A Switch 2 exclusive will include a strange and questionable use of the system’s GameShare feature, allowing up to four players to share control of the same character. Tokyo Scramble, a survival puzzle game about avoiding dinosaurs in an urban setting, was announced at the February Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, and it launches next week on February 11.
Published by Binary Haze Interactive, Tokyo Scramble has players control Anne as she attempts to survive an underground labyrinth beneath Tokyo after disaster strikes. It’s populated with deadly creatures called Zino, which are really just dinosaurs. Gameplay footage shows a third-person perspective with no combat, with the action focusing on stealth and setting traps to incapacitate these stalking beasts.
But the gimmick showcased in the Direct is the option to share controls with other players through GameShare. Through wireless play, players can choose to control Anne’s movement, actions, and even the camera. Traditionally a feature reserved for multiplayer titles, incorporating GameShare for a single-player game is a highly unusual use case.
