Wait for it ...

If you are installing an NSP, seeking the v1.0.4 version is generally recommended for the best experience. The base game is fully playable without the update, but the patch smooths out a few rough edges.

Mechstermination Force is a masterclass in minimalist game design. By stripping away the fluff of traditional side-scrolling shooters, it delivers a pure, concentrated rush of boss-battling adrenaline. With its vibrant art style, incredible heavy metal soundtrack, and tough-but-fair difficulty curve, it stands as one of the finest hidden gems in the Nintendo Switch library. Whether you grab it directly from the eShop or manage it via an NSP archive, it is a mandatory playthrough for fans of classic arcade action.

There are few games where you can rocket-jump onto the face of a 200-foot mecha-dragon while your friend shoots missiles at its jet engines. Mechstermination Force is one of them. Don’t let a risky NSP search ruin that experience.
