They freaking got me to spend what I did on a Collector's Edition when I already bought Will of the Wisps XBone Collector's Edition this March

But LOOK AT THE THING

I just hope iam8bit doesn't live up to what I've heard is a terrible experience :|

How is this compared to Blind Forest? Because that game has some infuriating sections and platforming that demands highly of you with slippy controls. Is it like that?

Whoa. Seriously wasn't expecting them to get this performing well on Switch at all.

My backlog is tremendous, I have a real problem when it comes to buying games. I need help.. But I love rewarding the developers who support Nintendo consoles.

This has definitely been one of the hardest things we've ever done but I'm very happy to have you all play it so soon! We're targeting 900p / 720p.

Here's a capture of one of the more intense sequences straight from the Switch in Docked mode:

I haven't even cleared it on Xbox yet.

Will buy later today.

My wife will be thrilled.

edit: oh, it's out now? Will buy now then!!...and done. Never bought anything so fast since the Shenmue III Kickstarter.

thomasmahler, I thank you and everyone else involved with this beautiful project from the bottom of my heart.

This is my favorite Metroidvania that isn't a Metroid game.

The platforming is a bliss and I love the creativity the devs infused the game with. Also, play Will of the Wisps on hard. The bosses present a good challenge and test the skills you've gained by that point. Overall, an amazing game that needs to be played by all Metroidvania fans.

Already downloading. What a shadowdrop, I didn't expect this game to hit the Switch for a while!

Edit: And thanks Moon Studios for working hard to make it happen! The first game was a visual treat for the eyes and the framerate was silky smooth. Awesome to see y'all deliver on that front again.

The fact it doesn't seem to have Xbox achievements is a bummer. I guess it saves me $30 at least.

I was crossing my fingers for this, but didn't want to count on it given the recency of the release and how players on other platforms kept telling me what a performance hog it supposedly was already.

60fps just goes above and beyond. Deservedly the showcase closer. All of a sudden, both my schedule and SD card storage look crunched.

Ori's so good. It looks really stunning in HDR, too, if you have it on another console.

Microsoft is the best for blessing other platforms with such great metroidvanias. They didn't have to port it, but they did. I'll wait for the physical edition because I want to collect it! I need a box sitting on my shelf!
