Back for one more round

It may bethe end of the road for the PlayStation Vita’s hardware production, but that isn’t going to stop Sony’s handheld from grabbing a few more releases on its way out of the door. Case in point, Bromio Games’ surrealist adventure titlePato Box,which is getting a physical edition for both the PS Vita and Nintendo Switch.

For those of you who missed it last year,Pato Boxtells the story of a fallen boxing champion who takes his double-fisted vengeance to the mega-corporation that ruined his career and left him for dead. Oh, also, he has a duck’s head. Anyway, Pato must fight his way through a series of pattern-recognition boss battles, in gameplay that recalls the greatness of Nintendo’sSuper Punch-Out!!
