Alright, listen up, hero aficionados! Word on the street (or rather, from the Australian Nintendo eShop) is that Dispatch, the superhero workplace comedy adventure, is making its way to the Switch and Switch 2 on January 29, 2026. If you don't know, Dispatch initially landed on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam back in October 2025, and it wrapped up its first season in November. This means Nintendo players will get to experience this fun title too!

In Dispatch, you step into the shoes of Robert Robertson, also known as Mecha Man. After a brutal defeat against his nemesis that leaves his mech-suit in pieces, Robert finds himself working at a superhero dispatch center. Talk about a career change! Instead of fighting crime directly, you are now in charge of managing a team of reformed supervillains, dealing with office drama, and trying to rebuild your suit to get revenge!

What I like about Dispatch is that your choices really matter. It's not just about mashing buttons; every decision you make affects the story. From casual chats in the breakroom to crucial decisions in the field, your actions change relationships between heroes and influence the game's plot. It's a great way to keep you engaged and thinking about your decisions.

Deploying Heroes and Managing Quirks

The game also involves some strategy. You've got a map to look at emergencies and decide which heroes to send. It's a balancing act between risk and reward, since every choice has consequences for your team and the city. Managing heroes goes beyond their powers. Each one has their own quirks and issues that you'll need to handle to keep everyone working together. Upgrading skills and unlocking abilities is also important to improve their effectiveness.

Dispatch blends narrative, strategy, and humor, exploring what it truly means to be a hero. Whether you are wearing a cape or sitting behind a desk, you're making decisions that affect the lives of others. I think this game offers a fresh perspective on the superhero genre. I find it to be far more interesting than the typical action-packed superhero games that are available.

Meet the Talented Cast

Another awesome thing about Dispatch is its cast. They've got some big names from all over entertainment, including Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Laura Bailey (The Last of Us II), and even MoistCr1TiKaL and Jacksepticeye! With such a talented group of people bringing these characters to life, you know the performances are going to be top-notch.

So, if you're a fan of superhero stories, strategy games, or just looking for something new and funny, keep an eye out for Dispatch when it launches on Switch and Switch 2 in 2026! I know I'll definitely be checking it out!
