TRON: Catalyst’s I/O Tower Now Accessible to Switch Players

Alright, so check this out — TRON’s making a bit of a comeback. Or maybe it never left? Hard to say. But whatever, here we are in October, and the buzz is all about this game, TRON: Catalyst. Weird thing is, it’s coming from Big Fan and Bithell Games, and now you can snag a copy for your Nintendo Switch.

Here’s the deal: you’ve got this whole universe from TRON: Legacy. Remember that movie from 2010? So this game sticks you in some kind of glitchy, worn-out world — a digital wasteland that its creator sort of just… ditched. And they teased all this visual chaos in their new trailer. Not that I usually pay attention to trailers. Well, sometimes I do. But anyway, this one’s got my curiosity piqued.

The story is a trip. You’re this courier named Exo. Picture this: you’re just going about your job, and bam! The mysterious package you’re delivering blows up. Surprise! Now you’re packing some wild powers. But the real kicker? Those grid ‘peacekeepers’ are on your tail, all “find out what’s going on with this Exo person.” You’ll be racing around, trying to piece together the grid’s secrets. Sounds intense, right?

So here’s what you’re in for:

• Time-Loopy Stuff: You can rewind time. Mind-bender, huh? You’ll relearn things, choose different paths, and all-around McGuyver your way through digital chaos. Ever tried time travel? No? Well, this is your shot.

• Classic TRON Smackdowns: Think epic battles with enemies (there’s a lot of ‘em). You’re on foot, being all agile and stuff, and then — bam — you hop on a Light Cycle. I was never a great cyclist, but they make it look kinda smooth.

• Unwrapping New Stories: So, there’s this “Glitch.” Not just a name — it’s like a real problem. Plus, you’re dodging this Conn character, who’s a piece of work, apparently. Breaking loops and whatnot isn’t on my usual to-do list, but it’s all in a day’s play here.

• Digital Street Roaming: Picture neon lights, rain-soaked avenues within the computer realm. It’s all very techno and atmospheric, with synth music driving the mood. That’s probably the kind of soundtrack I’d want on my workout playlist — when I remember to work out, that is.

The price tag? Just about $29.99 over on the Nintendo eShop, if you’re down to dive in. This isn’t just gaming; it’s a whole digital jaunt into the TRON cosmos. Who knows if any of this makes sense, but hey, maybe it’s worth a look. Check bigfangames.com if you’re curious.
