Fuser was quite an intriguing release in late 2020, representing the latest effort in the genre from Harmonix. Unlike the classic formula of recreating music with timed presses on large plastic instruments, this one is all about working virtual mixers to create your own gigs. We quite liked it in our Fuser review, albeit the game's core mechanic means its approach to scoring, for example, doesn't make much sense.
As a concept, though, it can certainly be fun. A hindrance to the game's success has been a relatively high initial asking price for a game that plugs numerous paid add-ons - with some free new tracks regularly added, to be fair - and a unique mechanic that is hard to 'sell'. It had a price cut recently, and Switch owners in PAL and North American territories will be able to try it for free this week as a Nintendo Switch Online Trial.
Though it starts tomorrow, if you head to the Fuser product page on the eShop it gives a link to download for free right now, so you can get it lined up and ready to go for when the trial goes live.
Are you going to give Fuser a try?

wait wait wait if we need a plastic peripheral how do we demo it for free? am i missing something?!
@redpanda0310 Fuser doesn't use peripherals.
No, Keyboardmania 1 + 2 PS2 is still more interesting to play than Fuser in my opinion.
Hopefully I'll find time to try it during the trial. I do get a sense this kind of software kinda needs to go FTP nowadays.
Nice! Got this one on my radar but there are other games at that price point higher on my wishlist. I have some experience with DJing and would like to know if that would factor in the game somehow.
the frame rates should be running smoothly on Dreamcast. please take me out....Jesus.
Not even for free I am interested in rhythm games...
I'm really curious, as to how gameplay works. A free download sounds great, so I'll give it a try!
Oh hey it's that game with emojis trailer.
This game is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes music games.
Bleh, this always looked really boring to me
It’s a great game! Online is fun and playing with a group friends can be a riot! I like music games and this one surprised the heck out of me!
@Grumblevolcano
oh ok
Really wanted to like this game, downloaded a demo. Stuck at the first tutorial level: it asks me to change rhythm and bass, I did that pretty well a dozen times, but no dice. After ten minutes of frustration deleted it.
