We still can't quite believe that the Life is Strange games are coming to Switch, but it's just over a month until we get True Colors on the Switch, and a couple of weeks longer than that until we can play the Life is Strange Remastered Collection, too. What a year!
Ahead of the imminent release of True Colors, Square Enix and Deck Nine have released a new story trailer focusing on the Haven Springs, Colorado setting of the game. Narrated by Steph — a character who was also in prequel Before the Storm, and potentially one of the protagonist's love interests in this game — the trailer plays out like a tourism advert.
Haven Springs has a bar with a pool table and arcade machines, a record shop, local radio station, and, of course, Steph's Dungeons and Dragons games. As Alex Chen, you'll also have the chance to perform live music at regular outdoor concerts — maybe even with opportunities for romance.

Hmmm that’s cool.
Maybe I will pick it up if it runs well
It all seems happy now, but we'll probably all be crying soon. Maybe just pure evaporated masculine testosterone manly sweat condensed on your male ice cold stares, but admit it, when you played the first game, you cried too.
Looks like a Bagman clone (old french arcade game).
Looks really bad.
Pick Axe Pete! (Odyssey 2)
@Shambo I was crying too at the choice between Chloe and Warren. That’s like choosing between death by guillotine and electric chair.
So many good games coming out right now. If I were to buy them all, I'd have to take out a second mortgage.
I forgot the game is located in Colorado, which is where I'm from so that's cool! I'm still debating on if I should get True Colors for Switch or PS5. I'll definitely buy the Remastered Collection for Switch if it has a physical release. These type of games are perfect for portable play!
Just realized this is coming out September
10th. I thought for sure it was September 21st. That’s a pleasant surprise.
I still feel bad for Switch owners not getting Life is Strange 2 though. One of the most underrated games of all time, in my opinion.
@somnambulance other platforms aren’t getting it too in the remastered edition iirc. So don’t feel too bad about it
@shgamer This arcade game is more like a very basic version of Spelunker, or did Bagman have a ghost as well?
Btw, there are two Spelunker games on Switch.
Spelunker Party! by Square Enix and the brandnew Spelunker HD Deluxe by ININ Games, which is coming soon.
The NES version of Spelunker was a 30 Cent game on Wii U Virtual Console for early adopters.

Ok, but they should be actual arcade games. Didn't Squenix at least make one or two at one point or another? I doubt that it would be that hard to get some custom build of MAME running within the game, especially from a company that big.
@Thatsalie It's just my knowledge, but it's flattering that you say my knowledge is like the internet. Thank you, but please refrain from derailing the comments if you don't have something constructive to add to the discussion.

Just.... hoping that the performance will be good.. I'm always in doubt for every upcoming release sigh
@Thatsalie Or you can stop being an ass for the sake of being an ass.
Anyhooooo..... I've never played the LiS series, but it sure looks cosy. Or is that a false sense of security I'm being given, and eventually it's all doom and gloom with broken-ankled friends in a bear-infested forrest and you only have the strength to carry one of them? Did I mention the fire looming over the horizon? Yeah, now there's fire as well as bears.
@nessisonett I specifically remember that one scene, something with a car key and a wheelchair, a massive twist due to a small change with a lot leading up to it . I "admit" (is it admitting if I have no shame or don't consider it a crime?) that I get teary-eyed quite easily, but I had to remind myself that it wasn't real at that point. Just a story. Which doesn't happen all that much. Edith Finch multiple times, MGS3 ending, Journey, Telltale's Walking Dead S1 ending... Maybe a couple more. Even thinking about those moments still gets me sometimes.
What is this, another graphic novel? :-/ The eShop seems to be flooded with them. Especially Weeaboo hentai-lite stuff. God knows who is buying it all, I suppose they are cheap to produce.
@Shambo so true. I bawled my eyes out at the ending of the first game.
I want this to be good so much. Sadly, for me, none of the later games captured the magic and thematic cohesiveness of the first one. Before the Storm was quite good; LiS 2 had its moments, but the overall story was pretty meh.
@pinta_vodki I only played the first game, and while I've read the other ones aren't as good, I still look forward to see for myself. And just as much to replaying the first game. Since I don't really enjoy playing on a tv screen with a PS controller, it was easy to take the "warnings" as a reason not to spend the money and be "happy" it allegedly wasn't as good, now on the Switch... That's different.
Is this set in 'fictional' Colorado, or are actual places, regions and areas used? Asking for myself, a CO resident... (the latter greatly increasing the probability of purchase).
@DTfeartheBEARD
Oh yeah? Fort Collins here, you?
