Hollow Knight is a promising Metroidvania game due out for a Switch release later this year, or perhaps sooner would be a better word, considering that the developer has stated the port is now feature complete. Up until now, the game has been pegged as an eShop only title, but considering the passionate fanbase that has been built up around the Kickstarter, talk of a physical release has been swirling for quite a while.
In its latest Kickstarter update, Team Cherry spoke on the topic of a physical release on Switch, and while the developer couldn’t confirm that a cartridge is coming, it seems like there’s a pretty good chance it’s going to happen. Here’s what was said:
Team Cherry is often asked whether a physical version of Hollow Knight is coming for Nintendo Switch. In fact, the question keeps filling up our inboxes! While we’re not able to announce anything, we can say we’ve been looking into it making this happen, and things are looking promising!
Hopefully the developer will be able to make this happen, and here’s to hoping we get a release date for the game soon.

Such a great game. Ranks right up there with Axiom Verge and Ori. The atmosphere and music are fantastic, and the gameplay steadily ramps up in challenge as you progress. Tons of unlockables, extras, etc. I would buy a cartridge just to support these guys, they deserve it.
Great! Would love to play this for the first time on Switch.
I would buy a special edition copy for sure.
Content with my Kickstarter copy.
Had to give myself a refresher https://youtu.be/UAO2urG23S4
Yep, I need this in my life!
As long as it doesn't delay the digital version, go for it
Would for sure buy it if it had a physical release and I hope it does
A cartridge would be pretty epic!
I would instantly buy a physical copy of this, it's the only reason I haven't picked up Shantae and Wonder Boy yet as I wait in hope for a physical for both of them.
I would buy it as a physical copy. Don't have it yet on steam and this seems top be a real gem.
Together with the european release of cave story+, these are two smaller games i look forward to.
I'm a bit of a collector of various things, If this follows Binding of Isaac and cave story + with in case pack-ins I may start collecting short run indie physicals for the switch.
Would LOVE a physical edition
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Not played this. But since taking the plunge with the excellent Cave Story, I'm more inviting of other indie titles.
Game looks awesome!! I'm in day one!!
People are really talking this game up around the web.
If it happens fantastic, I'll support it for sure. Picked it up in the recent Steam sale and very much enjoying it, would absolutely double dip for a portable version.
I have been waiting for this on switch.
Great game! Can't wait to get home and work on getting the best ending
I'm waiting for just that
The only reason I haven't purchased it during the Steam Sale already is because it's coming to Switch!
This game is phenomenal. Everyone with a Switch should buy it. Easily one of the greatest Metroidvania games ever, if not the absolute best.
This is the new Ori and the Blind Forest. It's that good. I kickstarted the game and have never been happier with a crowdfunded video game I've pledged to.
Bring on that cartridge release for Hollow Knight!!!
Yes Yes and Yes ..
I'll buy it eshop, for sure !
Whennnnn?
