Press release -
Manic Mechanics brings car fixing chaos as it explodes its way onto the Nintendo Switch today!
Dundee, July 13 2023 – Chaotic co-op party game Manic Mechanics launches on Nintendo Switch today. With local and online co-op play, this is the first game to be both developed and published by 4J Studios, the team that brought the gaming phenomenon Minecraft to consoles.
Manic Mechanics is available to purchase on the Nintendo eShop here and the launch trailer can be viewed here.
In Manic Mechanics, up to four players pull on their overalls and head to the gear-obsessed Octane Isle, looking to make a name for themselves as travelling mechanics. Players challenge the Master Mechanics who rule the island to prove their crew is worthy of joining the mechanics guild.
The aim of the game is to fix as many cars (or trucks, choppers, tractors, mini-subs, UFOs...) as possible before time runs out. This may sound easy, but the faster the mechanics work, the more chaos is unleashed. Intricate mechanical processes are hindered by fuel spills, exploding tyres, short-circuiting robots, stampeding cows and even alien abductions, with hilariously chaotic consequences.
With five different neighbourhoods on Octane Isle to experience, this won’t be an easy ride. So, grab your toolbelt, round up your friends and see if you have what it takes to become Master Mechanics.

Manic Mechanics launches today for the Nintendo Switch™ and is now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Players can cause mayhem for £19.99/$24.99/€24.99.
