Night in the Woods hitting Switch Feb 1st
- Thread starter Bandage
- Start date
Oof, that big again even on Switch? Granted, that's half the size it has on PS4 - but that's most likely because most UE4 indie games double their size after the first patch on that console.
Anyway, I still wonder what they dev team did to get such a bloated size? Night in the Woods is a fine game with a great design, but it doesn't contain any FMV, no voice tracks and 2D graphics surely can't take up that much space if you use any kind of compression?
Or maybe the indie direct is the rumored direct for thursday?
Whoa, how have I never heard of this?! Everything I'm reading and seeing sounds right up my alley. I'm in on Thursday.
"No fascists at this party!" Lol

Awesome! I'd been holding off on replaying to see the new content in hopes of grabbing it on Switch soon.
Yeah, I'm curious about this as well. The text bubbles in the trailer were reminiscent of it. I really enjoyed that game on Switch over the Holidays. If this is similar, I'll pick it up.
great news
a few days ago i was taking a look at the eshop looking for it, for some reason i was 100% sure that it was already out.
well, day one for sure!

The dialogue and characters are much better written in this, but yes it's generally quite similar.
imo, if you don't wanna be all "you can't compare two open world games because slight differences in design* about it, it is definitely in the same wheelhouse. Personally I much prefer Night in the Woods. The writing is seriously great.
Hmm this. Goty discussions got me interested and switch is perfect for convenience
Microsd cards can be found for next to nothing these days. I think I have a small pile of 128GB cards next to my computer thanks to the absurd sales lately. :)
Outside of dialogue its mostly platform based exploration and a ton of goofy one-off minigames
This game is 100% based on the strength of it's story, music, and visuals. If you don't care for stories in games, you probably won't care for this. I do think it's one of my favorite narratives in games.
Like 6 hours i think? You can't see everything in one playthrough though.
Maybe not for you then? Gameplay is very light. Most of the game control I guess could be described as 2D platforming but you're really just walking around the town and occasionally jumping on roofs and whatnot, but that's all in the name of exploration and not for any sort of benefit other than to find a hidden story bit. Your character is also in a band so you sometimes play a short rhythm game along to their songs, and you trigger a bunch of other random mini games by hanging out with your friends and exploring, they're funny and novel but Mario Odyssey this is not. This is a game for people who are okay with just doing a lot of reading, people who can get fulfillment out of character development where they won't get it through satisfying mechanics.
I'll buy this just based on how much Alex Navarro from Giant Bomb seemed to love it.
It really feels like there was supposed to be a Nintendo Direct and the arrangement got reconfigured at short notice. Between the mini direct, Scribblenauts Showdown, this, Nintendo Selects, and the rumoured Thursday video release, it just feels like Nintendo decided not to do it.

Top 5 game for me last year, but I don't think I'm going to double dip unless there is going to be a physical version, which it sounds like there's not.
