Ori and the Blind Forest DE getting a demo on Switch tomorrow (Sept 20th)
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Devs releasing demos like this one is fantastic, thanks to Moon Studio for all the efforts you've put behind this port!
I've never played Ori so I'm downloading the demo right now, I hope I'll like it.

Nice to know the demo runs so well. I'll probably skip it and wait for the full game. I'm really looking forward to playing it!
Dear Thomas Mahler. Physical release ja oder nein? I mean people are clearly asking and you can see that there is demand.
Not ignoring these posts on purpose, I just honestly don't know. It's in Microsofts hands.
Danke Thomas
Let's all go and bother Microsoft for a physical copy.
Played it just now, it's got one of the most gripping game intros to date. Elegantly sets the tone, does some tutorial stuff and gets the story going. And the way audio, art and gameplay complement eachother during the entirety of the demo is just unreal. Very inspiring.
Suffice to say I'm looking forward to the full game very much!
Wow. Videos do not do this game justice. The game feels like controlling a cgi cartoon or something it's crazy. And buttery smooth. Beautiful on handheld.
And since there's no physical version I got a custom case. :)

Oh, I thought it was confirmed we can login to Xbox Live and collect Xbox achievements? The demo only has cheap menu icons as "achievements". A little disappointing.

I have the kind of brain worms where I am like "should I buy this a third time?" when I could just... turn on my xbox.
Switch is killing it lately. By the time I finish my backlog, the next Nintendo console will be out.
It will be as if you're continuing to play the same game, just the full version: everything including the play time will just transfer over and continue.
Xbox Live is not available in the Demo but is fully available on day one in the full game. You will get Xbox achievements and leaderboards if you're logged into Live. For those that won't be using Live you will have a nice little Achievement UI built into the game itself :)
As someone who's already played Ori within the Xbox ecosystem, how does this reflect on the Achievement list? Is this a new set, or combined with the Xbox One version?
I love the idea of Xbox Live perks on Switch. Congrats on being the first game after Minecraft to have the feature implemented on Switch!
I feel ashamed saying this but I actually forgot how amazing this game is. It's well over 2 years ago when I picked it up on steam and the demo got me mesmerized. I think what I really realize now is how amazing the game feels for a game that has such stunning visuals. You don't see often where devs do both and nail both to perfection. Just everything about this game is so well done and I think the demo got me more excited about the sequel with it reminding me. I am going to buy this to do a replay in the mean time because the demo made me wanna do it once again
That's interesting.
The question is now, since you can take the savegames to the full version, can you get the already unlocked achievements working in the full version too, with the demo savegame?
That's why I thought it's only the pictures in the pause menu because you already unlock them, without Xbox Live.
thank you! you guys really went above and beyond for this port, and the demo was the cherry on top.
i was busy with link's awakening tonight, will def try the demo tomorrow, it's already downloaded.
you're probably thinking of the sequel, ori and the will of the wisps
That's Great news particular with save transfer. Already downloading the demo and playing through it. Had a laugh with the bolded because really shouldn't have to. Absolutely plays so well thus far. Decided to skip Link for this instead to play through.
i had heard and read nothing but good things about this game and now that i played the demo i understand why. Its a beautiful game and it runs like a dream on the switch, props to the team for the great job and i appreciate ya'll for bringing it to the switch, im sure this will sell really well.
i know it is a meme and almost a parody now to say it, but it is a great fit for a portable/hybrid console :p what a gem

As someone who only ever played the game on Steam by way of either my 24-inch PC monitor or 15-inch laptop, I've gotta say it's a glorious day to finally experience Ori blown up on my 60-inch TV. Looks and runs like a dream.
Already pre-ordered and pre-loaded for next Friday.

We thought folks will enjoy getting the achievements again on Switch so you get a new set of achievements for the Switch version with Live.
Everything you do in the demo version should transfer over to the full version, including unlocked achievements with Live or without. They will be granted to the Live account once you log-in, even if you had unlocked them prior.
wait for digital foundry contranetwork isn't allowed here and isn't reliable at all
I really should beat Hollow Knight before getting this, and I already own this on my bad laptop, but it only runs 30 FPS on there, so if it is 60 on the Switch, I'll take the plunge.
I only played a little before, but this game is rad.

if i'm not mistaken their tools aren't that reliable, plus they use pirated or leaked games for their analysis. i don't doubt the game is perfect 60fps, but it's best not to give that channel views.
Hey, Hi!
First of all, congrats on the game, i really loved when i first played and will be double dipping on the switch. I dont know if you're allowed to answer this but...how hard it was to port to the switch? Or the process was fairly smooth?
Your team is amazing. Thank you for going above and beyond on this one. Day 1 - and I'll be telling everyone I know with a Switch to get it. Very hyped for this release.
Such a strange time to see a "Microsoft"-published title on the Switch, but still, it makes so much more sense on a Switch and I'm happy your team were able to bring it over for us.
Thanks so much for the demo, Tom and team. I'm glad demos are making more of a comeback on Switch, growing up without a lot of money a lot of times demo discs were all I could get to play, so not only is it cool that people can try out the game first but there's probably people out there who will play the demo a lot just because they enjoy it. It's a really cool thing that you devoted resources to it and it's appreciated!
This was my first experience with the game and I enjoyed it, it's very pretty and seems to run at a locked 60fps during gameplay. I'm super busy right now so I probably won't buy it now, but it's definitely on my list, if it were physical I would have impulse bought, though.
Not only does it look and run great but the music and sound design is a *chefs kiss*
What a perfect game for the switch. It's a day uno.

I had a quick go of the demo last night, got through the intro and sampled a bit of the gameplay. Wow, what a beautiful game, has to be one of the best opening chapters I've experienced. I'll be buying this on Friday.
Looks like I'm going to be getting my first Xbox Live achievements in 5 years, never expected to do so on a Nintendo Console. Crazy.
