Review: Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San - Get Ready To Party Like It's 1989

AA batteries not included.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Game Boy, 23-year-old French developer Christophe Galati began development on a game. On 29th September 2014, the first prototype of what would later become Save Me Mr. Tako: Tasukete Tako-San was released. Four years later, the game found a distributor in indie mega-publisher Nicalis and is now launching on Nintendo Switch. After having played through this indie effort, it's clear that it's a loving homage to Nintendo's venerable portable in ways too numerous to list without taking a deep dive. It's a good thing you're here, dear reader, as that's exactly what we plan to do.

The terms 'love letter' has been thrown around a bit too much for this reviewer's taste in recent years, but Save Me Mr. Tako is exactly that. The attention to detail is amazing. The first and most obvious thing players will notice is the fact that the game is presented in four colours, just like it would be were it launching on the original Game Boy. If you'd like to add a pop of colour, tapping either shoulder button will shift the palette, much like one could on the Game Boy Color. If you were more of a Super Game Boy player, you can also add borders to your screen to mimic that functionality as well. No matter how you played Game Boy games back in the day, you can recreate your experience here.
