Ittle Dew draws its main influences from The Legend Of Zelda series, and makes no effort in hiding the fact that it is parody. Alongside numerous in-jokes and a health system comprised of hearts, it is clear that Ittle is designed to be highly reminiscent of Link (her tomboy appearance a reversal of Link’s feminine looks) and her companion Tippsie serves as a Navi-like guide, though is thankfully far less irritating. The art direction offers a cartoony approach, similar to the Wind Waker era of the Nintendo-owned franchise, and is absolutely gorgeous as a result. The environments and character animations are hand-drawn (giving them that ‘wobbly’ effect) and are very well designed. The enemies are particularly worth mentioning – deadly rotating turnips and vicious potted cacti are pitted against our titular hero, all the while retaining their innocent and adorable expressions.
"Ittle Dew may not contain a lengthy adventure but it's so packed with fun that I highly recommend it. Replaying this indie classic definitely made me excited for the prospect of Ittle Dew 3. Will it ever happen? By Itan's beard, I hope so!" - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
According to the Nintendo Switch e shop the original Ittle Dew will adventure onto the Nintendo Switch on August 15, 2019. For the longest time Switch players have only had access to the second Ittle Dew, but now fans of the original and others will be able to enjoy its predecessor on the go.
Pocket Gamer: Nintendo isn't putting its games onto other systems. You can put your tissues away, though because, there are alternatives.
