Switch Blade | Piko Interactive Collection 1 | Game 15 of 20 | Evercade Handheld
An action-platforming epic with exploration and run-and-gun elements. Switch Blade will shock you with its minimalist approach to gaming mechanics. Don't worry - it results in a really cinematic, exciting game that sports Hollywood narrative elements and even bits of anime and manga as well. Set in a dystopian world. Switch Blade is about a quest to obtain the Fireblade sword and retrieving the 16 pieces that comprise it.
It might not hurt to keep track of things you have to do and even make a rudimentary map or key to the dungeon as you explore.

This game appears to be broken, the first one I have come across, that with several attempts, both on the big screen and also on the small screen on handheld only refused to get any further than what you see here. I have had a few issues with some on the big screen, especially with connection on the HDMI cable, but always get them working in the end usually. I am interested to know if others also have the same issue with this one.
