Release Date: December 12, 2017
A compilation of thirty minigames, developed with multiplayer mode in mind, although you can play them on your own as well. The bundle includes rail shooters, shoot'em ups, 2D platformers, and arcade games requiring good reflexes.
Party Planer for SWITCH is a compilation of minigames by Polish studio Teyon Games, known for e.g. Urban Trial Freestyle 2 for Nintendo 3DS, Zombie Defense for Nintendo WiiU, and Rambo: The Video Game.
Party Planet features thirty minigames of various genres, which you unlock as you progress. The first game is Viking Defense, a rail shooter, in which you defend the shore from the Viking invasion. Another is Mystical Totem, in which you control a group of Inuits working on totems falling from the sky. Hopper Jump is a classic platform game, Fruit Invaders is a shoot'em up, and Super Vegan Anaconda was inspired by the grandfather of all video games, Snake.
Other games in the bundle include: Bouncing Fish, in which you play as a fish bouncing off the sides of the screen, avoiding various obstacles (such as randomly appearing spikes), Block the Bug, in which with a limited supply of stones you have to block the path of the eponymous bug moving on a map divided into hexagons, and Fennec Fox Tower, inspired by Icy Tower, in which you try to reach the highest possible point of a never-ending tower before you drown in the rising waters.
The minigames in the Party Planet bundle were developed with a local multiplayer mode for up to four people in mind. You can, however, play on your own, although the more players there are, the quicker you can unlock more content.
Party Planet for SWITCH features pleasant and colorful 2D visuals in a cartoonish style.

Game Ratings for Party Planet Video Game.
Nindie Spotlight: 7.5 / 10 by Nindie Spotlight
When Party Planet was announced I’ll admit to feeling some level of nervousness. Game packs like this have a history of crashing and burning critically even while they may be widely purchased by families in search of something to play together. I’m happy to report that overall I found the collection of games offered to be pretty impressive, even if often derivative, and fun to play both solo and with the family. The diverse selection of games should, in terms of both style and skill required, practically guarantee that there will be something that just about anyone, no matter the age, should enjoy.

I definitely recommend that you get Party Planet on Nintendo Switch since it's a very fun and colorful party game that is great for playing with family and friends. The variety in games means there's certainly a game or two that some players will love above the rest, while also having a handful of favorites on the side.
Hardcore Gamer: 3 / 5 by Jeremy Peeples
Party Planet succeeds at offering a lot of variety in one package, but the quality of the games wildly varies.
