Nintendo Releases Free Switch Software Kao Luigi and Kao Peach
Nintendo is extending the My Mario line, which already includes a Mario face app and picture books and blocks, into free Switch software built around short, breakable play sessions rather than a full game.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
Nintendo began distribution of the free download software Kao Luigi and Kao Peach for Nintendo Switch on October 6. Both titles are part of the Mario-themed children's product series My Mario. Players poke, pull, and spin the characters' faces, and can touch the ? Block in the top-left of the screen to bring up items such as the Super Mushroom, Super Star, pipes, and enemies. Luigi and Peach fall asleep when tired of playing.
Kao Luigi and Kao Peach are downloadable from Nintendo Store and Nintendo eShop at no cost, and both sit under My Mario, the Mario-themed product series aimed at children and parents.
The interaction is touch-based: poke, pull, and spin the faces for different expressions, or touch the leftmost icon in the menu to play peek-a-boo. Touching the ? Block in the top-left brings up icons for items including the Super Mushroom, Super Star, pipes, and enemies. Both characters fall asleep when tired of playing and cannot be played with while sleeping, which Nintendo presents as a guide for taking a break.
