Cotton 100% is a fantastically fun game. The stages are way too short, though, and that’s a drag given the $14.99 price tag. But is its price a show stopper? That’s up to you, the consumer. Still, Cotton 100% is silly, entertaining, and gives a decent challenge to beat. Review: Cotton 100% (Nintendo Switch) Very Good Cotton 100% is a fantastically fun game.

For a console shmup from 1994, Cotton 100% has held up exceptionally well with its distinct style and enjoyable magic-based gameplay.Cotton 100% gameplay video → Panorama Cotton Review Switch ★★★☆☆ The same year that Cotton 100% released, a silly spin-off game also came out in the form of Panorama Cotton for Sega Genesis. Without a doubt, Panorama Cotton is clearly a take on Sega's classic arcade rail shooter Space Harrier.

Cotton 100% is a classic cute shooter that still holds up, comparing well with the best of its peers. Sure, it’s not massively innovative or long, and there are enough slowdown issues to make it feel like we should mark it down to Cotton 50%. But what’s here is pure, retro shooty goodness, and we latch onto these kinds of experiences whenever we can.

Märchen Adventure Cotton 100% tells the story of Nata de Cotton who comes across Silk, a fairy who’s looking for help as the world fell into darkness. At first, our little heroine is uninterested in helping the fairy in need until Silk tells her that giant Willows, Cotton’s favourite candy, is waiting for her at the other end of the darkness. Without hesitation, Cotton changes her tune and she sets out along Silk to find the cause of the darkness. Cotton 100% is a 2D horizontal shoot’em up, or shmup, where players, playing as Cotton on her flying broom, navigate levels from start to finish killing every possible thing in sight and avoiding enemy projectiles in order to survive.

A solid port of an important game in the series. It’s just a shame that it’s not that interesting mechanically. Still, it’s a fun time and the quality of life additions make it a lot more approachable to newcomers.

Cotton 100% is a very good port of a pretty niche game, but it does have some stuff to iron out. The original game is here fully intact and still just as fun as ever, but the buggy visual options, the weird lack of any toggle for the epileptic, and the current lack of a translation make this port feel a bit rushed. The game is still a worthwhile play, and controls like a dream with a SNES controller, but considering how this game’s a whopping $15 and requires that you wait to even understand what’s going on, (unless you can read some Japanese like I can) I honestly find it tough to recommend this port of Cotton 100% at this point in time.
