jumped the shark.

At this point I'm really struggling to not buy it on PC instead. I want it on Switch but if I see it for a good price on Steam, I'm in. Shame though as it seems perfect for the portable.

Maybe not Day 1, but definitely sooner than later. Nintendo exclusives and indies are all i need from the Switch. My backlog is already stupid long.

I like the pun but I don't get what you're saying. They're speeding things up significantly now with this decision.

I've heard good things about Hollow Knight so I was waiting for it to release on Switch. Glad they are working on getting it out sooner.

Nice. With the success Hollow Knight has received on PC critical and saleswise, it's good to see they can afford some external help to bring their game to consoles.

I think three. Or at least one more part time. But yeah either way it's insane that so few people crafted such an insanely big game while making so much of it so unique and polished.

Incredible polish and such a gorgeous art style. I'm blown away! I'm definitely going to double-dip on this when I get a Switch.

After seeing how utterly gorgeous Wonder Boy is on Switch, I really can't wait for Hollow Knight. It's going to be a treat to behold on that screen.

I want Indivisible too.

I feel the need to acklowledge this because I appreciate the effort that went into the setup.

On topic, this is great news. I am holding out for this version, so it's awesome to hear that they consider it a priority.

Yeah I'm not at all hesitant to double dip when it's out on the Switch. One of the best games in a year filled with amazing games and possibly my new favourite metroidvania.

lt's absolutely on the level of Super Metroid as far as l'm concerned. l'll buy it again once it's out for Switch just to be able to play it everywhere and because these guys need all the money for creating such an amazing game.

To be fair to the writer, that is kind of a weird exception in English writing. We have to put the apostrophe to indicate it's a contraction, but you'd usually use 's to indicate possession. It's kinda messy. So I can't blame someone for getting it wrong.

Would it not be its' then, or does that only work for plural possessives like "going to my parents' house"?

Or have I completely misunderstood how the s' works @_@

Would love to see a lot of devs do the same and get people to help get games on this thing while it's still super hot, no one knows when the switch honeymoon phase will be over so they need to get games on the switch asap to get the best sales possible.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Oh, so this was after the "6 to 12 month" announcement? Fantastic, this is such a perfect Switch game that I stopped playing it on PC in anticipation.

One advantage (for devs/pubs) to porting games to the Switch that are already out is that there is a larger market for double-dipping due to the portability of the console. I think we'll see this happen a fair amount over the course of the next year or so.

Would double dip on this one if I had a Switch. Great game, probably the best Australian developed game that I've played that I know of.

SWITCH

Quick Update: Switch version is now feature complete! Prep your Joycons (Or your Pro Controller, if you prefer). From now till Hollow Knight’s (unspecified) Switch launch day it’s all about testing and optimisation, all the time. That’s still a task mind you! But things are really rolling now!

And though it may go without saying, Hidden Dreams will of course be included with the Switch version at launch!

Seems like the Switch Version is making good progress
