Stardew Valley has been a smash hit on various platforms, so it's great news that this indie farming simulation role-playing game developed by Chucklefish Games will be landing on the Nintendo Switch eShop this Summer.
As revealed in today's Nindies Showcase, the Switch version will be the first platform to host the new multiplayer mode - which we're sure will be a great hit.
Will you be picking up this open-ended, country-life RPG this Summer?

One of my personal favorites from last year. Can't wait to go mobile with it!
I was thinking getting a ps4 version. But man I changed my mind! Stardew valley on the go sounds fun.
Didn't pick this up initially. When I heard it was coming for the Switch I decided to wait a little longer
I love this site, u guys sure work fast.
Absolutely 100% recommend this game, even more so if you like games like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon. Even if you don't like those games though, look into it. Super great game, and will be even better on the Switch with the portability and multiplayer.
I've held out on this as soon as I thought it might come to Switch, very excited.
This was the most exciting news for me. I have been waiting for the multiplayer to be added to try this game. So many awesome looking multiplayer games coming out on the Switch though!
This looks like it will be a great little game.
Look forward to playing this on the Switch. Handhelds are perfect for these type of games.
I played a harvest moon, and have friends hat played stardew valley. All of them say it is a great game, I definitely will try this out at some point.
I've passed all the other versions hoping I could play it on the go + TV with the Switch. Nice.
Never played this and now I want to!!!
Really waiting for this! The only reason i may not pick it is if Nintendo will announce an Animal Crossing game
I've never played this game, but it looks like something my girlfriend would be into... so with the newly added multiplayer I'm thinking 'why not?'
Yes! YES! SO much yes!
I'll wait for the multiplayer patch on PC so I can play with my gf
This is the one. This is the one I've been waiting for.
Bought and played the PC version, but decided to wait for a portable version before I really dove in. Glad I did.
@RGnsd
SAME. I've been tempted by the PS4 version, but I'm happy I waited.
Ok, ok I'll double dip!
I got this for PC when it was on sale and still planned on getting it again for the Switch. What they showed today was icing on the cake. This game was already well worth it to begin with.
I see physical releases for the Xbox One and PS4, I wonder if the switch will get a physical release as well.
Definitely will be getting this one. I do hope that the Switch sees a new Rune Factory game as well. Anyone know what this will cost on the Switch?
It seems a bit cheap to me that the multiplayer - which was a core component of the game's pre-release advertising, and has been absent for over a year since the PC release - will be coming to Switch first.
I mean, I'm happy that Switch gets a neat thing, but that just seems very unfair to those who are already supporting the game.
Must have now.
I think @zipmon will be interested, too!
I skipped this on ps4 since it would be great as a handheld game and now Im glad i did
I kept waffling over getting the PC version or waiting for the Switch version. Glad i waited.
@BenAV "Handhelds are perfect for these type of games."
Right?! It's almost as if handhelds really shouldn't focus on AAA home console titles. That'd just be silly.
If this gets a physical release I'll grab two copies for multiplayer! Come on... you can do iiiiiit!
@BLD I never really thought of it that way. I played the ever loving crap out of the game on PC, so I'm not really going to complain - but I can definitely see how this feels a little dirty, them using it as a bargaining chip with Nintendo when it was promised last year. Oh well, still an amazing developer and game!
IM SO EXCITED!!!!!! I've been talking to my mates about playing this game when they announced multiplayer and now it'll happen!!! Gonna be loads of fun.
This is one game I think I'd really like to try.
And my list of personal Switch must-buys just keeps growing and growing. I've heard many great things about this one, and as a Harvest Moon, etc, fan, I'm sure I'll love it.
Oh no! This will be dangerous as a portable version, even though I've already got the PS4 version I think I'm gonna have to double dip! PS multi-player mode whaaaaaat!

Hit up that Twitter and let em know! We gotta start being more vocal about what we want, if we actually want to see it happen...

@SLIGEACH_EIRE you're certainly in a good mood today! Suits you
I've heard so many good things about this game, especially as far as being a tribute to classic Harvest Moon titles. I was thinking of getting it off Steam, but I might hold off on that now that it's coming to Switch.
@roadrunner343 @BLD The only reason I can see as to why the Switch Version will be getting multiplayer first is to pacify Nintendo fans who cried about the Wii U version being cancelled.
Instead of Christmas Wii U release that was originally planned, we get a summer Switch release.
Nice thing about the multiplayer, I'd say that's a great effort from the dev to offer some peace to Nintendo fans.
Yeah, I'll probably get it on the Switch. I've tried it on the PC a bit and it's fun and relaxing. I just hope that it will be reasonably priced since the PC version regularly dips below €10 when on sale.
This is portable, so no Steam sale will stop me from switching to the Switch!
Hope this gets a physical release
