A Hat in Time Could Be Appearing on the Switch in the Future

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been wanting to play this one, but if this doesn't happen I won't be able to. So glad that Nintendo gave them the dev kits! This game has been slowly progressing since 2012 but I can tell it is turning into something special. I still haven't received my copy of Yooka-Laylee from the kickstarter since it is not out for Switch and yet A Hat in Time seems to be even better and may come to Switch sometime after launch on other consoles! We'll just have to wait and see.

Also everyone; the screenshot used above is very old and that is why it looks generic and the main character looks wierd. Here is current footage, which shows how beautiful this game is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDNz8JDIPck

I hope it comes to Switch. I'd say if it doesn't I'll get it on another platform, but the Switch library is growing enough that I might not need to get a second system (which would be a PC, not a console that wants to be a PC) to give me enough games to fill my time. Can't play everything even if I had every system.

Meanwhile, at Lefthanded Studios...

Just from that picture alone it looks generic. Will need to see more.

I'd buy it. Just sayin'.

Just so everyone knows, the screenshot presented is super old. Like a few years old. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDNz8JDIPck for current footage.

@Spoony_Tech That picture is very outdated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDNz8JDIPck This game actually looks really good.

@RainDripp @TheSpeedyMouse Thanks for the link. It does look like it has a certain charm to it. Definitely one to keep an eye out for. Also looks like one that would sell better on a Nintendo platform. Gee, I wonder where I heard that from?! 😉

This is what i want for the Switch:

Looks good. Hope it makes its way to the Switch, as I don't like playing platforms on the PC.

Oh, October 5th? Completely forgot A Hat in Time was a thing. Definitely gonna check it out on PS4 then. Hopefully it won't be a mess like Yooka-Laylee was. At least I can't be disappointed - I have no expectations for it whatsoever!

If it's good, yeah, why the heck not? I mean, I plan on buying YL on Switch again so that bar ain't too high.

@TheSpeedyMouse oh wow, that actually looks good - ty!. I'll probably won't wait seeing how they not even working on it for the Switch yet and just get it on PS4.

@maceng That will never happen because of this.

I'm going to be playing on the xbox one x though can't wait for it.

I've followed this game for years. It looks so good. It's a shame it took them so long to get a devkit. I'm going to buy Switch version day one if they decide to port it.

Kudos to everyone linking the trailer, it gives a better idea of what the game is like. Frankly, 3D platformers are not among the highest priorities with me, but this is the second one that's really hooking my attention recently (I don't count Rime since it looks more like an action-adventure free-roamer without levels or hub worlds). And somehow they both seem themed about headwear. XD

That's a fairly emphatic answer, there are NO PLANS for a Switch version.

I love Kickstarter... "Estimated delivery: Feb 2014"
That's a hell of an approximation.

Isn't that a very old shot of the game you found there?

It will happen!

I like the look of the video

Very Banjo

If it turns out good, I'd love to have it on the Switch. Had my eye on it for a while.

At the moment, though, it's probably a good thing it's not releasing on Switch alongside other platforms, because we already have a huge platformer releasing on Switch in October.

@Bunkerneath Gotta admit, this game looks ADORABLE.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
And Absolutely 100% NO PLANS for Wii U also.
Hah !
Do you want some salt ?

Been waiting for this one for a while, and it sounds like a possible Switch port is still a year or more away, so I'm likely getting it on PS4 upon release. Hope it delivers!

@Anti-Matter wow. Your trolling him hard.

It's looking fine judging by the clips I've seen of it. I'll keep it on my radar.

@ricklongo Don't forget other devs have got their games working on Switch in record time - including Snake Pass, which uses Unreal 4 (this uses Unreal 3, but hopefully it won't take too long...). Also, the other console versions came out of nowhere practically, so it bodes well.

I have the Beta version of this (will be upgraded to the full version when it comes out). I'd highly recommend picking this up if it comes to Switch, even the Beta wipes the floor with Yooka Laylee (which I also have on PC and played at 4k60, unlike the console versions which run at 30fps).

@ANeonChicken Well, Steam it is!

@RainDripp @TheSpeedyMouse Thanks for the link. This game looks like it could be real good. Glad to see an indie game looking so gorgeous. Will definitely look at picking this one up

P.S. @SwitchVogel, could you look at updating the picture? This game looks so much better than it does in that picture. Thank you.

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES

You know how pewdiepie and jacksfilms had a joke about stealing each others content? I think Nintendo and gears for breakfast should do that. It will earn them both a lot of recognition. (Mario Odyssey vs a hat in time)

@ToXicsp1der wow, that is a funny idea that would boost both games and would make GOB and Nintendo good friends, which could mean Nintendo would be able to put hat kid in some of its games like smash 5!
