Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 8 Comments
99Vidas is in development for Switch, QUByte Interactive announced today. A release is planned between Q3 and Q4 2017.
99Vidas initially launched last year. The beat’em up takes place in a contemporary world and takes inspiration from classic games such as Double Dragon and Golden Age. Featuring 16-bit retro graphics, it has “Punch” and “Kick” attack buttons that can be used for combos.
Here’s a comprehensive overview:
99Vidas captures the excitement of beat ’em ups like Final Fight, Double Dragon, Battletoads, Golden Axe and Streets of Rage featuring 16-bit retro graphics to bring back the nostalgia of those great classics from the 80’s and 90’s.
Unlike more traditional Beat’Em Ups, 99Vidas features two attack buttons – Punch (fast but weak) and Kick (slow but strong), which players can alternate to perform different combos.
Character moves, including combos, can be upgraded by spending Experience Points acquired during gameplay, expanding damage inflicted, adding elemental damage, modifying the each character, both visually and gameplay-wise.
Key Features
Up to 4 players co-op
11 Playable characters
Story Mode with 6 levels
2 Bonus Levels
Versus Mode
Survival Mode
6 Challenging Boss Fights
Multiple Upgradable skills
Multiple Weapons and Special Attacks
