[Dark Cloud]

Looks so good! I hope everyone supports this game.

 

[rec0ded1]

Getting this as soon as switch arrives

 

[maxcriden]

Awesome OT as always, thanks!

Any reviews yet?!

 

[Makonero]

Playing this tomorrow with my girlfriend. Can't flipping wait.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

This will be my only other launch game next to Zelda. Looks great.

 

[DjRalford]

My daughter actually spotted this game originally and was amazed by it, shame we have to wait until the 10th for the Joycon bundle to be delivered, but it'll be worth it.

 

[Platy]

The faces ! The Expressions !

 

[Ran Ran]

I'm so pumped for this game!

Spoiler

I wish I had someone to play it with

 

[TheOnlyMook]

Will be picking this up with Zelda and probably Shovel Knight. Just as excited to play this as I am Zelda

 

[marc^o^]

I'm getting it with 2 joy-cons for 84€ on Fnac.com.

That's good value, it seems fantastic.

 

[jon bones]

My wife and I are gonna love this!

 

[vareon]

$20 is a great price. Will pick this up immediately.

 

[ChemicalCutthroat]

Looking forward to reviews. But I can't see anything stopping me from picking this up.

 

[Alrus]

Bought as soon as I get my Switch.

 

[.J.]

Is that a typo in the OP? 2 Joy-Cons but a 4 player mode?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Now this is the second game to buy with the Switch.

Looks like a blast.

 

[Fireblend]

I really want to know how long this game is, as in amount of stages. I really hope it has a ton of them.

Instapurchase regardless, this looks like a ton of fun.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Now this is the second game to buy with the Switch.

You are 100% correct!

I'm in love with what I've seen of this game!

 

[-shadow-]

Will be the first game I'll play, even before Zelda. This game just looks so awesome!

 

[RobotHaus]

Already got the digital copy from Amazon, code delivered tonight. Gonna be some fun with the girlfriend and the 4 player mode looks like a blast.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Awesome OT as always, thanks!

Any reviews yet?!

When I asked to cover the game I was told codes weren't being sent out until launch

 

[KaYotiX]

ill prolly be getting this to play with my wife or son

 

[Incitemaybe]

Looking forward to this tonight

 

[ryanofcall]

Is it local or wireless local with 2 systems, too?
I can see it being a bit messy when playing in tabletop mode with four people.
Will get it either way though

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

The OT I've been waiting for! Awesome job btw.

Would love some solid gaf impressions since there are no reviews. I'm probably going to get it regardless but I've heard nothing but good things.

 

[wartama]

Which is Snip and which is Clip?

 

[Mariolee]

Going to have so much fun with this tomorrow

 

[dkeane]

Looking forward to this!

 

[Firemind]

I'm in. $20 seems like a bargain.

 

[SomTervo]

I'm in. $20 seems like a bargain.

It's that cheap???

Bought

 

[Souzetsu]

I'm definitely getting this game.

 

[gingerbeardman]

This is my launch game. Hyped.

 

[Memory]

Game was fun at the hands on so i'm down for sure.

 

[Majine]

This game will always be called Friendshapes to me damnit.

 

[Plum]

If I can get online tomorrow I'm definitely buying this ASAP. Looks like such a better choice than 1-2-Switch in terms of a launch portable local MP showcase.

Great OP title by the way, cracked a grin when I saw it.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Still curious how the single player is going to work but I'm totally buying this tomorrow.

It works like Trine or Pikmin 2/3 in that you swap between the two characters on the fly. The actual content of the puzzles don't seem to change at all seeing as the concept kind of makes that impossible.

Ah gotcha, seems kinda clunky then. Oh well, I'll just have to play this with the wife!

 

[Chaos17]

When I will buy Switch this is will coming with Zelda è_é
Hnnng, neeed.

 

[Porcile]

How did these guys get help from Nintendo? That's crazy but really cool.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Looking forward to impressions, but I'll probably get it asap.

 

[psyfi]

Cute thread title Looking really forward to this one!

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Might have to get this one for my party game needs since 1-2 Switch seems to not be that great.

 

[Souzetsu]

Cute thread title Looking really forward to this one!

Wasn't Friendshapes the original title at one point?

Developers talk about single player mode
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...ith_nintendo_to_create_a_switch_co-op_classic

As this game can also be played in single player, can you talk about how this is implemented?

Adam: You can push a button to swap between the two characters at any time. We added a few subtle features which make this experience work quite well. At SFB Games, we obviously needed to play single player a lot during development, so we're very used to it! The game is still a lot of fun by yourself. Some might say it's harder since you have to manage both characters, but I could argue that it's easier, since there's no-one around to contest your puzzle-solving ideas!

 

[Adam Tyner]

Wasn't Friendshapes the original title at one point?

Yup!

I'm absolutely buying this day one. My wife and I both were hooked by the Treehouse demonstration. I wonder how many puzzles there are in World Mode.

 

[ahm998]

this will be awesome with my wife 👌🏻

 

[sanstesy]

[QuixoticNeutral]

It will be a few weeks before I have a co-op partner available for this, but I'd be curious to hear about replayability. The developers did encourage playing it through with multiple partners to arrive at multiple possible solutions, and in that vein, I wonder if a two-player experience in the two-character mode would still be fresh if you've already seen the puzzles solo.
