Waiting has payed off. The eshop tempted me so many times, but I stood firm. And here we are. PHYSICAL ORI ON SWITCH!
Great fucking announcement. Think I'll pass on the CE, however. I'll wait for the regular versions.

Ow! I didn't know you were here! I cried like a baby in your game. And what's worse, my wife, who doesn't like games as much as I do, she cried so much too.
thank you so much for this game. I played on gamepass but I just bought for switch again. One of the rare occasions I douple dip. Please, make another game already! = )
it was $30 on XBOX and PC aswell so wtf are you talking about mate?
Aw, reading this kinda stuff is awesome :)
And yes, we're already hard at work on our next title. It'll be bananas, wait and see :D
Is this the only place to get the physical?
Edit: just ordered it, thanks for the link!

Huh? You'll also be able to buy both games as normal editions in stores later this year!
There will also be standard, individual, releases later this year.
This has certainly motivated me for down the line to get Ori 1, since I was a bit hestiant cause I didnt want to love it and miss out on the sequel. Also insane to hear it looks great
Been a boring year for nintendo announcements but has been the best year for me on an nintendo console in years lol

Does iam8bit charge immediately or when orders ship? This is the first time I'm ordering from them, I love these games and I wanna have em on switch.
The combat is improved a ton, the traversal options too, by a good amount, if that's your thing. Also there are a few fun NPCs and a village, among other things.
First one was a slow burn for me, but I dug the late-game traversal options and platforming. Now that it's available on the go, I'm in for the sequel.
I wasn't expecting to see 900p 60fps docked. I thought 720p 60fps was the limit. But you outdid yourselves, Moon Studios. Can't wait to double dip on this game someday!
Edit: Kinda sad that WotW doesn't have Xbox Live achievements while BF on Switch does. Not a big deal but hopefully it'll be added soon :)

I wasn't sold on Ori and the Blind Forest when I first started it. But as the game went on, and traversal opened up, I started enjoying it more and more. The game is beautifully designed in that the difficulty curve naturally rises with the character's abilities such that the game is always offering a steadily increasing challenge in line with new traversal options.
Most games tend to become easier and more redundant towards the end, not so with Ori. Here, you are offered new challenges and creative gameplay mechanics until the very end. The game maintains a sense of forward momentum throughout its perfectly paced runtime and leaves you wanting more without overstaying its welcome. I found it to be an excellent game by the end of it, and the fact that most people view the sequel even more favorably has me super excited.
Thanks to Moon Studios and Microsoft for making this happen!
Oh wow this is so cool I didn't think it would ever run on Switch! While I don't think it's quite as solid from start to finish as the first one it's still my GOTY for 2020, which is no small feat!
My kids are also absolutely in love with this serie and Ori, I hope Moon can find the enthusiasm to never stop making new games in this IP, one of my favorite IPs this whole gen.

It's a DKC1->DKC2-level leap imo. Basically invalidates the first game for me.
I'm so conflicted. I feel like I should click with the first one first since I already own it. Hmm. :-/
Not 100% but I remember all the people trying to cancel their No Man's Sky Collectors editions pre orders couldn't get their money back.
I loved both Ori games on Xbox highly recommend to its probably my favorite metroidvania esque game in years
I just upgraded to a new Sony 900H. So I can do Ori in 4K HDR in 120hz. Yeah I am waiting but nevertheless as a Switch owner I am happy for anyone that gets to play this game.
Really sad that Xbox Live seems to be absent it sounds like? I hope it's patched in the game in time for the retail release.
That's quite the statement. But I'll take your word for it!
Just booted it. Initial loading is long, but nice to see that it has 5.1 surround sound support (can't remember if the original supported it).
Probably because this game is published by iam8bit (even digitally), whereas the original was published by Xbox games studios.
Amazing work Moon, and enjoy the game Switch posse. It is such an evocative, beautiful, and gripping game to play.
