Phil writes, “Platformers are in great abundance on the Nintendo Switch (“great abundance” might even understate the situation on the Switch), and no matter what kind you’re into, there’s plenty of competition. Of course, there is Nintendo’s stable of platformers, featuring Mario, Kirby, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong, with the latter being notable as an inspiration for the subject of this review: Stitchy in Tooki Trouble. A game developed by Polygoat, Stitchy in Tooki Trouble has some similarities to Donkey Kong Country, but only on the surface level and not as deep as the recently released Kaze and the Wind Masks (which SPC will cover when the physical release launches next month).
Regardless, when you’re a platformer on the Nintendo Switch, it becomes difficult to separate yourself from the competition, especially with how strong said competition is. While Stitchy in Tooki Trouble serves as an incredibly competent and more importantly fun 2.5D platformer, it’s hard to recommend over other, more proficient platformers on Nintendo’s hybrid console.”
