You might recall how WayForward - best known for the Shantae series - announced a new action title exclusively for the Nintendo Switch last August. It's called Vitamin Connection and allows up to two players to enter a microscopic world as Vita-Boy and Mina-Girl, as they guide a minuscule Capsule Ship into battle against evil bacteria living within organisms.
WayForward has now shared its very first trailer of the game, and it introduces us to the Sable family and their pet dog. Of course, it's your job to protect this family and keep them as healthy as possible. There are even some "wacky and wild" sub-games to enjoy on the side.
Vitamin Connection will be available for physical pre-order from Limited Run Games next week on 17th January (see above) and the game will be available to download from the Switch eShop on 20th February. For more details about this upcoming release, be sure to check out our previous post.

That doesn't look too bad, no way I'm playing it solo though.
Save the Sables, their dog... And the world? This is going to get crazy, won't it? Awesome.
It looks good but the offerings is slim compared to previous LRG offerings.
fun fact:I read this as "Vietnamese" Connection for some reason
Now I just want Kuru Kuru Kururin on Switch
reminds me of Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime
Looks fun, gives the impression there's quite at lot of motion controls in there. Sign me up.
Wow, what did I just see? That music, those graphics... Lol
Looks fun to play with a friend though!
Looks instantly forgettable.
I expected it to be something like Dr Mario but it looks much more interesting and original. I just hope the single player mode is good.
That music is great. I could listen to that for a long while.
@NinChocolate I would really love Kuru Kuru Kururin on Switch. The poor game seems to have been abandoned.
Looks nice. As a Wayforward fan, January 17th is going to be expensive, oh well!
Lovely "western cartoon" animation
The game looks fun too
Look interesting and fun.
@NinChocolate An HD remake of the Gamecube title would be great.
Whatever happened to Shantae 5? Wasn't that due out in December?
Looks fun! Especially if you have a partner for couch co-op!
Hmmm...looks a lot like Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime to me, probably because I have not played Kuru Kuru Kururin. Not quite sold on the game by the trailer, and definitely not by its music.
The return of Kuru kuru kururin.

It's currently available on Apple's new service. I think they stepped in and requested exclusivity, so Wayforward split the game up in to two halves (the first is free, I think), and the second part has recently been released.
I'd been following their twitter, (you'll have to sift through all the fan-art they keep retweeting) and all they have to say to questions about the Switch version is pretty much "more news at a later date."
We probably won't have to wait too long for news on it - the next direct could be a suitable time for them to share this vital information.
Looks great, I just want to control the ship with motion controls. As long as that's in, I'll buy it when it hits the eShop.
Looks cute! I see a heritage from quite a few quirky classics in there. :3
