This Switch 2-Exclusive Co-Op Game Is A Retro Anime You Can Play
Of all the new games announced at The Game Awards, the Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive Orbitals might just be the most charming thanks to its retro anime aesthetic.
Orbitals is a two-player co-op adventure, where players step into the roles of Maki and Omura to save their home from a supernatural cosmic storm. Aside from showing off the game’s gorgeous ’80s anime-inspired visuals, Orbitals’ debut trailer also highlights how Maki and Omura will traverse space and work together to solve puzzles.
In one example of how the game’s co-op will work, the trailer shows one character piloting a spaceship while another operates the ship’s turret. Another portion of the trailer highlights one of the duo using a levitating beam to help transport some important piece of a puzzle, while the other navigates a series of dangerous platforms.
