I am obsessed with this new Nintendo Switch game where you are a man who will die if he doesn’t eat sushi

I have no sushi, and I must scream.

Ever since I learned about it, I have not been able to stop thinking about Sushi Soul Universe , the only new Nintendo Switch game you should care about.

Princess Peach Showtime ? Who needs it! That pink dictator is old news, because there’s a new Switch game in town, and its name is Sushi Soul Universe. In this absolutely surreal platformer, you are a man who loves sushi, and if you don’t eat sushi you will die. Then one day, on a street corner in Shibuya, he discovers that sushi is disappearing from the world. Enter the Great Will of Sushi, and so starts a journey where you have to change the very fabric of the universe to save sushi. It is quite easily the wildest concept I’ve seen so far from a game this year, and I am absolutely all in on this bananas rodeo.

The concept might be out there, but honestly the gameplay isn’t too hard to understand. In it, you are literally just a guy, and there is a bar that is constantly going down unless you eat sushi, and if it runs out, that’s out, you’re dead. Certain levels you have to collect a certain amount of sushi, others you just have to make it to the end of the level, occasionally you’ll have to avoid certain hazards, the sushi-loving protagonist is shouting literally all of the time, and it even has its own anime opening-eseque theme; it’s got the makings of a genuinely solid platformer.

It’s also pretty cheap right now, as until April 18 it’s 30% off on the Switch eShop , making it $7, which doesn’t seem like too weighty of a financial investment that will make you laugh for a couple of hours before you decide you’re done with the joke. There’s worse choices you could make after all!
