Overview
- Nintendo made the demo available on Tuesday, June 9, through the Nintendo eShop and the download contains a tutorial plus one opening level.
- The demo and the full remake are exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 and the complete game remains scheduled to launch on June 25, 2026.
- Early hands-on coverage and previews say the remake features major visual overhauls and rewritten dialogue that change the original’s tone.
- Nintendo highlighted new Switch 2-specific systems in previews, including mouse-style aiming, shared local co-op (GameShare), and 4v4 Battle Mode multiplayer.
- The demo’s short format limits what players can test and community interest focuses on which opening stage is included, while Nintendo’s same-day demo release aims to drive preorders and shape early reception.
