You are Dave, a humble diver. By day, you explore the Great Blue Hole, solving mysteries, catching fish, upgrading your equipment and even battling some tricky bosses. At night, you frantically serve sushi to an ever-growing crowd in Bancho’s restaurant. Dave the Diver, a stunning title from developer Mintrocket was announced during the September 14 direct to be making its way to the Nintendo Switch, an announcement that is sure to please fans of the breakout indie hit.
Initially available only for PC and macOS, Dave the Diver initially released on June 28, 2023 to rave reviews. The game combined adventure, exploration, restaurant management, puzzle, combat, and even rogue-like elements as Dave struggles to both keep Bancho Sushi afloat and learn more about what lurks in the depths of the Blue Hole. (And there’s a lot down there – sharks, merpeople, and a suspicious “eco-preservation” group are just a few of the things Dave will encounter as he journeys ever deeper!)
