So is this fun? It's hard to see variety in the trailers - it kind of just looks like wrapping around poles - so my worry is that it could easily become tedious. But obviously I don't have a good sense of how it controls, and if minor changes do keep things interesting.
It's very fun. I'm at the last level of the second world and they have been introducing new challenges constantly. Think of the poles as platforms in a platformer.

Downloading on the Switch now! Bought a $30 eShop card from EB Games earlier today, just for it.
Zelda, I am Setsuna, FAST RMX, Metal Slug 3 and Snake Pass are rounding out my games collection.
I don't think I've ever bought as many games in such a short time for a console ever (the prices do help massively though!)
Also, this download is taking forever!

Only time trial AFAIK.
The levels are pretty big if you go out of your way to collect everything.

Do we know why the switch version doesn't have time trial?

Any word of it coming as an update?
Probably not enough dev time and they wanted release parity. It will likely be patched in.

Okay thank you
Good that I don't care for time trial that much.
I'm going to buy this game on switch because it seems perfect for my four hour train trip
It's not cheaper.
It's the same price everywhere. The cheaper bit was referring to the 20% discount you got from pre-ordering on PSN.
Yeah it's not cheaper any more sadly, it was the 20% PS+ pre-order discount.

This is pretty good ACH DEE RUMBLE going on with this game. I'm into it.
I guess you must be using the beginner controls?
Wait what this has multiplayer?

No.
I thought you could control the bird in multiplayer ?

No, sir. You cannot.
I never chose any kind of control scheme.
Then I'm not sure how you managed to beat anything without hitting ZR/R2. It's the button that makes you move when using the default controls.
Now I had to check and you're right. Seems I pressed right on the options screen once instead of hitting R to get to the next tab. Huh. Thanks for reminding me, because I definitely want to use the standard scheme, I think you actually need it for some things.

Switch
It's going to take one hour I guess. Normally 4 GB take 10-15 minutes to download.

PS4 (Pro)
Here's a video. I seem to die "twice". Only way i can explain it. https://youtu.be/8pDIL54ua28
This is the 2nd time it happend so i managed to get a video.
All controls become unresponsive, except facial expressions on Dpad. There's no "retry from checkpoint" option unfortunately
To get the pause menu i have to force it as the options button doesnt work. Must use the ps button then go back into snakepass

Having really big problems with the controls. The button layout and responsiveness is alright, but I am struggling to get over the fact that all stick movement is relative to the camera. I'm constantly catching myself using it as if I was controlling from the snake's point of view (tank control style).

The rumble is terrible in this game on Switch. Hope they fix it in a patch. Makes a loud whining noise.... had to disable it in system settings to be able to enjoy the game.

Loving the Switch version! Took me about 10 minutes to properly wrap my body around the controls but it's a must have game for sure.

Is this some kind of thinly veiled snake pun?!?!
Still fighting the urge to buy the Switch version....I don't need anymore games right now. If I keep repeating that to myself I might not buy it right away.

They've acknowledged it and said a patch is coming.

Yes, yes it is
I urge you to get it when you have less on your plate, it's a brilliant platformer that goes back to the days of Banjo Kazooie.

Yeah, same problem here.
