A beautiful and fun Metroidvania
During today’s Gamescom Indie World Showcase, Nintendo had a “one more thing” to show us, and it was a doozy.
Ori and the Blind Forest, under theDefinitive Editionbanner, is headed to Switch on September 27. For those of you who aren’t aware, this is just one more example of Microsoft and Nintendo cozying up with one another following the announcement of Banjo Kazooie inSmash Bros., and the “Better Together” cross-play campaign, headed up byMinecraft.
Oriactually arrived back in 2015 and is directly published by Microsoft, so the act of the publisher allowing it to release on Switch is kind of a big deal. It’s also a very good game, so if you haven’t played it yet, give it a shot when it hits Switch in September.
