"A lot of the optimizations we did for Will of the Wisps ended up in the Blind Forest version for Switch, so that was a nice side-effect.

Another thing people maybe don't notice immediately is that Ori's sprites were animated at 30fps on Xbox/PC, but for Switch we were actually able to update the animations to 60fps due to all the optimizations, so technically Ori actually even animates a bit smoother on Switch than on the other platforms :)"

Always nice to see developers going the extra mile to deliver the best conversion they can.

Nice, the game already looked great too. Will add this to my next download batch.

There is a fairly large demo of this available on the Eshop right now before it's launch tomorrow, the game does look absolutely beautiful on the Switch especially as a handheld title this is just gorgeous to look at and plays like a dream. Smooth as butter the whole way through the demo... only slight issue I had was a tech issue with the demo opening the eshop at the end where the system was still playing the game music while the shop was open and it did not run correctly at all. Also not sure if you can move your save from demo to retail game so it might be worth waiting the day if you know you're going to be buying this.

This game is one of my favourite games this generation. I am so tempted in double dipping again however i am waiting on the hyped up sequel. Good to see the support in what is one of the best new IPs this gen.

I want to play a lot.
I read somewhere that is is similar lo HK, but focusing more on platforming than combat.
I would like to buy a physical edition.

Ori is one the best games ever crafted. The music in particular is astounding.

Good. So my guess is a 8-10 hours for the first time playing?

I assume it's out now. Gonna double dip! Triple if the upgrade to "Definitive Edition" counts...

Is there any chance of a physical release? I would much prefer it.

Tried the demo; it's not my cup of tea but I still hope it does well as it is clearly very well crafted.

Hard to even guess at this point. Some digital-only Switch games have later seen physical release, but it can take a long time, and even for some rather big ones like FAST RMX and Hellblade it hasn't happened.
