We have to say, though, it looks a lot more polished than many of the pretenders to the throne we see round these parts. Here&#8217;s a few of the features from the official PR blurb:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>UNLOCK RUSTY\u2019S POTENTIAL &#8211;<\/strong> Our hero begins his adventure with just a trusty sword and basic shield, but he\u2019ll soon unlock \u2018Spirit Powers\u2019 \u2013 spectacular abilities which allow Rusty to, at the tap of a button, he can harness the powers of Fire, Ice and Time.<br \/><strong>EXPLORE REGALIA &#8211;<\/strong> Rusty\u2019s adventure will take him to the desert town of Zameris, high over the ice-laden Peaky Peaks and into the Cursed Swamp, among many others. Encountering a colourful cast of characters along the way.<br \/><strong>ENEMIES ABOUND &#8211;<\/strong> From General Windpipe to The Watcher and many more besides, peril is never too far away.<br \/><strong>SHOW YOUR SKILL &#8211;<\/strong> Combat is fast and fluid, and platforming a dream, with Rusty\u2019s repertoire of acrobatic moves effortless to pull off. Playing the hero has never felt so rewarding.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Switch1\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/88e2643598797\/switch1.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/88e2643598797\/switch1.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Switch1\"><\/a><a title=\"Switch2\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/fb6fdb59a7509\/switch2.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/fb6fdb59a7509\/switch2.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Switch2\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Switch3\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c0b63f3f2a38c\/switch3.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c0b63f3f2a38c\/switch3.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Switch3\"><\/a><a title=\"AKQ ScreenShot DateAnnounce (1)\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6aae9c709a76e\/akq-screenshot-dateannounce-1.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6aae9c709a76e\/akq-screenshot-dateannounce-1.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"AKQ ScreenShot DateAnnounce (1)\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Despite the bright colours, goofy enemies and jaunty, toy town look of things, the snowy areas actually brought to mind <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gamecube\/legend_of_zelda_twilight_princess\">Zelda: Twilight Princess<\/a><\/strong> as we watched the trailer.
