80’s Overdrive on the way to Switch
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Some folks may remember 80’s Overdrive, a 2D pixel art racer that dropped on the 3DS eShop at the end of 2017. Switch was still fresh and the older portable was on its way out, so it may not have received the attention it should have. Insane Code is rectifying that by porting the game over to Nintendo’s latest console.
It’s unclear when exactly we’ll be seeing 80’s Overdrive on Switch, but it’s on track to arrive later in 2020. We have some details and a trailer from the original 3DS release below.

We’ve seen the coronavirus pandemic impact just about everything, including the gaming industry. Nintendo itself has been affected in various ways between the slowing of Switch production, sending its North American employees home for work, closing Nintendo NY, and more. Now you can add another item to the list.
At least for now, Nintendo’s North American online store is no longer accepting orders for physical products as its fulfillment centers are closed. If you do want to buy a digital game, that’s at least still an option.
