What to Expect from Bluey: The Videogame on Nintendo Switch
Outright Games has unveiled the exciting details. Bluey: The Videogame is categorized as an "interactive sandbox adventure." What does that mean for you and your little ones? You'll get to step into the shoes of the show's favorite characters—Bluey, Bingo, Chilli, and Bandit. And there's a cherry on top: the game supports four-person multiplayer, making it a perfect family bonding experience.
You won't just be aimlessly wandering around either. Bluey: The Videogame sets out to offer a treasure trove of locations straight from the TV series. Plus, there are specially designed minigames such as 'Keepy Uppy' and 'Magic Xylophone' to keep things interesting. As if that's not enough, there's a new four-part storyline to dive into.
Trust us, more Bluey is always a good thing.
Authenticity Matters: Voiceovers and Original Scores
Now, if you're a purist when it comes to adaptations, you'll be pleased to hear that the original English-speaking cast lends their voices to the game. That's right; your favorite characters will sound exactly as they should.
On the musical side, the game features tracks from Joff Bush's original score for the series. So, not only do you get to play Bluey, but you also get the full immersive experience.
A Perfect Gateway for Young Gamers
While it's true that Bluey: The Videogame isn't rewriting the rulebook on video game innovation, it does serve a meaningful purpose. It's a thoughtful entry point to introduce young fans to the gaming universe. The developers have even incorporated a slew of accessibility features to ease the transition. This includes an on/off toggle for the UI and easy-to-follow on-screen instructions that accompany the voiceover. So, even if your child is new to gaming, this title is designed to be as welcoming as possible.

Why You Should Care, Even if You're New to Bluey
If you've been missing out on the Bluey phenomenon so far, it's high time to catch up—seriously, the show is too cute to ignore. Personally, as a proud Pup Dad, I sat down to watch the show with my little guy for a few minutes. I think(?) he watched it the whole time (he didn't crawl all over the couch, so I'd chalk that one up as a win)!
So there you have it, folks! Mark your calendars for November 17th and prepare to enter the world of Bluey like never before. Whether you're a seasoned Nintendo Switch player or looking for that perfect game to bring the whole family together, Bluey: The Videogame promises to be a delightful addition to your gaming library.
