In conclusion, Sonic Mania Plus on Switch (NSP update patched) is a love letter to classic Sonic fans, with enough updated content to justify a revisit. But for everyone else, it might be a more complicated sell. If you're willing to overlook some frustrating difficulty spikes and dated presentation, you'll find a challenging and nostalgic platformer that still holds up today.
7.5/10
Sonic Mania Plus, the enhanced version of the 2017's Sonic Mania, has finally made its way to the Nintendo Switch, and I'm left wondering if this NSP (Nintendo Switch Package) update is truly worth the nostalgic dive. For the uninitiated, Sonic Mania is a throwback to the classic Sonic games of the 90s, with its fast-paced levels, catchy tunes, and (occasionally) maddening difficulty spikes. sonic mania plus switch nsp update patched
