Alright, folks, gather ’round. So, PM Studios and Pocket Trap have finally spilled the beans about when we can get our hands on “Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo” for Nintendo Switch. Yeah, you read that right. A game about a yoyo. Honestly? I kinda dig it. I mean, who would’ve thought about “Yoyovania”? Sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon I would’ve loved. You’re diving into this 2D top-down maze as Pippit, the wannabe yoyo guru. It’s all very… interesting, to say the least.
Picture this: Auntie’s caught up in some messy biz stuff, there’s a spooky soul-sucking laser—because why not?—and four crime bosses in your way. Oh, joy. But it’s up to your shiny yoyo to set things right. Or make them worse. Depends on your skills, I guess.
Now, about those tricks. Apparently, mastering these yoyo moves is supposed to flip your world. Secret areas? Check. Crazy enemy showdowns? Double check. I mean, once upon a time, I thought yoyoing was just for showing off in the schoolyard. Shows what I know.
They threw out some buzzwords about the game’s features. You’ll wander through four, count ’em, four, city districts packed with, get this, over a thousand screens. Imagine that. My eyes hurt just thinking about it.
You’ll also crash these maze-like, boss-owned buildings, picking fights and cracking action puzzles. It sounds exhausting but kinda thrilling too. And, hey, the game’s throwing in 40-plus badges to spice up your style. I’m curious about that shady loan shark offering passive upgrades. Seems sketchy, but maybe I’m too skeptical.
All in all, there are 80-something collectibles spread around, from life boosts to shiny trinkets. It’s like an Easter egg hunt on steroids.
Mark your calendars! Pipistrello’s hitting digital shelves on May 28, 2025. Fire up the eShop, and off you go.
I’d watch the trailer if I was you, might just blow your socks off. Maybe.
