WHAT’S HOT

NINJALA

SWITCH

This unusual Switch exclusive is full of crazy, but awesome, ideas. For example, Ninjala is the name of tournament that’s run by the World Ninja Association. If you have the DNA of a ninja, all you have to do to enter is chew their special bubble gum and you will suddenly master all the skills of ninjutsu. If only that was true in real life! The focus is on online battles for eight players, either team-based or in solo mode. The weirdness carries across to the melee combat, where you can hide in the map as an object and blow bubbles to get special abilities like air-dashes and charges. This joins more standard actions like double-jumps and wall-runs, but even the size of your weapon can be increased by defeating drones that pop-up mid-battle. It all plays out like a 3D version of Super
