Reference excerpt

Vitamin Connection is a 2020 action-adventure game developed and published by WayForward, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. It was released on February 20, 2020, to positive critical reception. Limited Run Games distributed limited physical versions of the title.

Gameplay Players take control of one of two characters, Vita-Boy and Mina-Girl, who use the microscopic Capsule Ship to fight off viruses and other enemies hosted within the Sable family, which makes them ill. The ship itself is controlled with an individual Joy-Con and motion controls, which are used to control the ship and execute attacks. Main levels are navigated using the tilt controls of the Switch. Various "sub-games" are also present throughout the adventure.

Development The game was announced on August 13, 2019 in a press release by WayForward. The title was always intended to be a Switch exclusive, with the team stating they were impressed by the system's hardware upon receiving a development kit and wanted to create a game tailored towards the console's unorthodox capabilities. Development officially started in 2017, but funding difficulties stalled progression on the title and for a period forced the team to work on other internal projects. The game was heavily inspired by Jet Set Radio and the Katamari series, specifically with respect to their focus on a creativity, a distinct artstyle and the emphasis the games place on their soundtracks.

Release Vitamin Connection got its first trailer in January, 2020, and was announced to have a release date of February 20, 2020 as a downloadable title on the Nintendo eShop. The game received a limited physical release by Limited Run Games alongside Mighty Switch Force! Collection, and Mystik Belle for a "WayForward Day." Standard editions went up for a two-week pre-order period beginning on January 17, while a collector's edition was limited to 2,000 copies.

Reception

Vitamin Connection was generally well received by critics. Review aggregator website Metacritic gave the game 80/100, based on ten reviews. Nintendo World Report gave the game a 9/10, praising its gameplay, content and style, though did offer some criticism towards the backtracking the game featured. Jon Mundy of Nintendo Life gave the game an overall positive review, praising the visuals, co-op gameplay and the variety that the game offers. However, he mentioned some criticism regarding the controls and the game's frequent use of backtracking.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vitamin Connection

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vitamin Connection claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vitamin Connection before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vitamin Connection ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vitamin Connection

In research: Vitamin Connection appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vitamin Connection in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vitamin Connection is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2020 video games, Action-adventure games, Cooperative video games, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vitamin Connection outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
