NetherWorld demo

There’s a Nintendo Switch demo on the way for the narrative-focused 2D action adventure game NetherWorld, SelectaPlay and Hungry Pixel has announced.

Technically the trial is already live in Europe via the official store page. However, we’re not quite seeing it in North America yet. That could change if the Nintendo eShop updates later today.

Switch demos

Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.

Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.

Terrifier The ARTcade Game demo

A demo for Terrifier: The ARTcade Game will be available on Nintendo Switch, according to SelectaPlay and Relevo.
