Nightdive Studios’ stunningly faithful recreation of the 1994 science-fiction action shooter / immersive sim was released to critical acclaim for PC in 2023 and consoles in 2024. Soon, Nintendo gamers will experience this classic for the very first time; the original evil rogue AI, SHODAN, will flaunt her superiority from the palms of their hands as they journey through the dark depths of Citadel Station.
The System Shock remake combines the gameplay of the original title with high-definition visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and new sounds and music. A legion of hostile and mutated creatures—created and controlled by the delightfully villainous SHODAN—await players as they make their way through Citadel Station. Players will also encounter traps, puzzles, and secrets in their pursuit of escape. A combination of stealth, cunning, and futuristic weaponry will be required to survive.
During development, Nightdive Studios worked closely with many of the original System Shock team members, including Terri Brosius, the original voice of one of gaming’s most iconic villains: SHODAN.
In the Switch 2 and Switch ports of System Shock, players can expect an array of features such as Joy-Con 2 mouse support for the Switch 2, gyro aiming, various community-request features, and 1080p 60 frames per second support on Switch 2.
Features:
- Unravel the chilling story of SHODAN’s rise and explore the mysteries of Citadel Station, piecing together the truth in this atmospheric science-fiction world.
- Face perilous traps, puzzles, and a legion of hostile and mutated creatures—created and controlled by the villainous SHODAN herself.
- Choose between a male or female-presenting Hacker protagonist.
- Improved gyro aiming and Joy-Con 2 mouse support adds gameplay versatility for both controller and mouse and keyboard players.

Brilliant remake! Glad to see Switch owners getting it as well. Fully on cart as well for Switch 2!
Full game on cart? Buying it just to vote with my wallet and to send the bean counters a message.
e-Waste game key cards are an abomination.
I don't have a Switch 2 yet and don't plan on getting one anytime soon, but I'm thinking of getting games like Cyberpunk and this now just to show support.
I’m loving all these third party Switch 2 announcements. It’s what I’ve been waiting for.

Nice. Really enjoyed this game. Will probably double dip on the Switch 2 version.
Awesome, might pick it up as the original passed me by (I was only 5 in 1994)
