Despite the emergence of solid titles during 2008, North American marketing has been tepid to non-existent, leaving Wii owners to discover the service through self-exploration and word of mouth. Even with releases like Mega Man 9 and the critical success of World of Goo, I've met many who remain in the dark regarding exactly what WiiWare is.
The service certainly merits attention, not only for (so far) avoiding the shovel-ware plaguing the Wii and DS, but also for offering access to a wider audience that may prove more willing to interact with unique and experimental releases."
Switch is quickly becoming the go-to home for indie titles, but it's also receiving a fair amount of remasters of titles from yesteryear. The latest is Swords & Soldiers, an RTS/tower defence from a decade ago. It's not Swords & Soldiers's first foray into the world of Nintendo, with the original appearing on Wii U, back in 2014, followed by a sequel a year later thanks to Kickstarter. Now the original is getting a surprise release on Nintendo hybrid platform.
Today we are going to break out the poison darts and throwing axes for a bit of friendly skull-splitting with Swords & Soldiers for the Nintendo Switch a side-scrolling Real-time strategy game from Two Tribes’ and Ronimo Games. Let's see how this stacks up against the classic ideas of an RTS.
Two Tribes and Ronimo Games have announced that Swords & Soldiers is out now on Nintendo Switch and Swords and Soldiers 2 Shawarmageddon on March 1, 2019.
