Part Time UFO has only been on Switch for about a month, but elsewhere it’s a much more experienced employee. Three years ago the game released in Japan on mobile as Hataraku UFO, with that eventually coming to US app stores before being upgraded for the recent eShop debut.
『はたらくUFO』のデビューとなるスマホ版の発売から、きょうで3年たったれす！
応援してくれたみなさまのおかげで、Nintendo Switch版をリリースすることができたれすよ。

To mark the occasion, HAL Laboratory has shared a new illustration featuring Jobski, the Player 2 UFO, and shopkeeper Ankh. They’re celebrating with a triple stacked cake, and note that the success of the mobile version eventually led to the Switch release – which we loved and recommend picking up in our Part Time UFO review.

When he isn’t writing for Nintendo Wire, Ricky’s anticipating the next Kirby, Fire Emblem, or if the stars ever align, Mother 3 to be released. Till then he’ll have the warm comfort of Super Smash Bros. to keep him going.
