Something to chew on

One of the more unusual games I checked out at last year's Tokyo Game Show was the multiplayer Ninjala for Nintendo Switch. Its cute characters and bright colors may seem reminiscent of the Splatoon franchise, but Ninjala swaps out that series' paint with weapon-generating bubble gum.

To get swords, hammers or bats to pummel each other, players need to blow a bubble with their gum (the bigger the bubble, the better the weapon). Using their mastery of the gum, they can even run along the sides of buildings and perform other daring feats.
