This review of Tongtong is filler content. Not really a game I care about, just exists so that this site has content on it. I doubt anyone will even read this review. The reason I say that is because this isn’t a game. It’s a glorified slot machine. The game claims to be a storefront arcade game from 1987. The only reference I can find to it is this screenshot from the eShop. Google turns up nothing because the real name of the game is in Japanese and not TongTong.
The image above spells the game out. Spend medals, choose an animal, if three or more animals appear, you win medals. If you collect seven pandas on the side, you play a bonus game. You basically get all of TongTong in the below video, minus the bonus game:
That’s TongTong, its a kids slot machine, which begs the question, why was this released here in Switch form? Was anyone clamoring for this? I doubt it. This is a filler game, designed to take up space in the eShop, but nobody actually buys it, because its stupid and pointless. It is also glorified gambling sold to 80s children, but that’s a completely different issue. This is not worth buying, not worth playing. Heck, I’m not even going to write 300 words on this cause I really don’t care about it. This is filler content, after all. Tongtong gets a Not Recommended with a three back-end score(because cause it works).
Overall: Tongtong is a kids slot machine from 80s Japan. Devoid of its arcade cabinet roots, it is a complete waste of time and money.
Verdict: Not Recommended
