Today's Nintendo Direct Mini revealed several new games coming to the Switch in the near future, and it also acted as a springboard to provide more details on remakes and remastered editions for popular sagas, such as Pac-Man Re-Pac and Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection. This specific Nintendo Direct was also a partner showcase, and one of the games being announced was Blanc — a cute co-op adventure that follows the story of a wolf cub and a fawn, published by Gearbox. The gist of the story in Blanc is that the wolf cub and the fawn run into one another at a time when they're both in distress, as a heavy snowstorm separated them from their respective families.
The animals are an unlikely pair, but they still seem to develop a tender friendship throughout the game, and they end up using each their own strengths to keep exploring the snow-covered land in search of their families. With this in mind, Blanc's puzzle mechanics combined with cooperative gameplay make it quite reminiscent of the award-winning It Takes Two from Hazelight Studios, which allowed players to use the characters' abilities to their advantage while progressing through the stages. On the other hand, Blanc's setting and its protagonists are also very much akin to those of an old Disney animation movie called The Fox and The Hound, which featured a peculiar pair as its lead characters.
