<p>Previously released on VR platforms, <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/elevator_to_the_moon_turbo_champions_edition"><strong>Elevator…to the Moon! Turbo Champion’s Edition</strong></a> is a sci-fi comedy set in an elevator that – true to its title – goes to the moon, and it arrives this March on Switch courtesy of Roccat Game Studio and Arcade Distillery.</p>
<p>This elevator belongs to the ‘President of the World’, a particularly demanding individual who wishes for you to repair the malfunctioning contraption. Of course, it’s your choice whether you listen to the Arnold Schwarzenegger-soundalike or ignore his screaming; through the course of the game he’ll give you increasingly unreasonable orders which you’re free to follow or not.</p>
<p>Here are some more details from the blurb:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You are a space cadet, rudely commanded by the President of the World to “Liberate” a Moon Elevator, evoking the wrath of the world’s most powerful AI. Will you crack under pressure trying to hold this broken Space Elevator together?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Obey! The ridiculous demands of President of the World, Doug-Slater Roccmeier, solving head scratching puzzles or…</p>
<p>Disobey! And cause hilarious havoc, or find your own sweet spot. Each way of playing has its own advantages and outcomes as you navigate through a plot with more twists and turns than a twisty-turny thing! It’s up to you, intrepid elevator person, to blaze your own altitudinal path…to the moon!</p>

<p>The Switch edition of this VR original gets some new motion-based pointer controls, and a bonus mini-game, entitled ‘Bat Batty Bats’. Ahem. It looks to be a pretty surreal ride, and we dearly hope that we’re told to <em>GET TO DA CHOPPER!</em> at some point.</p>
<p>We’re intrigued to see how this VR experience translates to the handheld – with <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/02/rumour_nintendo_could_make_its_first_vr_announcement_for_switch_this_year">whispers that Nintendo are planning moves into the VR space</a>, possibly via a low-tech <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/nintendo_labo_toy-con_01_variety_kit">Labo</a></strong> route, perhaps we’ll be seeing more VR originals coming to Switch in the not-to-distant future.</p>
<p><em>So, you’re trapped in a lift with only the President for company – what do you do? Let us know in the comments.</em></p>
