1Button has been the developer behind some fun mobile games, including the popular Mr. Jump (Free) which released on Android recently. The studio has mostly done various puzzlers, but considering how well the platformer genre treats them, Nekosan is a perfect followup. They’re going for a different structure and vibe than Mr. Jump, as levels take place on a single screen in portrait mode. Also, your adorable cat can wall jump to change direction, though he will still be running around automatically. Not only will the levels promise plenty of challenge, but there will be fish to collect that are tough to get, but will unlock additional characters that aren’t just cats!
Nekosan will be “free with a few ads and a few optional IAPs" and is expected to release on November 3rd. But if you want to help beta test the app ahead of release, check out details in the game’s forum thread.
Exciting! Please be 720p screen (ideally 1080p) and battery life is 5 hours or more and we are golden.
The portable screen is 720p but we dont yet know about battery life. That could make or break the system.
What about data plans? Would using the switch away from wifi need to consume data?
It's extremely unlikely that the Switch will have a cellular modem in it.
I'm curious if the Switch will have a CD drive for backward compatibility with GameCube/Wii/Wii U?
It has a cartridge slot. Nintendo has confirmed that it's not backwards compatible with Wii U or 3DS.
Cant wait, its defo not going to have any backward compatibility, it be great but they were pretty clear on this is a new thing as not to replace wii or 3ds.
I have waited forever for a full fledged console experience on the go!
There's only two unreleased Wii U games we know about, one of which is confirmed for the Switch. It's definitely replacing the Wii U.
Thats not what nintendo themselves said....but i guess we all know that will end up happening
So can this be played solely as a mobile handheld? That would be amazing if i never need to out it in a tv as i prefer handhelds, hope it has the the exact features on the move?!
