UFO 50[/url], the dizzyingly ambitious fictional game compendium from the creator of
Spelunky, landed on PC last year, a Switch port felt inevitable. We’ve had to wait nearly 12 months for that to happen, but it’s finally here.</p>
<p>Rudely shadow-dropped into a sizzle reel at the end of Nintendo’s (otherwise largely underwhelming) <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="

Indie World[/url] showcase this morning,
UFO 50 is available on Switch (and presumably Switch 2, barring any strange compatibility issues) for $25 right now. For those who missed it on PC, you’re getting a wildly varied set of retro-styled games belonging to a console that never existed, all designed by a made-up developer called UFO Soft from the 80s. Confused?</p>

<p>The high concept fictional premise is basically just a good excuse for the six modern-day indie developers actually responsible for the game to pay tribute to the 8- and 16-bit games they remember so fondly. The included games span just about every genre of the era, from platformers and puzzle games, to turn-based strategy, pure arcade titles and bafflingly fully-fledged RPGs.
UFO 50 really is a remarkable achievement, and the Switch is the perfect platform for it.</p>
<p>The end of the game’s PC exclusivity could mean that Xbox and PlayStation ports will also arrive at some point, but it arrives on Switch as a console exclusive for now at least. </p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at
