Those eager for 3D platforming on the Switch will have multiple options in October. In addition to a certain plumber's debut on the system we'll have a retail version of a respected title by PolyKid - Poi: Explorer Edition; it's all set for release on 23rd October in North America with a recommended US price of $29.99, published by Alliance Digital Media; we're currently clarifying plans for Europe.
In addition to those release details there's a bit more information on the exclusive content that'll come to this Switch iteration; the publisher has given us an early look at the trailer and key details.
Inspired by the cheerful classics of 3D platforming, Poi is an engaging adventure that follows two aspiring Master Explorers as they search the far reaches of the world for an old explorer’s lost medallions and unravel the mysteries of the Milky Way Globe. Journey to uncharted lands aboard your sky-ship, discover colorful worlds filled with curious creatures and surprises, and use your range of jumping abilities to collect over 100 challenging medallions.
Available only on Nintendo Switch™, Poi: Explorer Edition builds on that core experience with exclusive features, including more challenging boss battles, new character costumes, an unlockable soundtrack and digital art book, and Joy-Con motion control support.
Do you like the look of this one?

Is this another Poirt?
Mehhhhhhhhh. Meh, I say!!!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE This game never made it to Wii U. There was an attempt to Kickstart it but it failed.
@thesilverbrick I'm aware of that, thanks.
lacks the refinements of a really good N64 platformer. The extremely limited size (only 40mb) original Jett Rocket on Wiiware looked more polished (it was pretty fun too).
Well that looks unfinished... Not worth the $15 bucks on Steam. No idea what makes them think I'll pay $30 on the Switch
Looks decent. No Mario Odyssey, but I'll take a non-gimmicky 3D platformer any day.
Will wait until it's discounted and i've finished Mario
I do like the Whale Hot-Air balloon
Already own this on Steam. Very enjoyable, but not 30,- enjoyable. I'll pass, thank you very much.
But is there 2 player co-op!?
Looks like that Freezeme game or whatever it was called on the Wii u
I'll wait for reviews. Looks decent, though!
That is some epic music in the trailer.
Physical form also ?!
Gimme One !
Super Mario Odyssey? Pppft.
I know what I'll be playing this October.
It looks fun. Poor timing on the release, however.
Copycats, the game more looks like Super mario 3d land or world.
Looks really rough.
Seems a bit on the expensive side for what it offers, but I'm always happy to play a 3D exploration platformer.
Still waiting for Yooka-Laylee news, though.
I have this game on Steam, and despite its looks, it actually controls really well. But I don't think I'd pay $30 for harder boss fights and more costumes.
Has that awful look of a smartphone game👎
I'll wait for a price drop/sale
Very happy to see a physical edition. Just unfortunate it couldn't release a month or so earlier to avoid Mario. Would've had the 3D platformer genre to itself.
@AG_Awesome Yeah, it looks like Freeze Me and I thought that game was awful. It did get an ok review but was just really boring to play.
This game does look better though.
I would have purchase this for 10-15$ but 30$?!! Nicalis much here I see.
Looks fun! Retail version for me of course! I'm liking this retail trend for the Switch that's been going on! 👍
@wazlon Yeah I tried to like that game but there was just too much that felt unfinished and unrefined. It caused unnecessary frustration and I haven't played the game in a while. I'll keep an eye on this and check the reviews before going for it.
Poi?
