Despite the fact 2018 is nearly over, there are plenty of publishers and developers in recent months who are still announcing their games will be arriving before the end of the year. It's arguably crazy, as this period is best known nowadays to be dominated by AAA industry releases.
The developer and publisher QUByte doesn't appear to be concerned about this, as it will finally release 99Vidas at the end of this month on 27th November. As we've noted on previous occasions, this is a 16-bit game created in conjunction with 99Vidas - Brazil's most popular video game podcast. The overall aim is to capture and recreate the magic of beat 'em up greats like Final Fight, Double Dragon, Battletoads, Golden Axe and Streets of Rage.
The Switch version will feature "exclusive" content, including an all-new arcade mode and all-new remix mode - along with new stages and enemies. It also caters to four players (local and online) and features multiple other options such as a story and survival mode. The trailer above is a good indication of what you can expect.

There's a demo for it on the Eshop. I tried it last night but I didn't like it. It definitely looks the part but I found the combat very unsatisfying. It felt like there was no real impact to your punches or kicks. The round house kick feels especially feeble and the special just felt odd to use. In games like Final Fight, the satisfaction comes from smacking bad guys in the face Dirty Harry style and kicking them Bruce Lee style, your hits feel like they have an impact and would hurt.99 Vidas didn't give me that feeling. I only tried one character though so perhaps other characters are more satisfying to control?
With the Beat 'em Up Bundle now on Switch, Streets of Rage 2 coming soon in the Megadrive Colllection, the Neo Geo/ Arcade Archives releases and Wulverblade, I think I've got all the beat' em ups I'll ever need.
This game is a lot of fun but could be so much better. The music is outstanding and the graphics look like they were done by the Scott Pilgrim artist. The lacking point is the combat. The sounds are really weak and it doesn't feel like your delivering any kind of blow. The special moves are the same, they look good but the Fx is so weak. it's something that could be patched but it won't be seeing as this has now been out for a couple of years. I will still get it and try it out further but it feels like it could of been a classic.
For the pre-purchase price, I think the game is pretty worth it. Of course it could be better, but for less than 10 dollars, this seems like a fun brawler..
Awful game. And these people were supporting Jair Bolsonaro, no? The right wing fascist that won elections in Brazil.
@Tirza @duhsoares21 DAMN those Bolsominions really DO spread everywhere! go back to the neo-fascist hole you crawled out of
@Tirza I'm not buying this game because of this.
Still have a sealed physical ps4 copy lying around somewhere, maybe get it for switch instead and sell the ps4 one.
@Tirza And what those lazy-asses communists were doing while they developed this game? Not working, I guarantee you.
Anyway, the game indeed looks good, needed some polishing, but our gaming industry is still thriving. It would certainly be better developed if investors money were going to honest working people around here.
@Tirza will you keep crying for eight years? Cause if so, go live near the Cantareira System. São Paulo will love that extra water on summers.
@dux nevermind those brainwashed Bolsonaro minions, that's the result of decades of poor education plus the new factor of social media emotional manipulation: BANANA NAZISM
