Jurassic Excite

About

Jurassic Excite is a chaotic arcade brawler where you wield a magical hammer to whack rampaging dinosaurs. The premise is delightfully nonsensical: swing the weapon left or right to hit targets, dodge obstacles, and rack up points. Controls are simple but responsive, letting you mash buttons or use Joy-Con motions for extra flair. Each stage throws increasingly absurd challenges at you, from timed sequences to boss fights, with a focus on quick reflexes and goofy teamwork. The real charm lies in its local multiplayer modes. Up to four players can team up or compete in the same room, turning couch sessions into competitive mayhem. Shaking the Joy-Cons to power up adds a tactile layer that feels surprisingly satisfying. Released in late 2019, it’s a niche pick for Nintendo Switch owners who enjoy frantic, short bursts of action. While it won’t win any design awards, its unapologetic simplicity and social gameplay keep it memorable for party groups.
