Bread & Fred Hits Nintendo Switch with a Cool, Chaotic Upgrade
In a fresh drop from Nintendo’s Indie World showcase in Japan, Bread & Fred has been pegged for an electrifying debut on the Nintendo Switch come May 23, 2024. Crafted by the creative minds at SandCastles Studio and brought to us by Apogee Entertainment, this co-op platformer isn’t just your average run-and-jump gig. Having already captivated over half a million gamers, the game’s arrival on Switch promises to amp up the chaos with a side of icy adventure.
Co-op Mayhem on the Go
Lock in with a joy-con and get ready to scale new heights with the pint-sized penguin duo, Bread and Fred. These buddies bring more than just cute faces to the game; they’re about that thrill-seeking life, leaping across vast chasms and shimmying over treacherous icy patches. The twist? You’re literally tethered to your partner, making communication key—cue the strategic use of in-game emojis to nail those tricky maneuvers.
New Challenges and Cool Beats
As you ascend the frosty peaks, you’ll meet Pol the Polar Bear, the newest critter to join the summit squad. Pol introduces a fresh challenge with 10 time-trial races that are sure to test your reflexes. Beat the clock and you’ll snag some exclusive in-game swag.
And what’s a game without a banger soundtrack to keep your adrenaline pumping? Tune into the Super Duper Ultra Redux mixtape, a smorgasbord of tunes spanning genres from hip-hop to smooth jazz, crafted by iconic composers like Grant Kirkhope and Chipper Hammond. With an hour of music to choose from, every level can have its perfect anthem, all accessible from the jukebox in Bread and Fred’s cozy igloo.
Single-Player or Double Trouble?
Not in the mood to share the spotlight? No problem! Go solo by swapping your penguin pal for Jeff the Rock, a sturdy companion who’s all about that solo ascent. Whether you’re teaming up for record-breaking runs in Speedrun Mode or braving the slopes alone, Bread & Fred offers a dynamic gameplay experience that adapts to your preferences.
More than Just a Game
Scott Miller, the CCO and Founder of Apogee Entertainment, highlighted the collaborative spirit of Bread & Fred, noting that the Nintendo Switch’s versatility enhances the shared gaming experience. Whether you’re kicking back at home or out and about, this game is all about making those gaming moments with friends and family count.
