They said September.


When?

"The port is in testing now, and we’ll let you know as soon as we can confidently announce a release date. We generally don’t announce release dates until quite close to launch, when we are at least 95% certain that nothing will go terribly terribly wrong."

The latest update they gave was this, on Reddit.

Hello,
 

Realistically we're trying to get it to everyone as soon as we can, there are a few things involved in that process. First the game has to pass through lot check, a process that is out of our hands and essentially takes as long as it takes. Second, we have to ensure we get a release slot agreement from all parties involved.
 

There are two ways to do this. The normal way is to decide on the release slot first, way in advance (ideally a date you won't possibly miss, so you can ensure it happens.) Of course once you're done with bug fixing, lot check, updates, etc etc you pretty much have to stick to that date, even if you finish early. That could just result in the game sitting unreleased whilst completely checked and finished for some time.
 

The other way is to get all that stuff done first, then announce the next available release window. To ensure we get it out as quickly as is feasible. We opted for that option, and in the mean time I'm sharing all the info I get and am allowed to share.
 

So far lotcheck is looking really good, nothing has come up that needs fixing. Does that mean it absolutely won't? No, because otherwise we'd be picking a release window already. But it's a very good sign and that's all I was trying to convey to people, as part of my promise to keep everyone up to date.
 

In terms of release window, there are so many people involved in that decision that I couldn't really say. As soon as I have that information though, you guys will know.

Had a proper heart in mouth moment: for the first time in ages I took the switch with me on my journey to work. Get on the train, press the power button on the switch. Nothing. Press the home button. Nothing. It's been plugged into the dock, the battery can't be dead, can it? No, I saw 100% battery flash up when I undocked it. Has it been knocked in my bag? Crap, what if it's had a knock and now won't turn on? I held down the power button, hoping it'd reset it. Got a power menu. Phew! Not totally dead, then. Ok, power options...restart. Nothing. Hold it down again. Nothing. Start googling possible causes and solutions on my phone. Hold the power button again. Try power off, this time. Try turning it back on. Nothing. Try again. The switch logo appears on screen. It boots up normally. Everything seems fine. PHEW. :omg:

 

 

Mine did the exact same thing last night. 

 

It shit me right up too.

I really fancy this - Switch'll be a nice platform to play it on

 

Will it, though? I'm not sure how a point and click will work on Switch, especially where you're having to click on a Look, Open, Talk interface and pixel hunt for stuff to click on. Is it going to be touch screen enabled in undocked mode?

Some games are portable mode only.

Much like Overcooked and Towerfall, it's a game that really needs local play with everyone in the same room. It just wouldn't be fun online.

Nah not really. It all depends who you play it with, online or offline doesn't make a difference. We have a group on Discord that play party games like Speed Runners, Ultimate Chicken Horse and Golf With Your Friends and they're just as fun as they would be locally.

Is it true the save file is 5gb and can only be saved on the Switch internal memory?

Not sure as I've plenty of space so didn't notice. Will check when I'm home. It definitely mentioned the 5GB part but didn't notice if it was internal.

 I wasn't trying to give out a comprehensive list - it was just stuff that was in the specific video I linked. I bet there is way more than just 5 more!

I know you weren't, I only make mention of those 5 as they are in the video you posted. I'm well aware that just about everything is headed to Switch in some form or other at the moment!

Anyone here do the Project Octopath Traveler Demo? I beat both sides of it yesterday and it makes me look really forward to the game itself when it releases in 2018.

I've tried as Primrose but keep on losing to the Boss. I must be doing something wrong or i'm just shit. It looks good not sure if i'll get it with so many other games i'll still be playing when it comes out
