Inti Creates has announced that its retro action-adventure title Divine Dynamo Flamefrit will launch on the Nintendo Switch on 21st November 2024.
Originally revealed as an April Fools' joke that actually turned out to be real (okaaaay..?), Flamefrit sees you traverse a top-down world in which you battle enemies, solve puzzles, and cut grass in a way that would make Link green(er) with envy. Y'see, launching a fire attack against a tuft of grass will cause the rest of the field to immediately catch fire and burn to a crisp. It looks so darn satisfying.
That's not all, though. Flamefrit includes mechs. Oh yes. Jumping into your mech (officially named 'Flamefrit') will shift the action to a first-person perspective, allowing you to directly block attacks with your sword before launching a counter-offensive against your enemies.
Here's a look at Inti Creates' official description:
Divine Dynamo Flamefrit is a 2D action homage to the games and anime of the '90s. Players control hero Yuto Hino in top-down action stages, and climb aboard the giant robot Flamefrit for first-person boss battles. You’ll need to master both gameplay styles to restore peace to the fantasy realm of Hologard!.
Yuto won’t need to journey alone, however. As you make your way across Hologard, you’ll meet your lost friends along the way. Each of them will offer a new magical ability to assist your journey, and will even join boss battles in their Divine Dynamos!
Let us know in the comments below if you plan on grabbing Divine Dynamo Flamefrit on the Switch when it launches next month.

Oh, I am definitely into this one! Looks great!
Ooo the Wataru homage game! I’d nearly forgotten, so thanks for the reminder. I’ll look around for a physical edition. Or wait, wasnt this a bonus game bundled together with that Card en Ciel game??
Off to research…
Edit: yes, indeed, in Japan at least, Flamefrit is a pack-in game on physical standard or limited editions of Inti’s Card en Ciel game, which came out last week. Looks like Flamefrit hits the eShop as its own title on Nov 21, but if you want it physically, importing Card en Ciel from Japan may be the only recourse.
Inticreates is consistently good, oftentimes great. I'll definitely keep an eye on this one.
You ever just hear a title and know exactly who the publisher is?
Nice to have a release date for this (and even more so since it's coming relatively soon), looking forward to playing it when I can!
Here's hoping for an option to switch back to the Japanese voices.
@Teksetter Yeah. At least the eshop version is already on sale for 10% off if you want to settle for it.
That actually looks quite fun. Ha.
I almost forgot about this game! Will be getting it. Thanks for the reminder!
I'm hype for that one. Zelda-like, with early 2000s anime aesthetic and with Goemon Impact fights. It's right up my alley.
@DjinnFighter
yeah the first thing i thought of when i saw those mech bosses was IMPACT.
(i also remember initially renting that game and it didnt come with the manual so i had trouble on that first impact fight since i didnt know the special moves, bought it later, would buy the heck out of a collection!)
@riderkicker
Yeah the seiyuu for the Japanese version sound great! Almost makes me wonder if they recruited any voice talent from the Wataru anime.
I’ve got a Japan shipment pending anyway - maybe I’ll just pick up this with the bonus Card en Ciel game, since I don’t really mind if they lack English.
It's only like 6 smackers too. Easily grabbing this.
"Originally revealed as an April Fools' joke that actually turned out to be real (okaaaay..?)..."
Pokemon Go wants to talk with you, XD
@riderkicker
Speak for yourself, I love those cheesy English dubs. They have a certain charm to them.
Day 1 purchase. Looks fantastic.
Looks like it would be right at home as a DS game, which isn't a bad thing.
Was already sold but the fact it's only £5.89 makes it a no brainer.
@Mgalens GORGEOUS! AH-ah IMPACTO! D-D-DASH!
In case anyone's wondering, Inti Creates is the developer of these series:
I'm looking forward to this. Good ol' Inti-Creates. And it's cheap too.
