Plenty of publishers are recognising the merits of bringing download games to the Switch eShop, with a number of studios enjoying plenty of success on the store. Armor Games Studios is getting in on the act, confirming that it's bringing the Massive Monsters-developed title The Adventure Pals to the Switch in Spring 2018 alongside PC / Mac, PS4 and Xbox One releases.
A sidescrolling action game with optional local co-op, it looks rather bonkers - check out a trailer and press release details below.
The Adventure Pals is a side-scrolling action-adventure platformer about friendship and exploration, featuring RPG elements and two-player local drop-in/drop-out co-op. Leap, slash and blast your way through increasingly madcap levels filled with dangerous traps, weird enemies, ridiculous bosses and glorious treasure. Visit friendly towns, unlock fun costumes and fill your scrapbook with secret stickers on a journey with a bizarre but lovable cast and colorfully animated storytelling.
Hop on the back of your giraffe, Sparkles, and discover 105 levels across five whimsical worlds filled with unique quests and characters, including zombie pirate cats, post-apocalyptic dinosaurs and hot dogs that poop explosive mines. Help a whale regain confidence, take a side in the battle between toast and dinosaur, travel to a legendary sunken city, decide the fate of a pirate election and more, all while leveling up to gain new and more powerful abilities!
Is this going on your wishlist for next year?

This has tons of what looks like Adventure Time influence splattered all over... I like it Gameplay looks alright too from the brief snippets I can see.
Anyone remembers Armor Games?
Felt like some flash games I use to play and then I saw the Armor Games logo. Looks pretty good.
This game sounds like a trip through my Discord server during my WoW days.
I thought flash too. It looks pretty zany but still fun. If the controls are nice and tight then I don't see an obstacle for my download.
Haha that was f**kin hilarious! I'll keep an eye
Riding a giraffe while using it’s tongue as a helicopter. I’m in!
This looks quite fun, but I'm worried that is won an award of best kids game.... how simple will this be?
😂😂😂
Last time I saw something like this I think I was dreaming...
@Captain_Toad Back before Angry Birds stole one of their core games and now no one gives any credit? I loved a lot of their newgrounds stuff.
On topic, game looks interesting. Glad to see more ports aligning their releases with the other consoles.
Looks very off the wall and random. In other words, it's pushing all the right buttons.

I usually don’t like indie platforms, platforms are not even my favourite genre actually, the only platforms I like are Mario, Rayman, and Donkey Kong.
But this looks pretty good and fun enough, so I will keep a look at it when it comes out
@Judas_Krimson Well I use to think the same but I'm currently enjoying the hell out of Shovel Knight (lttp here). And before that Shantae & The Pirates Curse.
Best platformers I've played in ages.
BTW, this game looks ridiculously fun.
"*Friendship not included." Lol! I may just pick it up for that line because other than the good laugh I got out of that... I have no idea what the heck I just watched... twice.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm READY!!!!
For adveeeenturrrrrrre
Pick a side in the battle between dinosaur and toast! XD
Looks crazy, silly and fun, will keep eye on it
A game for me. Originality all the way!!!
@GC-161 Oh jeez, I forgot to mention I played the poop out of Shovel Knight (and expansion) and Steamworld Dig (and Heist too, it isn’t a platform but I just wanted you to know I’m a huge fan of the series)😆
Still have to get Dig2 though...
Looks like Adventure Time! Mildly interested in this one.
