News - Nintendo Surprise Launches New Switch Game The Stretchers - xSicKxBot - 11-09-2019 Nintendo Surprise Launches New Switch Game The Stretchers <p>Surprise, surprise, Nintendo has stealth released a new Switch game from <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/little-nightmares/">Little Nightmares</a> developer Tarsier. Called <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/the-stretchers/">The Stretchers</a>, this whimsical puzzler tasks you with ferrying patients to the hospital in a race against the clock. It's published by Nintendo, and it's out right now on the Eshop.</p><div data-embed-type="video" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq45aR4CvF4" data-width="100%" data-height="100%"><iframe src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FDq45aR4CvF4%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&wmode=opaque&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DDq45aR4CvF4&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FDq45aR4CvF4%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=6efca6e5ad9640f180f14146a0bc1392&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div><p>The gameplay looks like a curious mix between <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/crazy-taxi/">Crazy Taxi</a> and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/brothers-a-tale-of-two-sons/">Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons</a>, as you control two medics in charge of scooping up "dizzy" patients on a stretcher and navigating to an ambulance so you can dump them in the back and set off, crashing through fences, walls, and into other vehicles. Let's just say they're not the safest ambulance drivers.</p><figure data-align="center" data-size="large"
