Gameplay

Paw Patrol: On a Roll is a side-scrolling video game in which players assist the PAW Patrol by acquiring dog treats and helping animals. Animals are helped by approaching them on the opposite side of the screen. [2]

Development

When Paw Patrol: On a Roll was first announced, a Nintendo 3DS version was listed alongside the other platforms; however, it was not mentioned in later trailers or promotional material. [3] A month before launch, Outright Games stated that the 3DS version had been postponed indefinitely due to "transfer issues." [4] At some point in the following years, the port was quietly canceled.

In 2021, Outright Games indirectly referenced the 3DS port when asked about it and revealed that all of their development resources had been moved to the Nintendo Switch. [5] In 2024 when asked again, they cited the shutdown of Nintendo Network as a contributing factor of the ports' cancellation, even though the game had no online features and the service ended six years after the initial delay. [6]

Reception

Rock Paper Shotgun called it "grimly perfunctory and dreadful". [2]
