At the Indie World event, it was revealed that the beloved platformer Pizza Tower is finally playable on Nintendo Switch, marking a surprise drop where the game is available right now. This title, which feels like a Nintendo game, is a frantic 2D sidescroller heavily inspired by Wario Land, Mario, and Sonic games. Playing as the balding chef Peppino Spaghetti, players must scale the titular tower to battle a sentient pizza resembling the Bowser of Italian food. Created by McPig with a soundtrack by a high school student, Pizza Tower excels in gameplay with perfect movement and polished platforming akin to Nintendo quality. With fully-realized abilities and speed reminiscent of Sonic, Peppino’s inability to die allows for daring platforming experiments. Overall, this indie game miracle is a thrilling addition to the Nintendo console, showcasing the development team’s dedication and talent.
