Previously released on PC, Abyss Seeker: What Do You See Deep in the Abyss is now seeing an imminent launch on Nintendo Switch. The game is due out tomorrow, March 6.
Abyss Seeker: What Do You See Deep in the Abyss is a twin-stick survival shooter. While the Nintendo Switch version will be largely the same as the original release, the “Plasma Beam” and “Zantetsu Protocol” Grimoires have been swapped out in favor of the “Rapid Laser” and “Magic Missile” Grimoires. This is intended to help with performance.

Well before the franchise became the mainstream success that it is today, Nintendo was grappling with how to localize things for the west. Feeling that it wouldn’t be easy to sell in the west, Tilden said that the company’s advertising agency suggested doing something different by essentially turning it into a gritty baseball game. Thankfully that didn’t come to be, and Nintendo ended up with a localization that was faithful to the original Japanese version.
