This appears to be a small open world game where you need to rescue people by getting them onto an ambulance with a stretcher.
Some mustached dude keeps doing things to people. You might have to dodge lasers and whatnot.
Not entirely sure if the game can be played solo but obviously with two Joy-Con you can play co-op, with each person taking control of one of the two characters.
Looks low budget visually but it does look somewhat fun. Makes sense given the what, roughly $20, price tag.

Out now in Japan for 2,000 yen, supports EFIGS and other languages so will likely be out in the west soon as well: https://ec.nintendo.com/JP/ja/titles/70010000008110
I appreciate the idea and the fact that it is a new IP, but that design is absolutely disgusting.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out the release date lol
I'd imagine we'll see this over here soon.
A mod can update the title to add this new fact in.
Is it me, or is Nintendo less insistant on worldwide releases and announcements recently? During the brief Kimishima era, every Nintendo game was announced and released the same time worldwide. But recently, Nintendo's gone back to staggered releases, where a game could arrive months if not a year after the Japanese release.
Famicom Detective Club remakes are a recent example. It was announced for Japan only so far, with no mention of a worldwide release. Then came Brain Age, which we still don't have a North American announcement for, and even then is releasing in Japan first in December, followed by a January release for Europe. Now this, where NCL is the first to make an announcement of this strange new game, with no mention from NoA or NoE.
It just feels like Nintendo is realizing that making all their games a simutaneous, worldwide release is expensive and impractical, so it's probably cheaper to do staggered releases at least for smaller games like this.
Finally, the big Holiday game
Reminds me of this:
Why would that be surprising?
I'm like 90% sure the famicom detective remakes, games only available in japan in its original incarnation, will remain solely Japanese products. Meanwhile Brain Age is also a game that relies on a lot of development changes for a worldwide release anyways. All these small releases, meanwhile true to form every single major release has been worldwide (with the exception of newer markets like Korea and Taiwan, which get them a bit later)
