Twisted Pixel Games used to be one of the biggest indie developers around during the Xbox 360 era but since separating from Microsoft in 2015, they’ve opted to go down the route of creating games for virtual reality. Well, next week one of the studio’s most popular games will be returning, this time around, on Nintendo’s newest platform.
Twisted Pixel announced today that Ms. Splosion Man will be coming to the Switch next Thursday on November 22. For those that don’t remember, Ms. Splosion Man is a platform game and is the sequel to 2009’s Splosion Man. You play as the titular Ms. Splosion Man as you blow your way through level after level.
As for what will be included in the Switch version, Twisted Pixel listed the following:
-
50 single player levels
-
50 multiplayer levels
-
Now runs at a blazing 60fps

Honestly, I totally forgot Ms. Splosion Man even existed until I saw this announcement today. I used to adore everything that Twisted Pixel put out back in the day and I’d love to see them re-release more games just like this, preferably on the Switch. Seriously, if you haven’t played this one for yourself then I highly recommend it.
