Back in March, we shared a quick look at Clive ‘N’ Wrench, a brand new 3D platformer inspired by the '90s classics. Today, pre-orders have gone live for a physical edition that'll be exclusive to Switch.
Taking cues from the likes of Spyro the Dragon and Jak & Daxter, Clive ‘N’ Wrench features a story that revolves around time travel. Its heroes - Clive the rabbit and his monkey sidekick, Wrench - embark on a crazy adventure through time and space inside their very own, magical 1950s fridge. You couldn't write it - except someone did.
It's scheduled to launch this winter with eShop prices set to be at the £24.99 / €29.99 mark. If you're wanting to treat yourself to a physical copy, though, you can grab a standard edition for £34.99 / €39.99, or a Collector's Edition for £44.99 / €49.99. Pre-orders for these can be found at Numskull Games' website.

Are you sure the monkey’s name isn’t George?
I'm up for that, the game looked good.
I like what Numskull Games are doing. It won't surprise me if this shows up on Limited Run Games' distribution line in the future.
@Eel Was about to say, looks like George got curious and decided to get pants.
@Kalmaro at least he still values the company of people with yellow hats.
I think I’ll give this a pass.
It amazes me that a physical release is feasible for games like this, but I certainly hope it works out for everyone.
Ok I'm interested. Will keep an eye on this one. Love me a 3D platformer and this one looks promising.
I still recall when this game was in development it was ridiculously ugly! Look how far it came now!
@Eel I can respect that amount of dedication to yellow headwear.
This looks a lot better than it did a few years ago. Credit to the devs for working to improve it.
As a 90s/early 00s kid, 3D platformers are to totally up my alley and I'm curious about this Clive & Wrench.
Some of the animation/lighting looked kinda creepy to me though.
I know they said they're inspired, but the title name immediately springs Ratchet & Clank to mind.
And the hover mechanic is almost copy/paste from Whiplash on PS2.
Will await reviews of this before diving in.
Yeah optimistic for this one but gonna wait for reviews.
@Kalmaro Curious George is an ape since he has no tail, this guy is a monkey
I would love to unlock the original characters to play as. I've been following this game as well and it's almost there... Hopefully they can pull it off.
Awaiting review before purchase
I'm so hyped for this game. Been watching the development on twitter and it looks like a promising game
@Jokerwolf You mean 'Lesser Ape' because Monkeys are apes too
For the folks that interested in the artist who made those character designs, here is his DeviantArt page.

Some nice cartoony games for my nephew. Might get it for him for Christmas.
@Jakiboy Great ape then.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!
This one looks so slick! It’s always exciting to buy from the publisher directly
Update: it just links you to different distributors
I'm into it. It looks cool (even if some of the animations look stiff).
Hopefully, this gets a physical release in the US. I love a good 3D platformer. This has been a really good generation to be a fan of the genre.
Even Curious George and Reader Rabbit ditched the teaching business in search of a better salary.
It's been... 10000 years....
Looks promising thus far, reminds me of Banjo-Kazooie mixed with Jax&Daxter.
