‘Postal: Redux’ Headed To Nintendo Switch on October 16th [Trailer]
The original Postal was a different beast from the rest of the series. Aside from using an isometric overhead view, the game didn’t have any of the humour that the subsequent entries contained, and bordered on being mean-spirited. That being said, it was running up against the original Grand Theft Auto, so what’d you expect?
Postal received a makeover back in 2016 in the form of Postal Redux, which was announced recently as headed to the Nintendo Switch on October 16th. Packing new high-definition visuals, remastered music and all of the previously-released add-ons, the Switch version will also include a new Rampage mode, where you’re awarded points for sustained kill streaks, creative methods of destruction, and “blistering fast action”.
If you’re unfamiliar with Postal, the game centres on The Postal Dude as he fights to survive in a world gone mad with violence.
You can also grab Postal Redux on Steam.
