When Trombone Champ got here out on Steam final September, it was met with rapid internet hooplah. It’s a rhythm recreation like Guitar Hero, solely you’re enjoying an unforgiving, brassy trombone. In the event you can’t get the hold of the sport, you’ll be met with a comically terrible trombone rendition of basic songs like “Auld Lang Syne” or a Beethoven symphony.
Now, this rootin’, tootin’, horn blowin’ recreation is coming to Nintendo Switch on Thursday. In accordance with the trailer proven on the Nintendo Direct livestream, gamers can use two completely different strategies of joy-con movement controls to play the trombone, which is able to solely result in extra hilarious failures. In a single management mode, you possibly can transfer your hand together with your joy-con prefer it’s the slide in your trombone that you just’re pushing backwards and forwards. Or, you possibly can simply transfer the joy-con up and down. It’s very harking back to motion-controlled Wii video games, which have been a bit tough to grasp.
Not everyone seems to be so terrible at Trombone Champ, although. Some individuals have modded the sport to enter hilariously tough songs like “Megalovania” from the cult basic Undertale (see: certainly one of my favorite videos on the internet). As one YouTube commenter stated: “Web rule 100: if it exists, there’s a Megalovania of it.”
And a few individuals genuinely do love the sport — a reviewer from PC Gamer earnestly said it was a recreation of the 12 months contender.
“It’s not typically I paste a brief video of me enjoying a recreation into the PC Gamer work Slack and different writers instantly purchase it on Steam,” the evaluation reads. Lastly, these of us with out PCs can get in on the motion.
On Steam, Trombone Champ sells for $14.99, with an aptly named growth pack for $3.99, referred to as “Wow I Would possibly Refer To This As Tooting: The Trombone Champ Soundtrack Assortment Vol. 1,” a play on the “Wow Now That’s What I Name Music” collection. The pricing is identical on the Change, however the growth pack just isn’t at the moment obtainable.
Ultimately, it’s time to reside our brassy desires. It’s most likely tougher to mod Trombone Champ on the Change than on PC, so we’ll must make due with the 50-ish obtainable songs.
