IGN - The high-profile 3DSWare releases continue, as hot on the heels of Nintendo's Pushmo and WayForward's Mighty Switch Force comes VVVVVV, a new eShop version of the popular PC platformer. VVVVVV first made a name for itself in 2010 thanks to its unpronounceable title, its Commodore 64-era visual design and its devilish difficulty all centered on one gameplay mechanic -- inverting gravity. Flipping a hero upside-down to walk on the ceiling had been seen before in gaming, but VVVVVV's version of inversion was brilliantly brutal.
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.
