<p>Qubic Games and The House of Fables are bringing <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/mini_trains">Mini Trains</a></strong> to Nintendo Switch next week, a port of <strong>Trains VR</strong> which launched on Steam last summer.</p>
<p>The game features 40 puzzling levels where you must build the perfect track for your model trains; the goal is to collect stars on each stage, but some of them might be a little tricky to get your hands on. You’ll need to keep an eye on each train’s route, avoid collisions, and learn from your mistakes.</p>
<p>Of course, with the Switch only supporting VR when using the <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/nintendo_labo_toy-con_04_vr_kit">Nintendo Labo VR Kit</a></strong> – and therefore not having it as a standard feature – that part of the game has been removed. Instead, the VR experience has been transformed into what Qubic Games describes as a “more accessible way” to play with a new isometric camera which allows players to have a wider view of the stage. You can see how it all looks in the trailer above.</p>
<p>Here’s a list of the game’s main features:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>– Unique toy-like graphics, with isometric camera and option to take a closer look at the details from first person view;<br />– 40 levels, each with multiple solutions so you can find your own way to complete it;<br />– Many tools to deal with puzzles – switches, turntables, and tunnels. Use them to solve logistical problems;<br />– Childhood dreams without buying all expensive railway sets, on your console.</p>
