Megabyte Punch Switch NSP Free Download GAMESPACK.NET I’ll start this off by admitting that I’ve never been a big fan of beat ‘em ups. It’s not that I think they’re bad, I just was never very good at them. That’s why it was very surprising that Megabyte Punch caught my attention the way it did. Obviously the first thing to get my interest was the fact that you play as a funky little robot. The more substantial points were the two-dimensional platforming and the customizability of your character’s moveset and skills. I love customizing my characters in games, so this immediately had me sold. The game took me a while to get into. In the beginning, the controls felt confusing and the rules were not explained very clearly. I also experienced several crashes that forced me to play through level 1 multiple times, although I was not able to replicate those crashes any time afterward. After finally managing to get through level one, I realized the biggest thing that sold me on the game: It played near identically to Super Smash Bros Brawl’s Subspace Emissary. I always adored the SSE mode in Brawl and constantly lamented the lack of a similar mode in future games. Playing through Megabyte Punch brought back good memories.

Much like in Super Smash Bros, your player character does not have a traditional health bar. Instead, you have a damage meter that builds up as you take damage. The higher your damage, the more you get knocked away by attacks. If you get knocked into a wall hard enough, you lose a life. The same goes for your enemies, so levels tend to have a lot of flying bots and level destruction. The customizable abilities are very similar to the special moves in smash bros, activated by pressing the B button while pointing in specific directions. Enemies have access to the same abilities as you, and oftentimes defeating them nets you the parts you need to gain those abilities. At the end of every level, you fight a named boss on a platform with basic smash bros rules, where the objective is to knock the opponent into the “blast zones” at the edges of the stage. Unfortunately, my praise for the game slows down from there. While the core gameplay is incredibly fun and solid, the game itself tends to come off as repetitive and sometimes even monotonous. The blocky design tends to make every level look like a recolor of the last.

The enemies are equally samey-looking for the most part, as they are mostly just robots like you, even using the same parts as you. Even the level bosses tend to look similar, besides having some unique parts. Even the music, while enjoyable, tends to get interrupted frequently by the music that starts every time you get ambushed- a situation very comparable to the werehog sections of Sonic Unleashed. While the gameplay has a huge amount of potential, there are several things that harm the experience there too. The enemies can easily become frustrating, as they have a bad habit of spamming the same attacks over and over and locking you in a cycle of hurting. This is especially painful with enemies armed with projectiles, as even without causing much knockback your damage meter can build up to dangerous levels quickly and the levels themselves do not offer many if any, ways to lower your damage meter. The bosses are especially guilty of these methods, as they tend to have unique moves that they can easily spam to keep you from landing any hits. Light Fairytale Episode 2 Switch NSP

Your abilities also tend to feel less useful than your basic punches and often are situational at best. Hard-hitting moves are usually very difficult to land, while moves with better reach are more often than not extremely weak and have to be spammed to give good results. Even with all these flaws, I still find myself coming back to the game just for the visceral fun of sending robots smashing into walls by the dozens. I can only hope the developers will continue to learn from this game and improve in the future. Re-releasing games on the Nintendo Switch—either as a remake, or as they originally were—has been a trend that has been going on since the initial release of the system itself. Generally speaking, I don’t have a problem with that—and, on the contrary, there have been many times where I’ve even encouraged it. I feel that it’s important, however, to highlight the fact that just because you can re-release a game on the Switch doesn’t mean that you necessarily should. And you don’t need to look any further than Megabyte Punch to see why. Megabyte Punch is by no means an objectively bad game. I wouldn’t even call it bad subjectively.

But it most certainly feels like a product of the time during which it was originally released, which happens to be all the way back in 2013. Even with everything that it offers—which, to be fair, is a sizable amount—there’s nothing that, by today’s standards (or, at least, my own standards of today) feels all that intuitive or gripping. It’s not bad, but it’s not great, and, unless there’s a Megabyte Punch 2 in development (I actually checked and didn’t see anything about it), this is probably going to be one of those ported Switch titles that drifts off into obscurity. Megabyte Punch‘s narrative tells a story in the same way that games like Mega Man X does—with little dialogue, and quite a bit going on underneath. Unfortunately, unlike Mega Man X, Megabyte Punch doesn’t have years of pre-established lore to draw from. The game begins with the player being summoned from what appears quite literally to be the digital void to aid Ventu Village. A small, peaceful village residing within a digital world, Ventu Village has begun to worry about its Heartcore—a relic which literally acts as the heart of the town—and has summoned a hero (you) to help them drive off income threats.

Unfortunately for Ventu Village, however, those threats are greater than they initially realized. I’ll give Megabyte Punch credit for trying—because it absolutely does. However, I can’t help but feel as though it might have benefitted from holding back a little bit more (and I say those already knowing that plot is not this game’s main focus). At the risk of sounding like an idiot incapable of memorizing the entire span of this game’s plot, I think that the game’s story tries to do too much with too little setup. I get that the Valk Empire is bad, but they never even attempt to explain why—relegating them to little more than a plot device—and then there’s this whole thing with assassins and necromancy, and it just… well, it all feels very thrown together. Presenting itself as one part platformer and one part brawler, Megabyte Punch feels like a video game middle ground in a lot of ways. The game itself consists of six different worlds, each made up of three levels and featuring a boss at the end. Taking a look at the positives first, each of Megabyte Punch‘s levels is surprisingly expansive, and, in terms of design, felt something akin to a mixture between a Kirby and Sonic games, with pacing much inspired by Super Smash Brothers.

Brawl‘s Subspace Emissary (which I think is one of the best things to come out of the series, ever). Because of the size of each level, players are allowed, and even encouraged, to create their own path—sometimes literally, due to many levels’ destructible environments—and oftentimes rewards them with bits—which you can use to gain extra lives and spent as currency, (although the former doesn’t seem to always work as intended)—and custom parts and colors. Normally, I would be all for this. And, to a lesser extent, I was still for it in this game. However, despite a good setup, the game’s execution of things left something to be desired. Despite everything that I’ve said so far, I still can’t help but feel as though Megabyte Punch ultimately falls short of where it should. As I’ve already said, I usually like platformers with big levels. But there’s a caveat that comes with that—the game has to be engaging enough to warrant said levels. And Megabyte Punch just doesn’t have the oomph necessary to necessitate its gigantic stages.

As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, I wanted to make sure that I picked up as many of the game’s collectibles (of which there are many) as possible, and this meant scouring every corner of every level. Typically, this kind of thing should be fun. With Megabyte Punch, however, it felt like a chore—I was fine doing it for a little while but found myself lacking the endurance and patience to play through every level in quick succession. Take one part platformer, add a dash of a fighting game, and a pinch of Metroidvania style exploration and what you end up with is something fairly unique. Megabyte Punch is at its core a beat ’em-up with some nice bells and whistles added to it. It’s broken up into six levels of three stages each. The levels can be short if you’re just going through to get to the end, however, there are rewards for exploring. From extra bits, which earn you extra lives, to parts for your Megac giving you stat boosts or new abilities. A Megac is a robot-like denizen of the computer world you live in. It is up to you the player, and up to 3 of your friends to defend the Heartcore of the village from the approaching enemies. As you progress through the levels of the game you fight other Megacs, and sometimes when defeating enemies, they drop parts.

You can pick up and use these parts to customize your own Megac. Boosting attack damage, defence, earning new abilities, etc. As you explore you can also find colour palettes to customize how your Megac looks. Each level has a boss character at the end of it that drops a rarer part than enemies do. There’s a fairly large number of parts available to collect throughout the game, making for a lot of customization of builds. Additionally, the Nintendo Switch has some added bonus stages and you can scan any amiibo to unlock additional colours. While I was playing on my Nintendo Switch, I did encounter a few bugs, occasionally causing the game to crash completely, but I still felt the urge to go back and play again. The crashes were seemingly random and menu associated. The first one was when I was swapping parts out on my Megac, the part s didn’t swap, instead, they stacked so I had two arm parts in the same slot. Shortly after that, the game crashed. The other one was when I tried to load an old build for my Megac from the house, the game just crashed instantly. It didn’t crash again after those two during the entire time I figure they were freak occurrences. Shakedown Hawaii Switch NSP
