WAKU WAKU SWEETS
SCORE: 75
Earlier this year I reviewed WAKU WAKU
SWEETS on the Nintendo 3DS. Now I am reviewing it on the Nintendo
Switch. Sonic Powered Co sent Family Friendly Gaming a digital download
code for WAKU WAKU SWEETS on the Nintendo Switch just like they did for
the Nintendo 3DS. This is a downloadable only cooking game. At least it
is downloadable only in the US.
WAKU WAKU SWEETS is a 2.2 gig download. Which is pretty big in my
opinion. I feel when any game gets over one gig in size it should be
released in the physical copy format since there are many families who
have limited download size on their plans. Asking struggling families to
pay more to do digital downloads is not a viable solution in my opinion.
Plus there are many families who only buy physical copy games and
companies will miss out on their sales.
The Nintendo Switch version of WAKU WAKU SWEETS may look a bit better on
a larger screen. Ultimately this is the same game on the Nintendo 3DS.
Which brings up a very interesting topic. WAKU WAKU SWEETS is selling
for $12.49 on the Nintendo 3DS as I write this review, and WAKU WAKU
SWEETS is selling for $39.99 on the Nintendo Switch. That is quite the
price hike. If you played WAKU WAKU SWEETS on the 3DS would you want to
pay that much more to play it on the Switch?
We have a fairy that is there to grant our wish in WAKU WAKU SWEETS. The
problem is this fairy has no magic because people are not happy enough.
How do we make them happy? We make deserts for them. We take recipes and
follow along to make the deserts. What is our wish? To make the best
deserts and make people happy. As we get good at the game we make the
wish come true ourselves. Why is the fairy there then?
WAKU WAKU SWEETS is more than just a cooking game. We get to know
different characters, and we can change our outfits. There are multiple
different control schemes allowed with WAKU WAKU SWEETS. Using the
Joycons in our hands is the best way. The easiest way is to leave the
controllers on the system (in hand held mode), or with the controller.
Girls can get into WAKU WAKU SWEETS way more than boys. Which is cool
because we women appreciate video game companies that provide games for
us. I wish more video game companies thought of publishing games for the
female side of the family. I enjoyed my time with WAKU WAKU SWEETS on
the Nintendo Switch. I hope to see more games like WAKU WAKU SWEETS in
the future.
