Surgeon Simulator shows off co-operative play in its gory new Switch trailer

I know, it feels like we should've gotten Surgeon Simulator on Switch sooner, but it's coming and we're glad about it. A teaser for the news dropped a few weeks back and today we've got a fantastical new trailer showing off the game in all its gory glory.

Surgeon Simulator CPR is a wacky simulator game all about smashing up rib cages and doing surgery like a real pro. Whether you're transplanting kidneys, brains, hearts, operating on aliens, and more, it's an experience you won't forget.

Your friends probably won't forget either if you've ever played co-op with them. Mine certainly haven't.

Better still, now that it's coming to Nintendo Switch you can experience the thrill of surgery solo or with a pal all over again. Whether you're playing in handheld, tabletop, or docked mode, the real joy will be playing with the Switch's Joy-Cons.

HD Rumble should make you feel utterly immersed when you're hammering away and snapping out your Joy-Cons will allow you to swap to motion control at will. If you've got a willing partner you can also tag them in at any point using local co-op mode.

There's no specific release date for it yet, but you'll be able to get your hands on it sometime this Autumn.
