Welcome to the SwitchArcade Roundup for April 30th, where we're going to talk about A Robot Named Fight, and catch up on some Switch news. This might start off as a slow week, but we have Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze hitting this week, and May is chock-full of titles both on the indie side and from AAA publishers. I'm looking forward to the Mega Man Legacy Collection and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary from Capcom, plus Hyrule Warriors hits the Switch this month! With the Switch's portability, and the fact that games keep coming out, I have to focus on the Switch as my main gaming platform at this point (though I still keep an eye on mobile, of course), because I feel like I'll get lost if I don't focus on the Switch! Any of you feel the same way" Even with big titles like God of War hitting console, is the Switch still your platform of choice" Game Impressions: A Robot Named Fight!
We don't have any Metroid games on the Switch yet, but A Robot Named Fight's first console port feels all too appropriate for the Switch. This is a procedurally-generated, Metroid-inspired "pathfinder" game. You are a robot named Fight (hey, that's the title!) that seeks to destroy the Megabeast. Your goal: explore the strange new world that you've discovered, collect upgrades, and send the Megabeast to its squishy doom. The game is like a procedurally-generated Super Metroid, and it is so incredibly well-made.
