Neo Harbor Rescue Squad announced for Switch
BancyCo has announced that Neo Harbor Rescue Squad, its frantic parademic game, is coming to Nintendo Switch early next year (Laundry Bear Games is co-developing this version).
Inspired by real paramedics in Hong Kong and the Trauma Team series, this game will have you respond to emergencies, triage patients, give first aid, and more.
Here’s a trailer showing what the game is about:
And here’s some details:
This arcade-style action title fuses the mechanics of popular medical-themed games from the Wii and DS era with fast-paced, challenging minigames, making it a perfect fit for Nintendo’s Switch™ family of consoles. Players will be gripping their Joy-Con™ Controllers for dear life as they manage complex scenes and triage patients throughout the game’s beautifully-illustrated locales.
The Rescue Squad has long lived in the shadow of Neo Harbor City’s prestigious Fire Department, but no more! As the team’s new paramedic rookie, players must respond to emergencies throughout the city, deal with difficult patients, and protect the squad’s reputation against the machinations of news reporter Betty Woo!
Players will use a bold, frantic triage system to juggle multiple waves of patients on each call, capturing the urgency, unpredictability, and critical decision-making required of the job in an accessible way. They’ll manage several scenes at once and employ special shields to buy time to strategize, all while the clock is ticking.
Players will also have to master over 50 intense (and sometimes hilarious) treatment minigames to stabilize those patients and keep them from going critical — from performing CPR, stopping nosebleeds, wrapping bandages, using a defibrillator, and so much more!
The game takes real stories of emergency personnel, as told to the team, and spins them into an over-the-top, dramatic tale of teamwork and rivalry. Co-Founder Nancy Yeung took major inspiration from her hometown of Hong Kong for Neo Harbor City’s vibrant locales — including dim sum shops, night markets, and even an amusement park during a typhoon.
Players will make impactful choices throughout the city’s gorgeous visual novel scenes, which feature animated characters, expressive voices, and (of course) a smarmy talking dolphin!
Neo Harbor Rescue Squad (Switch – eShop) does not have a release date yet, but is slated for an early 2026 release in Europe and North America.
