Just days after it was revealed SpeedRunners was likely to come to the Nintendo Switch when a fan reached out to the game's publisher tinyBuild via email, the award-winning PC and mobile indie title To The Moon has now been confirmed the same way.
Apparently, all it takes nowadays to find out if a game is coming to the Nintendo Switch is a single email to a developer or publisher. A user over on Reddit reportedly reached out to the game's writer, composer, designer and director Kan Gao asking if the game would be re-released on Switch and received the following reply:
"We do have some arrangements for it."
Here's a screen capture of the written exchange:
Much like SpeedRunners, this is technically the first official information about this game - originally released in 2011 - coming to the Switch. Obviously, we'll still have to wait for a more official announcement, before it is fully confirmed.
Here's a description of this adventure role-playing game, courtesy of the Steam page:
Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts have peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live, all the way from the very beginning... but only in their patients' heads.
Due to the severity of the operation, the new life becomes the last thing the patients remember before drawing their last breath. Thus, the operation is only done to people on their deathbeds, to fulfill what they wish they had done with their lives, but didn’t.
This particular story follows their attempt to fulfill the dream of an elderly man, Johnny. With each step back in time, a new fragment of Johnny's past is revealed. As the two doctors piece together the puzzled events that spanned a life time, they seek to find out just why the frail old man chose his dying wish to be what it is.
And Johnny's last wish is, of course... to go to the moon.
Take a look at the game in the video below:

So in theory, would this game allow me to see the final Nintendo Direct? That's the only thing keeping me alive at this point.
This is a great litrle game with a beautiful story, playing this handheld style in bed would be amazing
I've heard lots of good things about this game, and I've been tempted by it every time it's included in a Steam sale (which is pretty often). However, if it is indeed coming to Switch, I'll probably be holding off for that version. Portability always wins!
To The Moon is not open world unlike Kerbal Space Program.
This game absolutely broke me. A grown man reduced to tears. Never played a game like it.😭😭😭
Man, this game! It has mediocre gameplay (what little gameplay there is) and the RPG Maker style graphics are nothing to write home about. And yet, it's so beautiful!
I've been waiting for the right moment to play it again and I think a Switch release would be it. I'll just make sure to have some tissues at hand
The comments praising this game really do a lot to make me want to play it!
I have this on steam and have played through it.
If you can't take constant tugs at your heartstrings, you may want to skip this one.
On the other hand, if you love a story that absolutely does that to you then you absolutely want this game.
wasn't bad at all though.
Why did that trailer already gave me tears in my eyes?..
Never heard of the game before, but now I want it so badly!
Love this game. Cried my eyes out at the end. 100% would do it again on the Switch.
Thank you everyone for the comments. The comments better explain the game than the video. I recently finished Forgotton Anne, which is 80% story and 20% game. Going into that game, knowing that, made it better. I will wait to see the price on this one.
A true mature experience.
More of an interactive story than a game, though it does have a few puzzles.
I've never cried so hard to a video-game as this. Just hearing the song makes me tear up. T_T
Looks emosh!
Very intrigued though..
As the fellow whose avatar has been from this game since playing it, yeah, for anyone looking for an interesting, original story, this game provides. If you have any interest, it's well worth the purchase.
