SUSHI STRIKER: THE WAY OF SUSHIDO

Developer Indieszero Publisher Nintendo Format 3DS Release 2018 Most of Nintendo’s focus at E3 this year may have been on Switch, but the company has spent 2017 assuring us there’s life in 3DS yet – and bonkers puzzle game Sushi Striker provides a convincing reason for keeping the ageing handheld charged up. Developed by Indieszero, the small Japanese studio behind such esoteric fare as Electroplankton and the NES Remix games, it tasks you with matching like-coloured plates of sushi with the stylus before flinging them at an opponent, an attack multiplier building for bigger stacks. With eye-catching art, a silly story about a country in ruins after a war over raw fish, and a soundtrack full of J-pop bangers, it won’t sell millions, but we’re all over it like white on rice.
