And yesterday&#8217;s eShop release was the first time we&#8217;d heard anything about the Switch version since then. It&#8217;s just <strong>$9.99<\/strong> in the US on both consoles \u2014 or <strong>\u00a38.99<\/strong> on Switch 2 in the UK (<strong>\u00a37.99<\/strong> on Switch 1).<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard of Content Warning even before last year&#8217;s announcement; it was a huge viral horror hit when it came to Steam in 2024, and is all about making spooky films with your friends in an attempt to get popular online.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a co-op experience where things can get chaotic very quickly as you explore the underground ancient world called &#8216;The Old World&#8217;. You can film monsters and strange events while attempting to make money and hit a high enough view count to make even better videos in the process.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Images: Landfall Publishing<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>On the other end of the spectrum, here&#8217;s something we didn&#8217;t see coming: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/haste\">Haste<\/a>, a high-speed running game that&#8217;s got a little bit of Sonic DNA, is out now on Switch 2. Except instead of going fast for the sake of it, you&#8217;re trying to outrun the end of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Each stage is procedurally generated, and your goal is to speed and trick your way through every level as your environment changes around you. You&#8217;ll need to build your character, Zoe, to match each challenge and tackle four different bosses.<\/p>\n<p>It completely embraces the &#8220;just one more run&#8221; ethos of the roguelike genre. It came to steam in 2025, and the console release is brand new for 2026. It&#8217;ll set you back just <strong>$19.99 \/ \u00a315.99<\/strong> (or your regional equivalent) on the <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/en-gb\/Games\/Nintendo-Switch-2-games\/Haste-3064397.html\">eShop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Images: Landfall Publishing<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s two nice surprises arriving on April Fool&#8217;s day.
