When the concept of "not playing on PC" is beyond your understanding...

Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition Coming to Switch on September 27

Never say never. Nintendo had put Mario and Zelda in other non Nintendo platforms in the past. There was Mario and Zelda in the philips CD-I, Mario in MS-DOS, and more recently, Mario games on mobile phones and Zelda Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy on the Nvidia Shield. I can see a contract agreement between Nintendo and MS to share some of their IPs

Not gonna happen.
Also those games were all secondary shitty projects.
Mainline games that move hardware will never release on anything other than nintendo consoles.

I don't game on PC
Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy aren't secondary shitty nintendo games and are on a non nintendo console

What, in China?
If you're seriously hoping to see Mario and Zelda on Xbox you're just setting yourself up for more disappointment.
I hate to be the bearer of bad new, but There is no Nintendo/Xbox partnership. There is just Microsoft slowly moving into third-party status as it looks for an audience to buy its games.

According to Greenberg, it was developer Moon Studios that approached Microsoft about the idea. After feeling that the port “made sense,” a release on Switch moved forward.
Greenberg’s full words:
Greenberg also reiterated that Microsoft “will be focused on making games for our platforms and we have no plans to expand our exclusive first-party games to any other consoles.” This includes Ori and the Will of the Wisps, which will launch “exclusively on Xbox One and on the PC.”

I agree, impressive port and game. I only find the intro a bit too long specially considering it's a demo.

Some have the fear for the screen too small...are you agree or Is ok?

I am one of the weird switch owners that uses the system like a TV console so I didn’t even try handheld mode. To be honest I don’t have the best vision so I avoid most handhelds now because of that.
That being said, even playing on my 70 inch TV from 6 feet away, when the game started right after the prologue some of the paths were a little tough to see with how far everything was zoomed out. I can definitely see how some (likely myself) would struggle to see certain things in a reduced down handheld screen, though I feel that’s more of a “me” issue then somebody else with 20/20 vision.
Tried out the demo and really impressed by the graphics, sound and super fluid controls.
Perfect for my Ambilight tv too, with these colours in between the darkness.
I didn't like how the atmosphere was regularly ruined by pointless 'achievement unlocked!' pop ups.
Other dislikes are the blabbering tree voice (cut down the reverb soundguy) and the overly sentimental tone making it seem desperate for an oscar nomination.
I also felt overwhelmed by the amount of collectibles in the first five minutes.
Not sure yet. Might pick it up if it ever releases on cartridge.

This happens in the Switch version?
Yes, and couldn't find an option to turn them off.

This was the last game I played through on my Xbone, definitely think the Switch is the better market for this type of game and it will suit the portable mode since you can drop save points almost anywhere.

Microsoft benefits by getting access to Nintendo's user base.
It's the same reason they are putting Xbox games on PC. They need to put the games where people will buy them.
It's true that you need exclusives to promote your platform, but the One failed to garner a sufficient userbase. At this point they just need to sell some damn software to raise profits.
Cuphead and Ori will generate much better numbers on Switch than XB.

Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition features improved animations on Switch
Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition is largely the same game on Switch as it has been on other platforms. However, developer Moon Studios did make one noteworthy improvement. When the game originally released, Ori’s sprites were animated at 30 frames per second. But now on Switch...

So the game runs better on Switch than it did on XBO? That's funny.
I'm in. I bought my XBO near launch with the Hope's of great exclusives. In the end, it was just Cuphead and Ori. Now, I will have repurchased those games on Switch.

From the demo, it seems like it will be pretty good. The art, animation and overall graphic style mesh really well together. Not sure if I'm a fan of the level design just yet. It seems a little.....forgettable. The sound design is pretty great as well, as the world "ties" to the soundtrack and effects. Seems like it will be worth the 20 bucks, but I'm not expecting to be blown away gameplay wise. If I had to guess, I'd day it will be a fun, atmospheric piece of work that I'll forget about down the line.
Either way, you've got my money. Let's see what's up. Also, fuck these achievement notifications. This is the most annoying shit ever.

Great game. I wish Switch would get that Halo Reach remaster as well.

It's a great game and after having finished the Xbox One original I imported the Definitive Edition from the US to have it in retail form. So, obviously, I at least think 20€ is a good price for it.

Amazing game, I never got round to finishing on Xbox so double dipped. Any chance of Killer Instinct for switch Microsoft.

I’ve beaten this twice, once normal and Once definitive,
But I would triple dip... on one condition. Does the Switch version have its own achievement list separate from the Xbox one and Xbox one definitive version?

Yes. Turn you YouTube.. Play a play through video and hold the xbx controller.
You have Zelda and Mario on xbox.

Right just finished this game on the Switch and absolutely loved it. I have a small few issues however.
The chase sequences got a it nutty towards the end with far more trial and error than I would like and became with frustrating. Now I did play on hard but ya.
Also the game has a habit of not rewarding you with exploring. The game is kinda linear, it's one of those games that if you go the opposite direction than where you're supposed to you'll be halted by something you can't go through because you don't have the orb or power etc. Sometimes this can mean going 10 minutes In a direction and then halted.
And.. that's about it. It's one of the best looking Switch games and more of a metroidvania than I was lead to believe overall. Fantastic.
9/10
