OSAKA, Japan – Nov. 4, 2021 – Super Sami Roll, the upbeat 3D platformer created by Sonzai Games and published by X PLUS, has launched on PlayStation 5 and Switch!
Inspired by ‘80s and ‘90s platformers like Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball where players roll a ball through beautiful game worlds, Super Sami Roll effortlessly delivers the high-rise thrills, rolling hills, and adorable characters reminiscent of gaming’s golden days. The game’s console versions are a match for the original Steam release – and the Nintendo Switch port runs at a silky-smooth 60 frames per second.
In Super Sami Roll, you need to get through 12 fun-filled hours of content to help Sami rescue his friend Vera from a meanie who calls himself “Albert VII.” Cruise past beautiful green fields, deserts dotted with magnificent pyramids, dangerous oozing volcanoes, frigid ice lands, and many other memorable places to take Albert VII down a peg ... or two (yep, Albert V sounds about right!). Grappling hooks? That’s so 2020. In this game, you get a grappling tongue to get out of sticky situations!
“Finally! Being on a Nintendo console and Sony’s PlayStation 5 is a dream come true for someone like me, who grew up in the ‘90s,” says Sergio Matta, CEO and lead developer at Sonzai Games. “We spent quite a bit of time making sure it controls superbly whether you play with Nintendo’s Joy-Cons, the Pro Controller, or Sony’s DualSense. Super Sami Roll is very much a console game at heart.”
