NWR: VVVVVV originally came out on computers almost two years ago, but relevancy was never the game’s focus. It’s heavily modeled after old Commodore 64 games, with appealing, simplistic graphics and a fantastic chiptune soundtrack. The 3DS version, which we can thank Cave Story 3D developer Nicalis for, is more or less the original PC game delivered in a dual-screened portable package. For owners of the original, it might not be too exciting, but if you’ve never played the game, you have no idea what you’re missing.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: " Before the 3DS’ online store joins WiiWare, DSiWare, and the PSP Store in the big farm of defunct digital stores in the sky, we’re taking a moment to put a spotlight on the best the service has to offer. These are the very best 3DS eShop games!"
To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of retro indie platformer VVVVV, developer Terry Cavanagh has released the game’s original source code to the public.
NintendoSoup:
Minimal design, maximal fun. VVVVVV was originally released as a Flash game in 2010, and since then it’s been ported to everything under the sun. I remember playing and loving the 3DS release years back. And I’m happy to report that the game is as good as ever on the Switch. In fact, this might be the best version yet.
