Melbourne-based indie developer Samurai Punk has revealed Screencheat: Unplugged for Nintendo Switch, a "fully remastered and revamped version" of the game which hit Steam a few years ago.
The game is a chaotic, party-style, split-screen, first-person shooter where everyone is invisible, forcing players to peek at each other's screens to cheat their way to victory. After years and years of being shouted at for looking at opponents' locations in games like GoldenEye 007, sneaky players can finally give in to the temptation of hunting down their opponents via less-than-conventional methods. Lovely!
The Switch version is said to feature plenty of improvements over the original release, as well as alterations tailored specifically for the console including:
- A graphical overhaul with more vibrant and clear visuals designed with the portable screen in mind
- New and remixed maps
- Remastered weapons
- An updated UI
- Full support for single Joy-Con, dual Joy-Con, and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller inputs
- An entirely new soundtrack introducing a fresh and mischievous medley of energetic tracks to enjoy
The game is set to launch on Switch on 29th November for $12.99 / €11.99 / £10.79, with a 25% pre-order discount being offered for a limited time.

I love the being invisible part of this forcing you to look at the other screens.
Anyone else having nostalgic flashbacks of all the arguments you had wth siblings and friends?
"I wasn't looking at your screen honest....i just happened to know you were hiding under that desk"
😂
One of the players is named Bowsette in one of the screenshots..
This should be good fun!
@Mrtoad And Bowsette rightfully came in last place.
@Mrtoad and the game's synonym for "killed" is apparently "Aeris'd". Ouch.
Interesting concept for a game, but pretty awful
These are next level graphics, right here!
@LoriLoud While simple, they are clean and well made. For the "gimmick" of this game, easy readability is WAY more important than realistic visuals.
Is online a thing in this game?
That's a cute concept.
Played the PS4 version... it's a pretty cool game. Interested in the changes for this release, and the price is pretty good too.
Good concept this got my attention
@Bevinator yes
Played this with my friend on PC, it was actually pretty fun
@MasterJay Kind of funny to see an online game that uses splitscreen.
@HeroponRiki that's how a Goldeneye port should be.
Honestly, I'm pro-screen peeking. Helps speed up the levels. Radar is cool, but it's easier to just take a peek.
@HeroponRiki yeah
@MasterJay nice thanks
Nice, though when it comes to "everyone is invisible" games I am waiting for InvisiGun.
As someone who played the game on Xbox One beforehand, I have to warn you guys that unless you're good at shooters and/or enjoy screencheating, ScreenCheat overstays its welcome very quickly, especially if you're out of people to play it with.
