Last month, Frontier Developments released a short Developer Spotlight video about the upcoming Switch release of Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition, and they've recently put out a second video (above) highlighting more gameplay from the Switch version, which lands on Switch eShop 3rd November.
The video features Game Director Rich Newbold and Senior Artist Liesa Bauwens discussing the ethos behind the game and the best way for new players to start with the game on Switch (perhaps logically, it's best to start with the campaign and get to grips with the basics before diving off the deep end in the included DLC packs).
They also give us a look at in-game footage of helicopter piloting and burning through the park in a pick-up truck — it seems that building a dino park involves much more than simply engineering the most ludicrously blood-thirsy prehistoric predator to prey on your park atendees!
Earlier in October, we took a look at the Switch build in a hands-off demo with Rich Newbold and we came away rather impressed with how the experience translates to Nintendo's hybrid console. The game on Switch obviously won't look like it does on other consoles, but we were very pleasantly surprised about just how much detail the Complete Edition retains.
We didn't see any choppers in our demo, but you can check out footage of our session below and see for yourself how Frontier seems to have found a way. Let us know below if you'll be investigating this just over a week from now.

Looks interesting
Yeah. Might get
Trying to decide if I get this or Pikmin 3 first.
Not sure why they aren't going for a physical release with this one.
@RazumikhinPG seriously i was going pick this one up but no cart no buy especially at that price
How did they manage to make it look so good?! Man, i'm impressed! I hope that once a more powerful Switch comes around, we'll be treated to Planet Coaster, although that is more likely to happen on a next-gen Switch, rather than a Switch Pro
Not at this price, but I Will buy it
That is seriously impressive. For a game of that scale on Switch it looks incredible. Bravo Frontier. Just wish it was Planet Zoo instead!
This totally looks like my kind of game.will definitely get eventually.
But PC reviews shows it's garbage?
It’s a fun game. I got it when it was an Xbox gold game a few months back. It was only the basic version and I enjoyed it for a while. I would drive around my park in the Jeeps for hours. With this having all the dlc I’ll be getting this for sure.
i can not wait for this!!!!
@MarioBrickLayer im getting both!!!!
Between having to get 2 copies of Pikmin and this.... poor poor wallet...I just wish this were getting a physical release 😩
@pauliopaolo me to! But i'm playing quite a bit of Mario 35 at the moment, I haven't finished the Mario 3D collection yet and i picked up assassin's creed the rebel collection on Amazon Prime Day! So it will be Christmas before I play either of them!
No physical release really killed my enthusiasm. Terrible shame for a complete edition.
I will get it if it goes on cartridge
