Here’s Why Penny’s Big Breakaway Is AMAZING On Nintendo Switch!

We have been keeping a secret from you - I’ve been playing Penny’s Big Breakaway (as showcased in the Nintendo Direct) for over a week now a thanks to Private Division who have sponsored us to basically dish you with all the info on this the launch day of the game! On the plus side, it’s so very good and on the negative side your backlog might have to just leave the room for a while! Why? Let’s find out! #Pennysbigbreakaway #Nintendoswitch #New #sponsored

PSA: I did have to use a couple of video shots from my Steam deck (where I just didn't have the footage on Switch) for things like the main menu and also one or two moments where I only had footage there but other than those it's Switch footage.

I’ve played a few levels so far and I can tell this game is dangerous. The controls are so fluid and I can see myself getting real addicted to trying to speedrun levels. It’s amazing.

A "breakaway" is also a key "unresponsive" yoyo trick in professional yoyo-ing.

This was the only game in the showcase that I was genuinely excited for, and of course you guys have covered it immediately. Brilliant!

[thedaveaftertomorrow]

Surprised (or not) no one is mentioning NiGHTS as a reference point for this - it looks like it has the same amazing elasticity and pure, all out, mental, fun

"I think I finally understand that old saying of an 'earworm', because Penny's Big Breakaway has some incredibly catchy tunes."
*cuts to brain rot circus music*

Glad to see that despite the giggles we'd had at the names and not sounding particularly iconic, this game has turned out well. Thanks Gents!

Side note: Another Crab's Treasure is set to be released on the 25th April and I've been so excited about another Soulslike and hearing this one is really good, I am incredibly keen. Might I hope for a full SwitchUp review of it?

One of my highlights of this partner showcase, along with Another crab's treasure and Ender Magnolias!! God im so excited for the last one.

Anyway im so glad Penny has the switchup approval seal, im definitely gonna add it to my wishlist since it's a little bit expensive for me right now.

Thank you for the review guys!!

[BunchaNothin]

I didn't realize Penny was being released today!!!! This has been at the top of my wishlist for a while. I love sonic mania, and this looks like so much fun. The music reminds me a lot about sonic, which I love. So excited to play this game.

[BillScott-rcbu]

I was not expecting this at all and it looks absolutely wonderful and full of fun. Just what a game should be,

[LongLivePhysical]

Art style and heroine reminds me Mischief Makers on the 64

[popjorts]

This looks like a ton of fun. Glad you guys got to do this, and they definitely chose right by selecting you for it.

[HeavyMetalSonicRM]

4K/120fps on PS5 is what's amazing.

[WriteThisHeart]

Been really excited about this one! Looks awesome! THanks for the great review!

[hughlingard]

i absolutely love the aesthetic of this game; it just really hits all the right notes.

[maku_watches]

Cheeky chap! I had a feeling you’d have a vid on this and very happy you did.

Get some Billy Hatcher, Nights vibes

[Christophoronomicon]

OK, yet another game on my wishlist! I'm usually not one for momentum-based games, but this looks so fun I can't help wanting to play it!

[Voidhorrn]

I hope this one gets a physical, cause it certainly deserves a spot on my shelf

[jess]

I don't play platformers often anymore, and I still need to finish Mario Wonder. But this looks fun, I'll keep it in mind for the next time I'm in the mood for a new game in this genre. The art style looks so cute and I like all the character models a lot.

[jemmadavies]

I was so excited for the direct, always love a good shadow drop!

[HOTHEADstudios]

I've had my eyes on this one but wasn't too sure about it. So once again you guys have secured another purchase from me😁 Looks fun although momentum based games are a hit and miss for me but I'll give it a chance once a sale arises. Excited for Grounded and Epic Mickey to hit Switch next month. Happy gaming👍
