  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
    • NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition is the Nintendo Switch version of NieR:Automata, an award-winning post-apocalyptic action RPG that has achieved deep-rooted popularity around the world. In the distant future, invaders from another world attack without warning, unleashing a new type of threat: weapons known as “machine lifeforms.” In the face of this insurmountable threat, mankind is driven from Earth and takes refuge on the Moon.

Fly smoothly from deep space to planetary surfaces, with no loading screens and no limits.
