The Nintendo Switch version of retro-tastic adventurer Minit will launch on August 9.

Developed by Vlambeer, Minit adopts a classic NES Legend of Zelda-style aesthetic, but with a twist: Your duck-like hero only has 60 seconds to explore, solve puzzles, and battle enemies before snuffing it.

While this may seem grossly unfair at first, you keep all your items gathered from your last point of death, allowing you to effectively continue where you left off.

It's then a case of methodically pushing forward a little more each time, uncovering new areas and obtaining extra items with each minute-long lifeline. I watched Colm play it a few months back, and it's actually a bloody good game brimming with challenge and intrigue. 

Minit was originally released on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One back in April.
