Push Square: "Fresh and frantic, Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure is a pleasant surprise, with moreish multiplayer and a beguiling, unique style that sets it apart in a crowded genre. Slight performance hiccups crop up when matches get too busy, but they're rare, and you'll be having too much fun to really notice. A couple of extra modes or online multiplayer would've made this easier to recommend, but it's fun, snappy, and full of character nonetheless, and if you're looking for a little light-heartedness in your multiplayer gaming sessions, don't dodge this."
More dodging than your average Bloodborne playthrough
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Want to relive the most painful memories of playing dodgeball at third grade? This game is for you."
Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure Deluxe fully deserves a place among Nintendo Switch's already amazing line up of local multiplayer titles. It's accessible yet deceptively deep twin stick-based mechanics make for a decent amount of challenge in the solo campaign, even if it's a little on the short side. Even with no online, using bots or getting up to five other friends involved means that multiplayer matches are a joy and always thoroughly entertaining. Striking a great balance between cooperative and competitive play styles, Its combination of charming presentation and witty retro humour are sure to keep the laughs coming regardless of player demographic.
Handheld Players takes a look at the Nintendo Switch New Releases in January 2018.
I kinda wish somebody would say something about Chroma Gun, that game is actually really good if you ask me, I mean it's obviously inspired by portal but I think it's a unique enough idea to give it it's own merits. I already own it on PC so I won't be getting it, but anyone with a switch who liked Portal/2 and hasn't played this game should definitely get it.
Already got Shantae physical on pre order, loved Risky's revenge on 3DS.
I hope for a new Pilotwings, Starfox and Mario Party but without that stupid car and with added online play.
Lost Sphear and Furi on Switch and Digimon on Vita. Good month to be a handheld gamer.
