It’s not much of a story, and I think it’s more of a kid-friendly way to have people injured at places like a sawmill and the beach without having to show any actual injuries. You take control of a pair of somewhat clumsy paramedics who must travel around a quaint little town that looks like something from Paw Patrol, and rescue “dizzies”, that is, men and women afflicted by the actions of the mysterious villain currently lauding it over your town and frying people’s brains for reasons best known to himself. So when I discovered The Stretchers, a surprise release that just sort of appeared in the eShop all of a sudden, I was immediately attracted to the multiplayer element, a chance to play with the kids, instead of stuffed into the 3×3 crawlspace above my wife’s wardrobe where I normally go to play the Switch in peace. Naturally, being the sucker I am, that means I don’t get to play it as much as I’d like. Despite an abundance of consoles and devices, those hands usually make a grasp for the Switch. Like in many households with a few kids close to their teens, mine often sees me trying to mediate between a gaggle of demanding hands who all want to play on something at the same time.
