Step aside, Microsoft Flight Simulator! There's a new "pretend to fly planes" game on the block, and this one doesn't require 100GB of free space! It's Take Off - The Flight Simulator, a mobile game that's being ported over to everyone's favourite console, the Nintendo Switch.
Take Off includes 24 different planes to choose from, from the classic passenger planes to the exotic seaplane, which is capable of making a water landing. 21 famous airports are also included, in cities such as New York, London, and Sydney, and you can even design your own plane livery to ensure that you always arrive in style.
Take Off - The Flight Simulator will be available on the Nintendo Switch eShop on March 30th, 2022, for $14.99 / 14,99€ / £13.49.

Ya lost me at "mobile".
@Arkay Agreed, we need no mobile ports. Or cloud versions.
Hey look, the Walmart version of Microsoft Flight Simulator!
Switch + GamePass + the real Flight Simulator, please.
... I would personally fund the production of an "Ace Combat" on Switch. Namco, get in touch.
Is this just Hear’say?
(That’s for the tag line)
Another mobile port? It's just plane wrong.
I'll see myself out.
One for the avihaters not the aviators.
Me: Mom, can I get Microsoft Flight Simulator?
Mom: We have Microsoft Flight Simulator at home.
Microsoft Flight Simulator at home:
Damn, puts Microsoft flight simulator to shame
Wow, another one to put on the BACKLOG!!!!
It will probably Crash (no pun intended) plane and simple lol (sorry the tagline made me laugh)
Can the Switch handle those graphics? Maybe they should have made it a cloud version..:
"... a mobile game..."
And that's where I stopped reading.
I'd rather have Pilotwings.
Don't mind me, I flew over here just for the comments 😆
No doubt it's going to be awful as well.
ugh
@HedgehogEngine
Or Steam Link, to stream from your PC :>
@Shiryu
i think ace combat and ridge racer both would work really well on switch.
Seriously, the hate for mobile games is exaggerated, very exaggerated!
In First instance, no all mobile games are gatcha, pay to win or with abusive micro transactions, and any of them are really great games.
Seriously, before of judge a game by it cover, well, origin/port, really it's better check it, as a good consumer, it's correct check and judge that judge and give a incorrect opinion.
Yes, in the price, I accept that if it's some high, it's better a price reduction, but, please, no are exaggerating with very, very low price or with free game.
I prefer Flight Simulator 2020 on PC instead with ultra settings at 1440p.
@SakuraHaruka Phone market always had a bad reputation, and is why no one releases AAA Games on phones.
Second reason. Touch screen isn't suitable for most games even when Android supported Gamepad since the start.
Xbox One Gamepads even have native Android support in firmware.
Borderlands, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Revegance, Resident Evil 5 and some exist on Android, but they are exclusive to NVIDIA Shield TV and won't run on any phone.
NVIDIA themselves did the Android ports and they were designed so they can't run on any phone.
Mortal Kombat on phone is such a waste. Does not support Gamepads.
Anyways. Candy Crush killed the phone market.
@-wc- ...and "Tekken". And "SoulCalibur"! But hey, Banco seems be content with shoving anime licenses into our library instead...
@Ventilator
"Nobody release AAA games in phones"
Ok Then, the GTAs games in phones aren't AAA games?
Mobile games have bad reputation?, Ok, I repeat, here almost everybody assume that mobile games are bad because many games with bad business models "proliferate" the market, but is really correct "demonize" All games by thoses games? It's very unfair and shows lack of many people know really some of those games.
Controls, well, here is more personally of every one, because, someones can play very well in tactil screen and others no.
I have played any games (same game) in PC keyboard, console controller and in tactil screen and I played it without problems.
@Shiryu
of course i had those in mind too... a port of the TTT2 wii u edition would suit me just great! i never got around to it on U.
i guess those just seem like hot playstation type games still, whereas RR and AC are more forgotten to time and free to reimagine in a nintendo kind of way. we can dream!
i really wish NAMCO would detach from bandai a bit and realize its identity. they are vastly different companies in my mind, and namco has an enviable aire of legitimacy when it comes to arcade games that they have let rot on the vine.
@-wc- It is indeed sadly so.
@SakuraHaruka I used to play some games back when Gameloft made complete games with Gamepad support around 10 years ago, until Gameloft became greedy. Later i played a bunch of games on NVIDIA Shield TV.
One of the flagship games for Shield TV is Shadowgun Legends, but the developer became greedy like most others.
Rally Challenge 3 is a complete game on phone and natively supports Shield TV, Gamepad etc. The game were also ported to Switch. Ratrod Games in Canada used to make great sports games with Gamepad support and enhanced versions for Shield TV (1080p/60) . In fact their Android Snowboard games were better than console snowboard games for years.
They sadly don't make much new games anymore.
Phone games is best on Shield TV as they are all 1080p/60 with Gamepad support. Games from Vertical Unit still supports Gamepad. There is some left.
The games on phone were generally better 10 years ago than they are today.
Those GTA games is dead old, even on Android.
Neither Rockstar, UBI, EA, Activision etc. cares about releasing newer games on phone. None of them really liked any handheld.
