I'm... probably gonna buy this! Game looks stunning and I've always wanted to try it. Now I need Halo and the Outer Wilds in terms of Xbox stuff on switch I wanna try
As if Nintendo of all companies has a shortage of mascots....
Cuphead is confirmed for a physical release in 2020.
I'm surprised we haven't gotten a thumbs up or thumbs down on Ori yet. Seems half the thread is asking...
Oh man i played through and 1000/1000'd the original Ori game. Then the definitive edition came out and i did it all over again. Am i going to triple dip and play through the game for what will probably be my 6th or 7th time? It's looking highly likely.
Anyone with even a vague interest in the Metroidvania genre who has a Switch but hasn't played this game needs to shove it right at the top of their to-do list.

I am completely stoked to finally be able to play this!
Crazy thing is, I've owned Ori on Xbox for a few years, but it just got buried by schedules, other games, and it's been on the backlog for far too long. The thing about the Switch is that I have the freedom to play it in short bursts unlike most games I set aside time for on the consoles.
Your clear passion for it is truly getting me hyped!
That is awesome news.
I'll totally get Ori again for the Switch.
thomasmahler just one more question if you can share; will the file size be the same as other platforms? it was 11 gb if I remember correctly.
Yes, but we don't when if it will have them at launch and if it will be a new list that doesn't tie into the existing achievements on PC/XB1.
I do wonder the same.
I'd love to get it physical.
Remember seeing this quite some time ago and didn't even realize that it was an XBox exclusive (on consoles) until now. Well it's not going to be exclusive soon, but anyway.
I might actually pick this up now as it's readily available on a system I own and apparently it's also a great game. I love me some Metroidvanias and similar games.

I'm 100% going to get this because it looks beautiful and is so highly regarded. Although I am a bit worried it will be too hard for me :/
It's not that hard. It doesn't even have bosses. The most frustrating parts are escape sequences, of which there are only a handful. You'll be ok. It's a good game.
It's a challenging game, but one of the core mechanics is the ability to create a respawn point almost anywhere in the world. Ori is a game almost anyone should be able to play through, despite its difficulty.
Ah great, thanks! I just don't get to play as much as I'd like and am by no means a strong gamer. Really excited to get on this though!
Wait... Does Cuphead have XBL achievements on Switch? I've been playing it and seeing that it says "achievement unlocked" but I don't remember signing in with my XBL account.
No, the achievements in the Switch version of Cuphead are in-game.
Glad so many more people get to experience this gem. Finished twice (original and deluxe) but will no doubt pick this up again on Switch.
This is what I'm wondering. I could have sworn they said Cuphead had a confirmed physical coming. (I'll hold out for both this and Cuphead, provided they get a set physical date.)
This announcement makes me very, very happy. I will be there Day 1.
But I can't help but wonder, what is Microsoft's goals here? Cuphead and Ori were the two games I wanted most on X1 and the two games that were actively pulling me to buy one. Now I'm not going to.
So I wonder, are the software sales revenue really worth it for Microsoft? Is it just a good-will thing? Is it to build franchises that they will capitalize on owning?

I'm inclined to think it'll be the enhanced ports of Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie to line up with the Smash DLC coming this fall. But yeah, Halo will be after that.
I can confirm that this is the case, and in the indie world video, the encoding messed up the framerate and frame pacing for a lot of games in that line up.

You guys are the best! Congrats on this becoming available to a bigger audience, I will double dip no question. This was one of my games of 2015.
What was the dlc? I played the game when it first came out but don't remember ever seeing dlc
Not sure if it means anything to you but I personally did not enjoy Hollow Knight as much as everyone else but I adore Ori! I can confidently say that you will enjoy Ori!
Sounds like (beautiful Coker) music to my ears!
Fantastic job by you and your team..!
I am extremly happily double dipping come 27th september :)!
And I hope to see some video's the coming days from the showfloor??
YES. This and Cuphead were my most wanted Xbox games haha. Waiting for the physical for Cuphead, hopefully this gets one too but I'm in either way.
Nothing official but I imagine it will be the same base price as the digital PC and Xbox One versions ($20 USD).
