Damn. Crazy to see that Switch logo sitting there opposite that XGS logo. I knew people were super overreacting to those phil spencer comments. Dude never said more games weren't coming.

Played it on PC with Gamepass earlier this year. So happy it gets introduced to more players now. Challenging gameplay, combined with beautiful visuals, music, and pretty emotional sequences. Amazing game.

Didn't he say it was going to be on a case-by-case basis and just because they have released games on the Switch doesn't mean every game will be? It seems to me like he was just managing expectations.

What was the general consensus on this versus the first one? Things that are better, things that are not as good, etc.

I feel like reception was mixed for some reason, could be wrong.

I hope that a non-collector physical edition is available soon, or at least, one european edition. With the customs, shipping a big package like this from USA, that cost $150, would be really expensive :(

The CE is gorgeous but a biiiit more than I want to spend, I have the vinyl for both games so that'll suffice for me.

Probably going to buy Ori 2 digitally on Switch though, considering I played on Gamepass already it'll be nice to "own" it somewhere.

Our tech team has been optimizing the hell out of it for almost half a year - and yes, it's 60fps and it's glorious! :)
Can you say if the physical version is only via iam8bit? Skybound Games posted the trailer, so is it possible they're doing a regular physical release? You said last year we'd get one for Ori 1 on Switch. Was the iam8bit one you meant by that?

Nice, I'll double dip, I played on a not so well equipped PC and it hampered the experience a little.

Is this better than Blind Forest? I played that last year and enjoyed it for the most part, but I thought the platforming could be really annoying with trial-and-error segments.

Literally a masterpiece. Cannot believe they've gotten it running on Switch in the first place.
Bought the collector's edition immediately, don't even care about the price, it's stunning

... I'm not exaggerating if i say that the Ori games are imho the best games in Microsoft's catalogue. They're so incredibly well crafted.
It was so thoroughly enjoyable that i didn't actually mind those mini-freezes on the Xbox One S ...

But for a sequel, they really need to add a number to the title - i always forget which game ("Will of the Wisps" or "Blind Forest") is the original and which is the sequel.

I was hoping for this to release on Switch like the Ori DE, but ended up playing it on GamePass for PC last month. I will absolutely double dip on this game just to have it on Switch.

The collector's edition is nice as well, but not for $150 when all I want are the games, so I'm glad that it sounds like there will be a physical release of them separately.

Really? Last time I checked out the Xbox One X version (around 2 months ago) it still wasn't stable and had the same framerate problems all over the map and on the same problematic places, despite you guys saying that in every patch.

Maybe now it's fixed, I don't know, but it wasn't for a long time and I don't know if I trust you again for the Switch version. :D But I want to...

By the way, since we get that now physically on Switch, what's up with the first one???

Edit:

Ah I'm dumb, the collectors has both, damn, so tempting.

Fucking hell yes!

Have been waiting so long for this port. The footage in the trailer looks to be a very stable 60fps. Could be very selective footage, but I'll be interested to see a Digital Foundry breakdown of this port as both the One S and even the One X struggled with frame rate.
