If you are like me and you feel that, when it comes to wacky rhythm-based games for the Switch, there really aren’t enough, then good news! Mr. Records has now had its Switch 2 version confirmed.
Mr. Records, if you’re not aware, has you play as an old, retired man who lives above a record shop that he has just opened. In the evenings, he purchased new records and plays them, bringing himself into a world of the music.
And that music, predictably maybe, is a bunch of rhythm puzzles that just feel like they gel together. It’s a cool experience, with different vibes on each track. Once a new record is added to your collection after you’ve successfully played it, you can then sell it during the daytime in your shop.
This is done through recommending the record that someone wants to them. The more records you have, the more challenging it is to make sure that each individual gets exactly the record that they are looking for.
Although Mr. Records isn’t out yet, the team behind it confirmed – while at Gamescom – that it’s coming to Nintendo Switch 2! This announcement came alongside a new trailer where you can get to know George, Mr. Records himself, and see the core gameplay loop of the upcoming rhythm game.
While at Gamescom, I got to try out Mr. Records for myself and really felt that the game was polished and smooth. I like the break between rhythm and shop keeping and feel that Nintendo Switch 2 is a great choice for this type of game.
Mr. Records doesn’t currently have a release date, but when it does release it will do so for PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
