[Review] Toree Saturn on Nintendo Switch

Sure thing, here goes:

So, Toree Saturn, right? Who’d have thought Diplodocus Games and Siactro would whip up this speedy little 3D platformer to add to the series. Are you in? ‘Cause you should check out my thoughts on this Toree Saturn game. Honestly, I wasn’t even ready for what I found out next.

After going through Toree 3D, Toree 2, and oh boy, Toree’s Panic Pack, curiosity got the best of me. Okay, so you jump into Story Mode and bam, there it is: Toree’s the hero we’re rooting for, Hawkee’s the thorn in his side. What a classic match-up, you know? And dang, the vibes of the late 90s and early 2000s are real with this soundtrack, lyrics and everything. It’s like they knew exactly what we’d want to jam to. Seriously, that music is something else!

(Side note: picture this — the game just dropped you into level one, and you almost get lost in the nostalgia. Love it and hate it at the same time.)

Here’s the deal, all you gotta do is move from start to finish, simple? Maybe not. You’re running, jumping — double jumping, yeah — trying to be the speedster of your dreams. Do you rush the level, or take it slow and scoop up all those collectible stars? Maybe I went for the “catch ’em all” route (but honestly, who’s got the time?).

Control-wise, it’s as simple as using that left analog stick. A, B buttons for jumps, you know the drill, right? Oh, and don’t forget the homing dash – it’s a lifesaver when you’re after those big stars for extra spunk in your jumps. Smash down with ZR for a speed dive if you’re feeling adventurous.

And listen, Toree Saturn is definitely picking up some love from the SEGA Saturn era — it’s in the name, go figure. It’s now strutting its stuff on the Nintendo Switch for five bucks. A steal if you ask me.

Anyway — wait, no — wrapping it up… Toree Saturn’s out there being this unexpectedly fun speed-based trip with tracks that just slap. Toree vs. Hawkee, I mean, it doesn’t get better than that. It’s a fun ride.

Oh, and as always, full disclosure: had a Nintendo Switch copy on hand thanks to Diplodocus Games.

Who knows what’s next? But for now, Toree Saturn’s got my thumbs up.

There we go. How’s that?
