of things stays funny throughout the whole thing. Granted, there aren't a massive amount of levels in the game, but with the price they've set it at (I was thinking to myself it would have to be below $15) and the added value of co-op I think it's worth playing.
@Mew I ain't missing anything the trailer is clear, is just mindless cutting and butchering ppl just cause. If you want to spend whatever amount on this be my guess. I'll keep this trash out of my Switch.
Is this like OctoDad does surgery? I'd be more into it if you had better control of what you were doing but the trailer makes you look like you're drunk.
