This runs really smooth on the Switch (I know other versions had some bugs that made certain levels impossible, but I only experienced one minor glitch in my Switch playthrough which made a boss easier, so I didn't mind). I'm baffled by all of the negative reviews.

Update: I finished the game yesterday, and would still give this a solid 9/10. That being said if you're looking for a game that's a work of art, this is absolute eye candy and an enjoyable ride through a retro-futuristic fantasy world. I would also like to be able to backtrack and replay certain moments, which doesn't seem possible so far. I could go on, the only drawbacks so far are the lack of a map and some ambiguity in where to go at certain points, but I see those as just part of the puzzle solving, and it hasn't gotten to the point of frustration. Narita Boy is best described, perhaps, as an engaging lore-rich adventure story first and foremost, most easily comparable to beloved 80s sci-fi classic Tron but feeling less like a mere throwback than a strangely personal, quirky, frenetic art piece. holy crap, the Synth Bard's theme is incredible, as is the western theme in the desert. The visuals in this game alone are worth the price of admission, the dialogue is lore-heavy yet clever and funny, and the music.

There have been a few moments so far (no spoilers, but they involve transformations) where the game completely surprised me with awesomeness. I read some negative reviews recently so I was fully prepared to not enjoy the game but it is so enjoyable and it's kept me smiling the entire time. Been waiting for this for a couple years now, and the trailers sold me on the amazing character animations, unique designs, and techno 80s throwback aesthetic.
