Very odd, never a job
Screencheathas fared very well on non-Nintendo systems since it was first released in 2014, but now that it’s on the Switch, it feels truly at home. Four-player competitive gaming really came into its own on consoles with the N64, thanks to the likes ofMario Kart, Smash Bros. andGoldenEye.Screencheatcaries forward the legacy of the latter in a very specific way.
All of the players are invisible, so the only way to locate someone to shoot them is to sneak a peek at their screen, using that visual information as context before you aim and fire. Until you’ve played it, it might sound impossible, but matches can actually breeze along at a fairly quick pace, thanks to some ridiculously powerful (but balanced) weapons, tight environments filled with landmarks, and multiple game modes that put a fresh spin on the action.
The visuals and music were revamped for thisUnpluggedremaster, with optional gyro controls and a fair bit of new content added ion to boot. If you’re itching for some lighthearted multi-player action to tide you over before (and after)Smash Ultimatehits next week, this may be the way to go.
