Still, better late than never! It&#8217;s a fun little game that we enjoyed when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/reviews\/switch-eshop\/xeodrifter\">we reviewed it<\/a> back in February 2018 (and on previous Nintendo consoles) &#8211; check out the trailer above if you need a refresher.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t pre-ordered this one but like the look of it, there are still copies available from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redartgames.com\/nintendo-switch\/62-xeodrifter-switch-3770011615490.html\">Red Art&#8217;s website<\/a>. It&#8217;s priced at 29,99\u20ac and there were only 2800 copies produced, so we&#8217;d snap one up sooner rather than later if you can&#8217;t get enough of those bitter little Switch cartridges.<\/p>\n<p><em>It&#8217;s like the old saying: &#8220;Good things come in <em>small packages<\/em> to those who wait.&#8221; That&#8217;s definitely right, no need for corrections in the comments, please.
