Following its initial delay, the Little Town Hero Big Idea Edition has today launched for Nintendo Switch in North America. Those in Europe will have to wait just a little longer until 26th June.
The Big Idea Edition is a physical version of Pokémon developer Game Freak’s small-scale RPG, coming with an artbook, poster, soundtrack and more that looks perfect for collectors. You can check it out in the image below, and it’s also been featured in a new trailer released today (see above).
If you’re wanting to learn more about the game, make sure to check out our full review. We wouldn’t call it a must-play experience, but it certainly does away with some of the RPG genre’s more frustrating elements and would be ideal for anyone looking for something a little more bite-sized. Here’s a snippet of what we had to say:
“…With a battle system that trades XP levelling for a purer sense of tactical planning and experimentation (albeit with an unpredictable spike difficulty), Game Freak proves that a ‘casual’ game can still have plenty of imagination, even on a smaller scale. It’s far from essential, but if you love CCG-style combat and can’t stomach another 100-hour RPG, there’s much to like in Little Town Hero.”
