Old School Musical Nintendo Switch Review – Nostalgia Trip
Old School Musical is a fun and engaging rhythm game that offers a great throwback to a host of retro titles. As well as looking great (when you can watch the background!), the soundtrack is one of the best you'll have heard from such a small developer in a long time - featuring 50 original chiptunes tracks that will inevitably remind you of other titles. A perfect game for on-the-go gaming on the Nintendo Switch and still enjoyable to simply sit down with, the only problem being that some of the comedy can feel too forced, random or just fall flat. Still a title that's more than worth your time.

Old School Musical wear it's inspirations on its sleeves, but manages to find its own path. There's a lot to do beyond the main story, and with different difficulty modes (which you can change at the start of each level) there's a lot of game to see here. While it isn't without its faults, Old School Musical is absurdly fun, and worthy of a place in any Switch owners library who fancies themselves a fan of music.

There just aren’t enough good old-fashioned rhythm games these days. Old School Musical, just released on Nintendo Switch and PC, hopes to change that.
