ElecHead has you play as Elec, a small robot on a mission to bring light back to the world. When Elec touches walls, floors, platforms, switches, and more, he makes electricity run through them, activating them. He can also detach and throw his head to trigger things remotely, but be careful: if he doesn’t get his head back within ten seconds, he will shut down. Elec will have to use his head, literally and figuratively, to find a way out of this trap-ridden facility. ## [](#key-features)Key features: - Simple and intuitive controls - There’s a limited amount of gimmicks, but it’s up to the player to find the different ways to use them to solve puzzles in the different levels - Minimalist graphics with a retro-feel that lets the player focus on the game mechanics - Playtime: 2-3 hours, even busy people can play (Hidden rooms or secrets to discover) - No in-game text or tutorial: can be played by anyone around the globe, intuitive gameplay ### Release info - ElecHead Release date 2022-06-23 00:00:00 Publisher NamaTakahashi Demo available DLC available Max players 1 Age rating 3 NS Online support Cloud Saves support Voice Chat support HD Rumble support Languages japanese, english, spanish, french, german, italian, dutch, portuguese, russian, korean, chinese Genres action, puzzle, platformer ### Nintendo eShop - ElecHead [EUR 8.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/NL/nl/titles/70010000051125/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 8.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/BE/nl/titles/70010000051125/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 8.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/DE/de/titles/70010000051125/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 8.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/FR/fr/titles/70010000051125/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [GBP 7.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/GB/en/titles/70010000051125/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [USD 9.99](https://www.nintendo.com/US/store/products/elechead-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [CAD 11.49](https://www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/products/elechead-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 8.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/IT/it/titles/70010000051125/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [MXN 113.99](https://www.nintendo.com/es-mx/store/products/elechead-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 8.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/PT/pt/titles/70010000051125/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 8.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/ES/es/titles/70010000051125/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [ARS 129.99](https://www.nintendo.com/es-ar/store/products/elechead-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [BRL 20.69](https://www.nintendo.com/pt-br/store/products/elechead-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [CLP 4400.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-cl/store/products/elechead-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [COP 18500.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-co/store/products/elechead-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [PEN 22.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-pe/store/products/elechead-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) Show me all prices!
