TRON: Catalyst’s I/O Tower Now Available for Switch Users

“My user calls. May I pass?”

Okay, so Flynn might be making a comeback? Could be. Guess we’ll find out when October rolls around. Meanwhile, what’s really happening? Big Fan (you know, part of Devolver Digital) and Bithell Games just dropped a little something called TRON: Catalyst on the Nintendo Switch. If you’re into isometric action games, you might wanna give it a whirl.

Picture this; you’re in a TRON world—a bit like that 2010 TRON: Legacy vibe. Basically, it merges these time-loop mechanics (big brain time) with super cool combat bits and a story that’s all about a digital realm left to rot by its maker. Grim much? They threw in a launch trailer to hammer the point home.

Let’s dive into the plot a bit—players step into Exo’s shoes. She’s this courier gal, just doing her thing, until some mysterious box goes boom! Just like that, she’s got these incredible powers beyond the norm. And then—BAM! She’s tangled up with the Arq Grid’s “peacekeepers.” Name sounds official, but you know how that usually goes. It’s a race against time to peel back the mystery of this grid.

Now, about what TRON: Catalyst throws at you:

Time-looping Action: So, Exo’s got these rewind powers, thanks to something called the Glitch. You mess up, you learn. Kind of like life, huh? Anyway, navigating these feuding factions is the name of the game, and you’ll be poking around for secrets in a world that’s, quite literally, glitchy.

TRON Combat: Think fast-paced battles, where you’re taking on beefy enemies. You’ll be hopping onto Light Cycles too—zooming around for missions and piecing together info to push Exo’s dangerous journey forward. Oh, and there’s Disc Kicks. Really, who doesn’t love a good Disc Kick?

A Fresh TRON Tale: Exo’s gotta figure out this sketchy Glitch that’s shaking up the Grid, all while dodging Conn, this nasty agent dude from Core. Escaping ain’t gonna cut it; she’s gotta break free from the loop.

Get Lost in Discovery: Imagine, wet streets… inside a computer? Makes you wonder, right? The whole place is an exploration dream with neon lights and all that jazz. The Arq Grid stands out—pure digital eye candy. And they didn’t skimp on the music; it’s all synths and electronic beats to set the mood.

Rain-soaked digital streets though? Seriously, curious how they’re gonna play that off.

TRON: Catalyst’s up for grabs in the Nintendo eShop, priced at $29.99. Hit up bigfangames.com if you’re itching for more details.
