Startropics is coming to the Switch but not in the form many were hoping!

What's Star Tropics?

An obscure Nintendo IP that ranks right up there with Ice Climbers when it comes to undeserved appreciation. Both IPs have people clamouring for a reboot, but anyone who actually played the games just shakes their head. I am convinced that people who desire reboots have never actually played the old games and are merely jumping on a bandwagon because "it's cool to talk about obscure games and rally around them, unlike those popular Nintendo IPs which everyone likes."

Startropics is more or less a poor man's The Legend of Zelda in a modern setting where an average dude gets involved in crazy adventures (there were two NES games). Controls lack precision and the difficulty level is ridiculous, especially in the second game.

That's a shame. Never played the original but watched a few gameplay videos and it certainly looks interesting. Not a great lover of old school games/graphics but loved both the original pokemon and Earthbound origins on the Wii u. Either way, nothing to lose. I will still try it out on the 13th.
