Infinite Fall's critically acclaimed adventure title Night in the Woods could be coming to the Nintendo Switch. When we say 'could' it's because the studio is being quite cagey about the whole thing.
Infinite Fall recently tweeted some information relating to the Weird Autumn update - described as a "director's cut" - and mentioned that the game is coming to "another console" (it's already available on PS4 and Weird Autumn will see the game's previously-confirmed debut on Xbox One).
While there's no official confirmation that it's coming to Switch, we can't imagine what other console Infinite Fall is referring to. PS Vita? That's an outside choice at best, and we'd be willing to bet - oh, at least a packet of Monster Munch - that the game is bound for Nintendo's hybrid platform. Every other indie game worth its salt is coming to the eShop, after all.
Why should you be excited about this? Well, Night in the Woods is kind of a big deal. Our friends over at Push Square awarded it 9 out of 10, stating:
Night in the Woods is a truly magnificent adventure game. An eclectic array of different gameplay mechanics play off of a small American town vibe incredibly well. While the gameplay is fun and varied, the main attraction is the absolutely incredible writing. A college-aged life crisis story paired with some much darker and more sinister elements is used as the framework for developing some of the best-realised relationships we've seen in gaming. All of this set to an incredible soundtrack, while utilising a wonderful art style with exceptional use of colours that makes the experience that much sweeter.
So there.

The fact that any developer would talk about a Switch port as if itβs an understood thing at this point is a very good sign. It was a rare occurrence and a total surprise when the Wii U got any third-party love. How times have changed.
I very like the big amount of games on Switch. Everyone can find their hapiness.
Awesome. Definitely will be picking this up. I was so close to buying on PS4, but I just knew it was coming to Switch, and frankly, I want to play everything on Switch now.
I don't get why folk can't mention the Switch. Honest question. What are the reasons?
@GrailUK
Reveal at a Nintendo Direct?
@0muros Well, everyone except those strange few who desperately want the Switch to fail for whatever silly reason.
Would buy. Please bring to Switch.
My guess is the Mark 3 or maybe the Atari 7800. I see no evidence he's referring too the Switch. π
@Mintendo I'll agree with you because your avatar looks like a tough guy.
Yes!!! I love this game so much I will gladly double dip on Switch!
@GrailUK Even though the answer is obvious, by tweeting like this it creates a little bit of suspense.
If they just said 'Coming soon on PS4, XB1, and Switch' it wouldn't create as much marketing impact. But delay the gratification and it attracts more attention - e.g. by doing it this way NintendoLife will likely write two articles about it, this one, and then another when the confirmation is given.
Normally, I'd say something about how this is old or whatever, but if ANY of you have yet to play this, fix that ASAP. This one's good. I loved it.
So ready for this. I've been holding out for a Switch version because it seemed like a no brainer for them to do one.
Greg rulez ok
Had it on ps4 and its amazing. Would def buy it again with this update. Looking forward to this!
I'm so pumped! Watched the Super Best Friend's playthrough of it and fell in love. Have it on PC but the Switch is the perfect match. Definitely will double dip.
I bet they're going to be a Nindie and be apart of a direct for the Holiday season. That's my guess why they can't talk about it yet.
thank yuo scott benson for my life
Atari 2600?
