Publisher Neowiz has launched Sanabi for the Nintendo Switch, and it honestly looks pretty awesome.
It's a pixel-art action platformer set in a Cyberpunk-inspired world with stunning neon lights and huge, imposing structures. You play as a legendary retired veteran called upon for one last job (no, not Solid Snake), and you'll be wielding your chain-hook prostetic arm to swing across the environment and cut down your enemies.
We huge fans of the overall aesthetic with this one and the animation work in particular is really well done. Plus, that trailer music.... mmm, proper chef's kiss stuff right there.

Here's a look at what Neowiz has to say:
An exhilarating platformer - Your giant chain-hook prosthetic arm acts as both a method for quickly maneuvering around and also a way to swiftly take out your opponents. With your legendary skills, you are capable of using your prosthetic arm to jump over cliffs and skyscrapers, dash through bullets and traps and defeat powerful enemies. It's time for you to come back out of retirement for one last mission.
A beautiful yet mysterious cyberpunk dystopia - Mega-city “MAGO” is a high-tech city ruled by a corrupt conglomerate… at least, that’s what it was 24 hours ago. After a sudden blackout, all of its citizens mysteriously disappeared and the city was left in total chaos. It’s your mission to explore the depths of the city and uncover what happened.
Mari, the hacker prodigy - A brilliant hacker and drone rider you meet during your mission. Mari can open locked doors, reveal enemy weaknesses and uncover encrypted information. Mari is lovely and reliable, but maybe just a little too chatty. Who knows though, this girl might be the key to finding SANABI.
Sanabi is out now on the Switch eShop for the introductory price of £9.11 / $11.99.

Just waiting for my physical copy to arrive from Red Art Games.
I was plotting on picking this up for Steam a while back, but I kind of forgot about it. It looked good, just slipped my mind. Now I'm reminded of it...
Annnnnndd that’s getting added to my wishlist….
Looks very promising. Will there be a review?
Looks cool, but what was so great about the generically "epic" movie trailer music? Basically every television commercial that isn't for some pharmaceutical uses this exact style of music. My local grocery store uses a similar song to sell produce. I think a local roofing company does as well. So what does this song do that hasn't already been done by everyone everywhere?
Damn that looks freaking incredible.
@SpeedRunRocks I just like it, is that so bad?
@Olliemar28
Not at all!
Being a musician of the more 'old-school' and 'underground' variety, I am just genuinely curious how people are moved by certain types of music.
Especially nowadays, where every style of music has been mashed together into a single entity. And then used to sell home and auto insurance.
Now that's how you make a trailer! From now on, that's how you make trailers!
Got it after reading this article. I love platformers. Played it and like it a lot. The beginning tutorial is really cute too.
Looks really cool, adding it to the wishlist for sure!
Hm, it is linear with stages or a metroidvania? I'm into either way
Probably a December purchase.
I am really not a fan of the zoomed out platformers that indies love so much. Or this artstyle. Sigh. Hope others enjoy though.
Looks amazing and it has a very fair price! I wonder if any big websites are gonna review it
