In 2018, we got quite the surprise when the Five Nights at Freddy's creator, Scott Cawthon, revealed he was bringing the original three games to the Switch eShop with the help of the French software development company, Clickteam. He followed this up with the release of the fourth game towards the end of last year.
Now, it looks like the Switch will also be receiving Five Nights at Freddy's Help Wanted later this month. A Nintendo listing, that's since been taken down, reportedly revealed it would be released on 21st May for $29.99 USD. While we can't necessarily confirm this will be the exact date and price, the developer has at least confirmed it's coming to Switch:
This particular entry brings together a collection of classic and original mini-games set in the horrifying FNAF universe and although the PC listing of Help Wanted was launched as a VR game, a headset is no longer required to play the game thanks to a recent update. Below are some screenshots from the Steam version:
Is this a game you'll be checking out later this month? Leave a comment down below.

@AxeltheBuizel I'll give the game a chance, but it is a bit past it's time, they've had their fame
...Skip the other games then...lol
@AxeltheBuizel Why wouldn't there still be people who care about FNAF? Just because something is old or isn't as popular as it used to be doesn't mean nobody still cares about it or that the creator of said thing should move on to something else.
This is the first FNAF game to use real time 3D models instead of prerendered sprites, right?
I can finally play this without spending $500! If anyone of you are fans of fnaf or want to get into the series, I highly recommend the silver eyes novel. It is so good.
Oh look- more of the same exact game spread across numerous sequels and platforms.
While the ideas and story are unique, I can’t sing the same praises for the gameplay for these titles.
This new chapter sounds interesting but I feel if you’ve played one FNAF game, you’ve played them all. I could be wrong though and that would be fine if they manage to create something new with the formula.
@mystman12 I could say the same thing about you.
(JK, Keep up the work with Baldi.)
The only things i know about the game are what's written in this article,but it sounds like it could work with Labo VR.
I have to admit this series is a guilty pleasure for me. I know jump scares are cheap. But I'm actually pretty into the mystery that plays out behind the scenes in these games.
Know virtually nothing about the game. Anyone can sum it up in 2 sentences for me?
@mystman12 You made Baldi? Haha, cool. My kids are infatuated with it. And fnaf... and they never even played a fnaf game. What is it about these games that resonates so much, that they are addicted to it without actually playing it?
@ReaperExTenebris what you’ve mentioned seems intriguing; perhaps if there’s a sale on all of the titles, I’ll take the full plunge. I’ve only played the first two games on iOS, however.
I feel like this series is really past it's prime and overdone. It was kinda interesting at first but they are just milking it.
So it doesn't REQUIRE a VR headset... but does it still SUPPORT the LABO VR set?
@JnFnRu A celebration of FNAF's history, alongside some new stuff, in VR. But now you don't need VR.
I’ll never play it but I’m so glad Fnaf exists. There really needed to be a Chuck E. Cheese horror game.
@ReaperExTenebris good to know! Danke schon!
@NatiaAdamo Exactly, haha! I don't care how many people say Baldi is dead, he's not going to be dead until I say so!
@Daniel36 I honestly don't know. I figured the game would resonate best when people my age who grew up with edutainment. I'm super glad it's resonated with so many people though!
This game isn't any more frightening than the story of its creator. Religious nut gone haywire.
So.... it's pretty frightening lol.
People still play these games? I am surprised because they were never good games.
@mystman12 Yeah, I am happy for you that it did. It still baffles me, though. Today I decided to buy FNAF 1 for my son, since he is basically full on addicted to it, though he never played it before. He booted it up and knew EXACTLY how to play it. He has seen so many videos of it on YouTube, he knew exactly what to do. He also knew the name of every character and could also list every title released so far, including spin-offs. Now, I know he is autistic so he has that going for him, but my goodness... For a game he never played before... You still working on new games?
@Daniel36 That's awesome! It's amazing how much people can learn about games just by watching others talk about and play them.
Yeah, I'm currently working on a full version of Baldi's Basics. It's actually going to release as an early access title fairly soon so things are pretty crazy right now! Currently trying to get everything ready for release.
@mystman12 I'll keep an eye out for it. My kids love Baldi. Do you need music for it? I make music.
@JayJ well when you think about it Mario uses the same formula just basically jump around and save the princess from an ugly spike turtle (I know their names but I feel like it brings some type of mood) and people still like Mario (me included) along with call of duty basically just shoot people so I hope you understand what I mean by this
@NoNoseNosferatu I thank you for admitting you might be wrong. Yes the first three games are all very similar but after that each game introduces new stories, new mechanics, and recently has had very interesting gameplay. I highly recommend fnaf sister location and fnaf 6 pizzaria sim
@JnFnRu too many Freddys and a whole lot of fun. I recommend fnaf 5 and fnaf 6 on steam
@Oppyz666 just because you don’t like dosnt mean others can’t. I’m sure you have something weird that you like( ps I like your user name
@Emmy666 I’ll look into them. 🦇
@JnFnRu you play a hapless witness to supernaturally possessed animatronics in a select location, locked in a single room. You are surrounded by surveillance cameras/monitors and locking mechanisms in attempts of avoiding them until sunrise.
Jump scare, the game to be perfectly blunt.
@NoNoseNosferatu @Emmy666 Thank you both, I will give it a try.
