Outright Games is back with another family-friendly platformer as Nick Jr. Party Adventure is bringing some familiar faces to Switch on 11th October.
In case the title hadn't already given it away, this one is all about introducing little ones to the wonderful world of puzzle platforming. Played either solo or in two-player local co-op, Party Adventure will see you guiding characters from iconic Nickelodeon pre-school series through a series of themed worlds, interacting with objects to reach the goal.
Those who know their Nick Jr. will spot characters from shows like PAW Patrol, Dora, Blue's Clues & You!, Santiago of the Seas and more in the above trailer. It also gives a pretty good indication of the game's difficulty, so you can eye up whether this will be a good one for your little one — or as a more chilled platforming experience for you, of course.
You can find the game's official summary and some screenshots below.
Prepare for the biggest party of the year in either solo mode or with a friend or family member in up to 2 player local co-op. Players search out an abundance of exciting collectibles hidden throughout each of the themed worlds, from Fiesta Flowers and Pup Treats to bright balloons and glowing shells. With a variety of familiar faces making an appearance, including Santiago’s first- ever feature in a video game, players can solve puzzles to explore the Nick Jr. universe in 72 fun levels across the six different themed worlds. Players can interact with objects that bounce, boost and teleport players to new discoveries, and avoid the obstacles from notorious Nick Jr. characters including Swiper, Crusher, and Mayor Humdinger.
Okay, it might not look like it's reinventing the wheel, but with the likes of PJ Masks, Bluey and Peppa Pig already in game form, we know there's always room for this sort of thing on Switch.
Will you be teaming up in Nick Jr. Party Adventure this October? Let us know in the comments.

I know a certain middle-aged man who is going to go absolutely bananas over this.
Eh, probably not gettin this one. There was a little bit of me that was a bit interested as I unironically enjoy Bubble Guppies and Blue’s Clues & You but it’s probably gonna be a game you finish in 90 minutes. Probably gonna look up a LP for this one.
(Also, psst, Outright Games, call me up, I have a pitch for a Bubble Guppies rhythm game that will sell like hotcakes)
Yaaay...!!! 😃😃😃
Another 3rd party kids games by Outright Games.
I will get the PS5 version. 😁
Basically Captain Toad for Babies, which was a nice surprise, as seeing the name Party, I thought that was another Mario Party clone.
@SillyG Nick Jr is just for you, too?
@CammyUnofficial : cough inside joke cough
@SillyG Literally the 1st person i thought of when i saw this
@SillyG if there’s anyone who doesn’t know who you are on about, they need to spend more time on here 😂
It's kind of insane how many Nickelodeon games have released this generation. This one, the upcoming Rugrats game, All-Star Brawl 1 and 2, Kart Racers 1, 2, and 3, the TMNT arcade collection and the new TMNT game, SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom and Cosmic Shake, Avatar: The Quest for Balance, and probably even more I'm not thinking of. There was also a SpongeBob mobile game that got a Switch port.
I'm not sure how many people know this, but Nickelodeon also owns the rights now to not just Garfield but also The Smurfs. If we count those, that's like... close to 20 Nickelodeon games on Switch. I honestly really appreciate that Nickelodeon understands what a big market the gaming industry is and is pursuing it aggressively. It's just a shame they're always so hit-or-miss.
The SpongeBob games by THQ are always solid, but Outright Games tends to release broken messes and games published by Game Mill can go either way. Avatar: The Quest for Balance has a game-breaking bug on Switch where it wiped my save file when I was close to the end of the game. I don't think they ever patched it, and when I emailed the devs' support team about it, I never got a response. Very frustrating stuff.
Outright Games, publisher of this one, had a similar problem with Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchairidian where the game would crash every time I beat a certain boss and was unable to progress beyond like five hours into the game. It shouldn't be legal for these companies to get by with this stuff.
It's especially a shame when the games have a lot of potential but just needed a little more time in the oven or a slightly bigger budget instead of being rushed out as a broken mess. I enjoyed my time with the Avatar and Adventure Time games until I ran into game-breaking bugs. These multimedia companies need to understand that we love their IP and that video game adaptations can be a massive success if they're just willing to put in the time and the money.
Battle for Bikini Bottom sold millions of units, not just because SpongeBob is a popular brand, but also because consumers recognize it as a QUALITY product. Avatar: The Last Airbender is now a financial juggernaut for Nickelodeon, probably almost on par with SpongeBob now, but I don't know of anybody who was dumb enough to pick up the Avatar game like me. Brand recognition alone doesn't guarantee a sales success. The Avatar game could have sold millions, too, if they actually cared about the product they were making.
I didn't expect to type this long rant under a Nick Jr. post, but you know me, lol. As another aside, I wish Cartoon Network would pursue the games industry as aggressively as Nickelodeon. Give me a new kart racer with Johnny Bravo, the Ed boys, Courage, Billy & Mandy, KND, Foster's Home, Chowder, Flapjack, Over the Garden Wall, Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, etc. Throw in some more obscure shows like Camp Lazlo and My Gym Partner's A Monkey while you're at it. (We can leave out Clarence and Uncle Grandpa, though.) I would be all about that.

I don't have any issues with Outright Games on PS4 / PS5 version.
The games played very well.
ACAB includes Paw Patrol
