World Tour, Galaxy Tour, and Time Rider are now available on Nintendo Switch for the very first time, featuring a staggering 295 courses! Tour the world, travel through space, and go back in time all on your crazy bike!
Tons of content: Try to clear all 295 stages! Visit major cities around the globe in the World Tour, the stars and planets of the Milky Way in the Galaxy Tour, and time periods inhabited by dinosaurs, pirates, and samurai in Time Rider!
40 different bike collectibles! The more you play, the more bikes you’ll unlock! Each one shares a common trait: they’re absolutely absurd. Tired of the same old bike? Then try jumping over obstacles with a pizza or cup of coffee on your head! Collect them all to show everyone just how crazy of a rider you are!
When the going gets tough, the tough use resurrection capsules! As you get further into the game, the difficulty will grow more and more demanding, but don’t raise the white flag just yet! There are several bikes with resurrection capsules, which allow you to retry from a previous point in the course, hopefully far from danger! Use them wisely to overcome whatever may lie ahead!
Compete with friends for the best score in Grand Prix mode! Challenge other players from your country using the account linked to your Nintendo Network ID. Use your favorite bikes from your collection to seize the high score and show everyone who’s boss!

Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles pays homage to the classic Resident Evil trilogy while adding a smidge of Silent Hill to the mix. The result is a unique single-player experience featuring bone-crushing difficulty, limited saves via consumable floppy disks, and panic-inducing encounters NOT for the faint of heart.
Featuring fixed camera angles – a staple of the survivor horror genre since Alone in the Dark – Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles is the most atmospheric title in the Outbreak series – taking players from a well-lit, stately manor (creepy in its own right!) to a nightmarish environment far below ground.
- Fixed camera angles harken back to the early days of survival horror games.
- Dedicated Story Mode follows Lydia as she becomes separated from her group.
- Limited inventory space, beautiful environments, and horrifying monsters!
- Fight through countless rooms in an action-packed Battle Mode – inspired by Resident Evil: Code Veronica.
- Search rooms, read logs, find keys, and solve puzzles to survive.
- Engage threats directly or run away to safety.
- Save games using (in-game) floppy disks!
- Choose from several firearms and melee weapons.
- Multiple difficulty settings – Easy, Normal, Biohazard, and a “one-hit-kill” Nightmare setting for the truly insane.
- No Internet connection required.
- Supports Switch Pro Controller, Joy-Cons in tabletop mode, and HD Rumble.
