Alright, so… there’s this game coming out, and let me tell ya, it’s got me all kinds of curious. It’s called Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo. Yes, a cursed yoyo. Like, who even thinks of that? Anyway, it drops on Nintendo Switch on May 28, 2025. Mark your calendars, or don’t—your choice.
So here’s what got my attention: they’re calling it a “Yoyovania.” Like, Castlevania, but with a yoyo. Sounds insane, right? You’re Pippit, some yoyo whiz, and you’ve got this wild adventure ahead of you. There’s your aunt’s business or something (couldn’t tell you why that’s important, honestly), a soul-sucking mega-laser—like, out of nowhere, right?—and four crime bosses. Yeah, four. Each probably with their own quirks.
Now, this yoyo, though—it’s not your usual walk-the-dog nonsense. Every new trick you learn flips the script, and suddenly, the city’s this whole new puzzle. You’re chaining moves, finding secret spots, and dodging trouble left and right. Or that’s the idea, anyway.
Oh, and they’ve got this whole list of features. Not sure I caught them all, but here’s the gist:
– The city’s split into 4 districts, with like a bazillion screens of secret stuff.
– You sneak into these bosses’ turf, winding through crazy buildings, taking down goons, and solving puzzles that sound way above my pay grade.
– Learn yoyo tricks to get all parkour on everyone. I mean, who knew yoyos could do that?
– There are over 40 badges or something that switch up how you play, plus 20 more upgrades from this sketchy loan shark guy. (No judgments here.)
– There’s a ton of collectibles too—stuff like life upgrades and treasures. Basically, everything you never knew you needed.
So yeah, if this doesn’t sound like a beautifully chaotic mess of a game, don’t know what does. Hold onto your yoyos, folks—this could be a ride.
