I see, thanks for the impressions. That is consistent with Zelda, for example. I'm going to guess that it runs at 900p while docked. A little disappointing but handheld mode should be great.

is this game digital only? seen its 20% off preorder on PSN.
I see, thanks man. I think those were just showcased levels by happenstance, oddly enough. If you check out the release date trailer and Air Realm trailer there are some definitively non-jungle levels shown a bit. It is unfortunate the demo gave a different impression, though, hopefully the final game has a lot of aesthetic diversity in its levels.
Yep, digital only.

Why is this not in the Xbox store? I want to preorder.

So torn between getting this on PS4 or Switch... portability can't be a selling point since it comes out when I'm sending my joycon in for repairs

PS4 would be the better choice in your situation, 1080p and 60fps.
It's also 20% cheaper with PS+
Fast Racing and Binding of Isaac too.
Here's where I'm at when it comes to same-day indie multiplats on Switch: I buy the games I want when they release on Switch in order to have a portable version of the game and support indie Switch releases, then wait til the same game is either free on PS plus or significantly discounted on PS4 which it inevitably will be long before it's discounted on Switch.So torn between getting this on PS4 or Switch... portability can't be a selling point since it comes out when I'm sending my joycon in for repairs

Switch version is also 1080p when docked. I'm doubtful of the PS4 version being close to 60 fps when the Pro patch info mentions "higher framerate", which doesn't seem worth mentioning if it were the case in the first place.
That's ... brilliant.

It's 28th in America and 29th worldwide right? I've got myself $20 eShop credit (loving that region free), been waiting on Snake Pass for a while!

I want to get this. I've heard the controls are a little different and not as you'd think it would be.

Same, will wait for reviews, but if it's good, it'll be an easy purchase for me.

Going with PS4 due to MS not even having anything in the store for the game, PSN is cheaper and has a buy one get one free offer also (parapa the rapper here I come)
Wait... what's the buy one get one free? Is that in NA?
Same here. This is the type of game I'd love a demo for, but I could see how that could hurt it if there's a learning curve.
There is no buy one get one free offer.

Post was initially confusingly written, but has been clarified now.
Id imagine they'll start slithering in soon.

1.) MS doesn't just randomly add games for preorder, that's on Sumo for not having it up beforehand
2.) there's no buy one get one involving this game

Yeah my bad that bogof offer made it look like other games were included at a glance
I don't think there is a review embargo in place. Last I heard, which was last week, review code hasn't been distributed yet.

Anyone know what time stuff usually goes up on the eShop? Wondering if I'll have time to grab this prior to getting on a plane in the morning.
They update at 12 PM EST, practically on the dot.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Its 1080p
Snake Pass should be up at midnight...hopefully.
I don't think that Nintendo does midnight releases for the eShop outside of their own titles. Then again, they haven't released any software since March 3, so that may not even be true anymore!
Thanks for the head's-up, that is surprising. I expected review codes to be sent by now.

Unless Nintendo changed how they do things with the Switch, midnight releases are basically only for first party games.
Usually in the afternoon of the release day for third party games. Nintendo does not do midnight releases for them, unfortunately.
This is coming from somebody who has been disappointed that the game does not hit midnight many times in the past.
Did you just get the press key, too? I did and i can't download the game here lol

So a few hours after it releases on the eshop? I'm confident it'll be good so I'll get it as soon as it goes live.
Yup, which version did you get? I'm about to download it and I'll update this post if I run into any issue.
