Critic Reviews

KORG Gadget Review - Review - Nintendo World Report

nintendoworldreport.com

KORG Gadget for Nintendo Switch cleverly transforms music creation into a playful, collaborative experience with its intuitive interface and fun gadgets. The multiplayer aspect is a unique delight, allowing up to four players to craft music together. However, the software is hampered by a reduced number of gadgets compared to other versions, and the inability to import or export creations is a significant limitation. While it's an enjoyable tool for making music, the lack of sharing options and limited gadget selection hold it back from being truly outstanding.

KORG Gadget Review (Switch eShop) | Nintendo Life

nintendolife.com

Korg Gadget for Nintendo Switch offers a unique approach to music creation with a playful array of synthesisers and drum machines. While the software is fun and innovative, particularly with its co-op feature and motion controls, it stumbles with significant limitations. The inability to import or export songs and lack of MIDI controller support are glaring issues, especially since these features are available on other platforms. Despite its depth and potential for creativity, it ultimately feels isolated as a music production tool. This makes it more of a novelty than a serious DAW for Switch users.
