Bullies, they are just the worst, aren't they? If they aren't giving you an atomic wedgie then they are trying to flush your head down the toilet. In Squareboy Vs Bullies: Arena Edition the titular Squareboy has had enough of the bullying and sets out to put them in their place in this old school beat 'em up by Rohan Narang, which is coming to the Switch this week priced at $4.99.
Here's what we can expect from this beat'em up published by the lovely folks at Ratalaika Games:
- Retro pixel art graphics and OST with 14 different chiptune tracks.
- Fight in many different locations across Squareburg.
- New Arena mode
- Never before seen Bullies.
- New UI screen that takes advantage of entire screen.
- New co-op mode only for Nintendo Switch.
We have to say it all sounds pretty good, like River City Ransom with fighters that look like they have just escaped from the Emoji Movie. Sign us up!

Hmmm, will wait for a review first...
Hmmm no... I think
@Shiryu You and me both.
Hmm...sure you are not confusing retro with naff? Spritework is a legit style (and always has been!). If this game was released on the SNES, it still woulda looked awful! Looking forward to the review though
I'll stick with Burning Fight for now. With Wulverblade, Robo Army and Mutation Nation on the way my beat-em-up itch will be well and truly scratched. Was never a fan of speccy era beat-em-ups anyway and this is exactly what this looks like. Awful!
Looks a bit like Schooldaze from the spectrum.
I’d rather have River City Ransom. Where the hell is the VC, Nintendo?
Looks a lot like river city
I'll decide when the review comes out. It'll be likely this VS Stardew Valley as I only have money for one indie for now...
Fortunately, there's enough titles coming to the Switch, there's really no reason to pick anything up that's not absolutely stellar.
Shallow game for iOS, where its free.
Not worthy.
These are free iOS mobile games with a Nintendo eshop price. Try it free before you buy
I think i'll stick with Double Dragon IV and wait for Ninja Combat and Sengoku 3.
How appropriate that the above screenshot has a garbage can in it, because that's where it belongs, in the bin.
...no
I love beat em ups and if this manages to be a good one then I wouldn't feel too bad about the asking price. I mean for $5 it can be just decent.
Eh, there are too many good games coming out or have already been released so I don't think I can justify buying this one. I have little time to play games as it is.
this isnt Dad n Me....
i'll wait for a review.
I just got this game and it's a really awesome 8bit beat em up. since I don't use Iphone or android or play "mobile" games, this game is new to me and it just rocks!
later!
