Mad Bullets Kit for Switch - includes downloadable switch code in box game

Product Information

There has been various attempts at reviving this style of game with Wii-motes and Playstation Move controllers, but non truly captured the speed and flickering white screen accuracy of the genre pioneers.

Mad Bullets is one of the first light gun shooters I’ve played on the Nintendo Switch up to this point. A stray bullet will inevitably hit one of the innocents – they get in the way a hell of a lot – when a bullet does connect, you’ll lose health, represented by a sheriff badge. There’s no point spending time on the controls as we’ve already covered them, so let’s look at the graphics.I must admit, a handful of times I purposely shot the odd bartender who just so happened to step out into the middle of a gunfight.

We opted for a strategy of ‘you take the left side, I’ll take the right’, but the continual bullet slipping through or your partner shooting an explosive that takes off some health means it gets a bit of a free-for-all and everyone for themselves. My niggle with this was incoming projectiles on the far left or right of the screen as when reloading, the reticle would go back to the centre, and you’d eventually take a bullet to the face. I really do miss those as you can’t really replicate this type of game on a widescreen TV accurately, but the joy-con is your next best bet, and it works quite well. These are usually highlighted in a green glow, and you must avoid shooting them otherwise you’ll lose one of your 3 Sheriff badges which represent your health in Mad Bullets.It’s in a first-person perspective, similar to games like Lethal Enforcers where it’s like you’re on a conveyor belt, only without the duck and cover mechanic. I couldn’t take screenshots or video capture anymore as when you’re using one Joy-Con for singleplayer, the other one becomes inactive straight away.
