Face off against enemies, cut through their ranks, and fight back in a last-ditch attempt to stop a planetary invasion. When the starship Pandora is shot down, James Hawkins finds himself trapped inside a military prototype Battle Frame armor as he hurtles towards Medusa-42. As the Raknos hordes ravage the planet and leave every human mining colony in ruins, James doesn’t have long to discover how to operate the Battle Frame if he wants to survive his dangerous surroundings and find his missing father. But James isn’t alone on his quest – an unexpected ally hides inside his Battle Frame… ## [](#features)Features - Choose your playstyle: Engage in melee combat, shoot at will, launch missiles at enemies, or use special Battle Suit powers to survive showdowns. - Fiercely terminate your opponents with brutal moves. - Evolve your Battle Frame with new powers and expand your skill tree. - Use the Battle Frame Drone to expand your fighting and exploring capabilities in the single-player campaign. - Local Coop Mode: the Battle Frame and its Drone can be controlled by two players. ### Release info - Blackwind Release date 2022-01-20 00:00:00 Publisher Blowfish Studios Demo available DLC available Max players 2 Age rating 16 NS Online support Game code HACPAXMLA Cloud Saves support Voice Chat support HD Rumble support Languages japanese, english, spanish, french, german, italian, chinese Genres action, adventure, arcade, shooter ### Nintendo eShop - Blackwind [EUR 24.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/NL/nl/titles/70010000028576/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 24.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/BE/nl/titles/70010000028576/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 24.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/DE/de/titles/70010000028576/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 24.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/FR/fr/titles/70010000028576/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [GBP 19.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/GB/en/titles/70010000028576/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [USD 24.99](https://www.nintendo.com/US/store/products/blackwind-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) N/A [CAD 27.99](https://www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/products/blackwind-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 24.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/IT/it/titles/70010000028576/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [MXN 249.99](https://www.nintendo.com/es-mx/store/products/blackwind-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 24.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/PT/pt/titles/70010000028576/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [21,24 €](https://ec.nintendo.com/SK/sk/titles/70010000028576/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 24.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/ES/es/titles/70010000028576/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) N/A [BRL 56.99](https://www.nintendo.com/pt-br/store/products/blackwind-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Show me all prices!
