NetherWorld Physical Edition Announced for Nintendo Switch by SelectaPlay

SelectaPlay has officially unveiled the physical boxed edition of NetherWorld for Nintendo Switch, now open for pre-orders.

This exclusive release includes a collector’s full-color manual titled ‘NetherWorld for Dummies,’ offering fans added value with their purchase. Developed by Hungry Pixel and published by SelectaPlay, NetherWorld is a side-scrolling action adventure game that weaves narrative depth with surreal humor and outrageous characters.

The project gained early momentum on Kickstarter, where the gaming community helped raise €10,000—twice the initial funding target—demonstrating strong grassroots support for Hungry Pixel’s vision. NetherWorld follows the misadventures of Medoo, an unlikely jellyfish protagonist left reeling after his marriage falls apart.

In the throes of heartbreak, Medoo seeks solace at the bottom of a bottle, only to find himself navigating a bizarre world populated by eccentric characters and nonsensical predicaments.

Players will steer Medoo through a narrative filled with questionable choices, dark comedy, and the hope of reclaiming something meaningful—perhaps even if it’s just a stand-out accessory. SelectaPlay’s announcement highlights several features that set NetherWorld apart on the Nintendo Switch platform: • A dark and twisted story: Medoo encounters a parade of unpredictable NPCs, from magic-wielding addicts to entrepreneurial courtesans, sadistic mob bosses, and sinister children—all contributing to the game’s outlandish atmosphere. • Immersive and irreverent minigames: The experience includes competitive drinking contests, unconventional activities, action-packed firefights, and dungeon-crawling segments starring a bionic tick known as Joe. • Chaotic boss battles: Each encounter demands quick thinking and improvisation, where unconventional weapon choices and reckless strategies are often the only way forward. The physical edition’s standout inclusion, the ‘NetherWorld for Dummies’ manual, honors classic gaming traditions and doubles as a collectible for fans and newcomers alike.

This boxed release underscores SelectaPlay’s continued commitment to publishing indie games with innovative narratives on the Nintendo Switch and through platforms like the Nintendo eShop. NetherWorld is scheduled to launch later this year, expanding Hungry Pixel’s reach and further cementing its reputation for creative, offbeat game experiences.
