Be There On The Double As PAW Patrol: On A Roll Pads Onto Switch

Finally a game for my kids! There are not many to be honest.

LETS TAKE TO THE SKIES!!!

(yes, I have a 4 year old)

My 4 year old is gonna be super stoked...

My Daughter will love this

Ehh... I guess.

They're barking up the wrong tree.

@pbb76 ready for a ruff, ruff rescue!

Does anyone else find it strange how Adventure Bay has eschewed a standard system of emergency departments and instead has placed it's trust in a young boy and a handful of dogs. I reckon Mayor Goodway is siphoning off taxes into an offshore fund under chickalleta's name.

Also: Day 1

My youngest will love this. Definitely getting for my kids

@wizlon THANK YOU! Nobody understands when I try to voice my concerns about placing your entire emergency services at the whim of a bunch of talking dogs. Its asking for trouble.

I'm Team CATastrophe Crew anyways. #VivaMayorHumdinger!

Easy platinum ........

Chase is on the case!

I'll be giving this a miss, 'kay? Nine out of ten tv-tie in games are pretty terrible.

This is great. My younger kids love paw patrol. I hope the game is decent... the Cars game on Switch was quite good

My daughter is almost three and she love paw patrol. May get this for her so long it's not a steaming pile of dog....

Just to clarify, PAW patrol is also (and originally) a toy line by Spin Master (the same company of Bakugan)

Didn't realize there were so many parents on this website.

I really hope this will be good, because my 3 year old son is a massive fanboy. Till now he was only allowed to crash karts into fences in MK8DX, but this might be the first game to actually play with him.

I'll probably get this for my niece.

My youngest used to love Paw Patrol but has kinda grown out of it now. However if it's a decent enough game may give it a shot. We will see,

My godson turns 4 in September, I might be able to talk my sister into getting him a Switch for this. Now if they just make a Beat Bugs rhythm game I'm sure she'd buy him 1.

His sister actually had a Paw Patrol themed birthday party last year, so it would be a great game for her too.

All right, who's bright idea was it to name a video game after a toy line? My Google searches are coming up empty.

Here are some free web browsers Nick Jr games if anyone is interested. Probably not good, but free. (Used to play these all the time w/ my kids back in the day, Wubzy was the best.)

Yup, my daughter is obsessed with Paw Patrol. For some reason it just clicked with her and she had all the names and catchphrases down pretty much immediately. It's the very first cartoon she's clung on to, and she won't leave the house without her "Cha Cho", as she pronounces it, puppy. So yeah, I'll be picking this up.

She's turning 3 in June, so I doubt she'll be able to really play. I'm hoping it'll be at least passable fun for an adult to play while the kiddo squeals and shouts.

Not to worry though, I've already got her familiar with Mario and other Nintendo characters. I'm hoping sometime this year she'll make it past the Goomba in Super Mario Bros and be hooked from then on.

Rubble on the double!! My daughter and I are gonna have fun.

@super08mario My three year old son (will be four when this releases) will love this. He currently loves Minecraft, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Cars 3, Mario Odyssey, and a few other games on Switch but this is his current favorite television series so will likely be grabbing this for sure.

Currently we have three Switches in house. Mine is the neon launch edition purchased day one. We grabbed a new Splatoon 2 Edition for the family at Christmas, now being used by my two middle daughters and youngest son. And then my oldest son is paying off a discounted second hand grey Switch I bought for around $220 (he's nearly halfway there).

While not one of her biggest go tos, my 4 year old does like Paw Patrol. She also has grown to love gaming. So this will be a big hit with her

My daughter might love this, but if it was Puppy Pals Is absolutely have to get it for her. More of a Disney family but I think she watches this at the sitter’s

My little girl loves Paw Patrol. Her birthday is in October, so this could be a nice easy birthday present. The best part is that I don't have to find a place for it in the house like the rest of her toys.

@RickD
You?

I have a nephew who is into paw patrol he would be all over this

It's good to see more kid focused games. I loved licensed games as a kid and didn't realize any of them were terrible until recently. Batman and Robin for the Genesis was my shiiiit

Haha my daughter will love this! I'll play to just catch mayor humdinger up to his zany plans! Funny how everyone calls Nintendo system kids systrm yet very few kids games on here.

Side note I was going buy bayonetta but I have it on Wii U I'd rather buy splatoon 2

They shoulda came out with "Paw Patrol: Tournament Fighter" instead

@wizlon having a 4 year old myself and knowing all of the references here... this is easily top comment.

Ah, the classic dilemma of "great game for my young child(ren) to play" vs. super fragile expensive electronic device.

Eh who am I kidding. Parents give their kids $600 iPads on the daily to just fling around all willy nilly. Dilly, dilly!

My baby brother would love this

I’m so excited for this... maybe my kid will play it 😁😁😁

@gatorboi352

Anyone who gives their kid an iPad to shut them up with is a horrible parent in my eyes. Technology is NOT a babysitter. YouTube is NOT a babysitter. Neither are substitutes.

It has now been demonstrated over and over and over that this kind of constant tech and this kind of constant power at an early age decreases attention-span and demotes parent/child relationships. It's why Steve Jobs didn't allow any of his kids any iPads. It also destroys the very fabric of YouTube, prompting money-grabbing channels to churn out Spiderman and Elsa video after Spiderman and Elsa video. They aren't even educational. Just sick, usually.

This has been a spontaneous rant on parenting styles.

That is all.

@RickD

On the site yes, but not on this article for obvious reasons.

My 3 year old has cast aside Paw Patrol in his affections and is all about the Lego. Which gives me a great excuse to buy Lego games.

@wizlon Every single time Marshall does something clumsy I think “this is really their only responder for fire and medical emergencies?!?”

Also, Ryder is surprisingly well adjusted and decisive for a 10-year old with seemingly no parents.

I’ll gladly join the chorus of excited parents/aunts/uncles/etc. here! My daughter loves the Paw Patrol cartoon and is starting to enjoy a select handful of games in small increments (all Nintendo-themed, of course: “Super Mario Run,” “MARIO Kart 8” and — on a basic navigation level — “Super Mario Odyssey”). She’ll turn four right around the time this game releases and I can’t imagine not buying it for her day-and-date.

On a related note, I am sure other sites are full of vitriolic commentary about licensed material and/or children’s games as a whole, but one of the things that I love about the Nintendo Life community is evidenced right here where we are voicing optimism about the game’s potential and sharing excitement for this opportunity to share gaming with our little ones. Even now as an adult my own parents and I connect meaningfully through things we love in common, and though she’s very young, I deeply enjoy bonding with my daughter in similar ways.

Early GOTY contender. Easily.

Huh ?! (Shocked, Jaw Dropped)

I have never realized that Kid Show will be a proper game for Switch.

Too bad, Handy Manny (from Disney Play House) didn't make a debut on Nintendo machines because i really like the show. Handy Manny had its own game (Educational games), but Flash game style from website.

@gatorboi352
What a horrible decision to lend a $ 600 for a kids but at the same time you STILL Insult Nintendo Switch for Horrible machine with price $ 300. Just a HALF !!

@wizlon I do however think it also an interesting cost-saving measure to merge all individual emergency services into one on the basis that if you need fire services you prob need police, medic, air rescue, lifeguard construction, eco-warrior as well so why not just send all the time.....

This would be great for my young ones. Would want to see gameplay first

Depends on the gameplay. If it's decent for the little ones and has some staying power, I might get it. If it's limited or overpriced for what's offered, I'll probably pass. I can see my little one excited by the theme, but I've seen kid-themed games before that are either way too hard or way too pointless.

I'm fired up!!!!! Oh Marshall.....you loveable little scamp. My four year old son watches this here in South Korea. They have it dubbed in Korean which shows how popular the show really is. If this is a cheaper release, I'll pick this up for my little buddy.

@pbb76 to be fair they are talking dogs and in the broken universe i could see talking dogs taking care of things

Let's get wet wet wet

I am a little worried about the switch being damaged and so on so I do hope it can be played with the pro.... I care about that too. But at least it won’t have the screen to be destroyed.

@10-zx easier said than done though.

So as a teacher with no kids of my own(thank god) I asked my cousin what cartoons her kids were watching, then I bought stickers of that show for my students.

As it turns out, none of my students like this show. They choose simple smiley faces or flags over it regularly.

@dumedum

It all depends upon the parent's standards and discipline. An easy road is always easier to take than the hard one.

Just once I want one of these kids games to be great enough to earn a 95+ Metacritic score.

Seriously, Nintendo advertises themselves towards kids, yet why aren't there any legit educational series for young'uns to play and learn.

I've thought about it for years and still haven't figured out why they don't, even if thru 3rd Parties.

@ManInTheChair

@Grawlog

I'm not demonizing technology. I live on technology. I'm downplaying parents who hand over their children to video babysitters, and the most common vector of this action is the iPad.

Very simple.

@10-zx
Don't worry, mate.
I also don't like to see so many parents just hush their kids with Ipad without supervision and communication.
I saw that scenery everywhere in my place.
I felt so sick too.

@10-zx do you even have kids? When your kid is yelling and demanding a smartphone and you're exhausted and you also have a million of other things to do, it's next to impossible. Also, your whole premise is faulty. My kid learnt tons of English and math and other skills from playing a smartphone and watching it.

@dumedum

I don't, but does that waive my right of voicing my public input?

If he's demanding a smartphone, he was probably previously exposed to one, which he then liked using, a lot, then shortly acquired an addiction for technology.

I also did school on smart devices, but my premise is not faulty. My premise is only directed to people who use technology as a substitute parent because they don't want to deal right now, or as a silencer, which yes, I suppose is very very difficult to do when you're exhausted and have a million other things to do. But this is where creativity comes in, and maybe some rules and discipline on tech use on the child's part, because with the great power of handing over the Internet (and many mind-numbing apps that falsely claim they are educational) to your child, comes great responsibility.

But I don't wish to call out the already weary or insert myself into anything. This is me spouting my personal views on a gaming site, take it for what you will.

Just a heavy annoyance of mine, which I believe naturally lowers children's attention span.

@10-zx yes, on this instance it renders your opinion worthless, no offense. Actually having a kid, that you care about and spend so much of your time with caring for, changes your life so fundamentally and dramatically that it's impossible to understand from outside. It's emotional, it's financial , it's mental. It reshapes your relationship with your spouse completely. It is like having a whole new life. Nothing is ever the same again. I would have said exactly what you said. Before.

@dumedum

None taken.

I understand that it permanently, monumentally changes your life. Believe me. I know.

My youngest really likes PAW PATROL so this will definitely be a pickup.... when the price is right.
