Okay, so here’s the deal. There’s this game coming out called “Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo.” Do you smell that? It’s nostalgia mixed with adventure. Anyway, it’s dropping on the Nintendo Switch, and I’m like, finally, right? PM Studios and Pocket Trap are behind this one. Release date? Mark your calendars for May 28, 2025. Why so far away, dear universe?
Imagine this: You’re Pippit, a yoyo wizard in a world claiming the title of “Yoyovania.” Ever tried to master a yoyo? I did once—endless tangles and bruises. But here, in this 2D mind-bending platformer, you unravel a plot involving your aunt’s business empire. Totally random, I know, but stay with me. There’s this crazy soul-stealing mega-laser, if you can believe it, and four mean crime bosses (like, classic).
You pick up these yoyo tricks that supposedly turn your brain upside down regarding how you see the city. Guess they think we need more than just swinging a piece of plastic on a string. Chaining moves to find secret spots? Well, consider me intrigued (skeptical but intrigued).
Now let’s talk features. They’re shouting about exploring four districts, and get this—over a thousand screens. Can you even visualize that? I kinda can. Maybe. You sneak into these bosses’ biz ops (imagine stealthy yoyo missions), navigating through their towering, twist-and-turn buildings—hopefully without getting dizzy.
Oh, and yoyo parkour routes. Stuff I didn’t even know I needed until this very moment. You’ve got to teach those mob minions a lesson in style, right? Somehow, you’re collecting 40-plus badges that change how you play. Plus, 20 upgrades from some sketchy loan shark (because of course).
And treasure hunting! Over 80 collectibles. It’s like, every gamer’s hoarders’ fantasy, honestly. Anyway—wait, side thought, do yoyo parks really exist outside games? Food for thought.
Circle back to the point though, if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, you’re missing out. Video at the end, but hey, do what you want. I mean, who am I to tell you how to spend your time? Madness and yoyo chaos await. Just me or getting sidetracked has never looked so entertaining? Anyway, that’s all I got. What do you think?
