If VVVVVV has one unfortunate barrier beyond the old-school difficulty, it's the price. At $15 USD, some may balk at the two hours worth of gameplay that a single playthrough will warrant. While there's plenty to see and do after blazing through the game's core campaign, the steeper than expected asking price will probably turn some off. (But surely you've paid $60 for an eight hour game, right?)
But for the gamer who has had his or her sensibilities offended by, say Mega Man 10's "easy mode," VVVVVV is for them.
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.
