A Hat in Time will release physically in North America on 18th of October for 40$. The game comes with a download for the DLC "Seal the Deal" which is - at least for now - exclusive to PC and Switch.

I wish it has a European release.

 

[Yoshi]

I wish it has a European release.

I do, too, but remember that US physical games are 100% compatible with European Switches .

 

[Dr.brain64]

This game, the music... sooo goooood!

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

I'm in for a physical release.

 

[Bakkus]

In 30fps and lower resolution? Still a pass.

 

[infinitys_7th]

Awesome. I figured it would be a LRG game at some point, but this is better.

 

[Life]

Man, I thought it's a sequel or something. Got me excited. Way too short, but much fun.

 

[hybrid_birth]

This should boost Hat in Time sales quite a bit.

 

[Thurible]

Yes!

 

[ROMhack]

Oh god it's about time.

In 30fps and lower resolution? Still a pass.

Last time a Switch port got cut to 30fps and I thought “no big deal” the game was Bloodstained and the frame rate was a harbinger of much worse issues.

It's 30FPS on PS4 and XBOX One too......

Yeah, same as Yooka or Crash Trilogy. Both of which have great Switch versions.

 

[The Jag]

There's a certain unnamed site who wants the physical copies boycotted because JonTron voices a tiny throw away character.

Sorry for the bump of this old thread. I just picked up a copy of this game on Switch today....

Is this a secret "game is only partly on the cart" game? because it's been updating for a really long time, and that does not make me happy as a person who likes my physical copy of games.

It's not like the box says anywhere about internet being required either, so it SHOULD be all on the cart, but I always update my games first just to make sure it's got the latest version. An update is usually done in a few minutes. This has been going for like 20 minutes, and still only half way done.

Except for the DLC that is included, no. But the game's performance is pretty bad, so there was a lot to correct with patches.

Is it still bad, or was it improved with patches since release?

I do not know, I always play what is on the card, because once you download a patch, you cannot use the game unpatched anymore, effectively killing the longevity of physical media.

I just started playing this the other day. I think there's about 5 gigs of updates, even then the performance is just okay. The resolution and frame rate are kinda crappy. The game is playable and so far has been pretty decent.
