James Pond Codename RoboCod @ Nintendo eshop for Nintendo Switch

James Pond, one of the true gaming legends, returns for his greatest adventure yet in Codename: RoboCod. With scores of mind bending levels, cunningly hidden rooms, topped off with some of the best cartoon-style graphics around makes James Pond – Codename: RoboCod on Nintendo Switch a true collector's classic.

Urgent communication: James Pond – Codename: RoboCod has got himself embroiled in some very ‘fishy’ business indeed, involving his arch-nemesis, the notorious super-villain…Dr Maybe!

James Pond launches himself back into battle, to thwart the evil Dr Maybe and his dastardly plans for world domination. With help from his amazing new robotic suit, James Pond must traverse bizarre worlds, jumping, squashing, climbing, stretching and squishing Bouncing Bears, Crazy Cadillacs, Whirling Dervishes, Chocolate Mountains and not forgetting devious and wacky ‘end-of level’ Bosses!

    Bought, thanks. Will probably never play it. Like every other Switch game I think I need. And the Switch.

    Came here to ask that very question

    Cake, hammer, earth, apple, tap.

    Good find, had this game added to my watchlist as I wasn't going to pay £10 for it and can see it had never dropped in price. Gonna hook it now

    Perfect timing, I felt the same @ £9.99 with some points I had, got for £1.31, love the Xmas feel to the game, brings back great memories

    Wasn’t this on PS1? Might’ve been one of the first games I played!

    best to emulate the amiga version; the switch version has issues & is not rated highly

    I've played the Switch version a lot and found it fine. It's certainly worth £1.99.

    Used to play this back on the mega drive as a wee yin, the trailer brings back so much nostalgia

    Wow this brings back memories!

    My mum used to buy a pack of penguin biscuits with the weekly shop, every week. In the early 90s, Mcvities were running a promotion, find a golden ticket under the wrapper and you win a Mega Drive with a copy of this game. Imagine my sheer delight as an 8 year old boy to find a golden ticket one day!

    In my hurry to set up the console, I was plugging in the scart cable round the back of the TV, and it fell onto the mega drive, breaking the power switch. I still remember to this day, my mum calling mcvities and complaining that the console was faulty and wouldn’t turn on. They sent us a new one no quibbles! That’s customer service for you.

    I spent many a happy hour playing this game. I remember there was a jelly level, and if you jumped at the right angle, you could make JP bounce infinitely off two walls. I think this was the first ever glitch I found in a computer game, you couldn’t escape without rebooting (and losing your progress). 

    Thank you for posting this. It brings back wonderful memories. Time to dust off the Wii and get RetroArch running.

    That was an awesome story! That's exactly what my Mum would have done if my console tragically broke on day 1.

    Old school gaming..
  11. dilatedpupils's avatar
    Had this on Amiga 500 and ate a lot of penguins that year!
  12. M3NDEREZ's avatar
    Oh my God! Immediate purchase!
  13. John59's avatar
    126MB! Wasn't this on a 720KB disk on the Amiga?
    vornstar13's avatar
    You haven't taken into account inflation.
  14. deleted791810's avatar
    thanks op
  15. Graxer's avatar
    I literally found out that it existed on the switch a week ago, but wasn't going to bother due to the price and play my Game Gear copy instead. Now I will be getting it. Thanks OP!

    Oh man....just started playing it and the port is not good. The sound effects and music have all changed and it feels like you're playing a flash game. 49063709-linMR.jpg

    Were you used to the MegaDrive version… that one had a better Christmas soundtrack.
  17. jasonjay100's avatar
    I remember playing James Pond 3 Operation Starfish on the Megadrive

    I think it's the best of the James Pond games
    James_Harking's avatar
    Yes, the Super Mario World of the James Pond "franchise."
  18. Chewkungfu's avatar
    £200+ on a console to play this? Yes!
  19. xxbluedragonxx's avatar
    I’d buy that for a squid!
  20. Stefarno88's avatar
    Just beware that this is not a good version of the game at all.

    And on top of that they replaced the penguins.
    jakethebeagles's avatar
    Penguins with seals I hope? (edited)
  21. Piranha_Plant's avatar
    Finally at a reasonable price!
  22. Piranha_Plant's avatar
    It’s a shame the physical edition is just a code in a box.
    I would’ve loved to have had this on cartridge.
    james0909's avatar
    i asked me son earlier on phone what kind of things u like games etc as i bought him a switch but xbox wd been good as more games One of the things he said he liked is anything with same name . was thinking to by physical for that reason to.

    Any way of buying this without having to be on the Switch? It’s wrapped under the tree already!
    Mac46's avatar
    Just buy online from the Nintendo eshop

    Excellent. This is on the 2 for £20 with Argos. And it's still a download code. No brainer. Purchased. Thank you
  26. lee_Hudson's avatar
    Thanks Bought for price but preferred 1st one
  27. SolihullFox's avatar
    Been waiting for a deal on this!! Loved this game on the Amiga.
  28. Robsy128's avatar
    I remember this in my sister’s Sega Megadrive. I’m sure I played it, possibly when I was about 3, but I don’t think I got anywhere. The images bring back some memories!
