Publisher Sold Out and developer Metronomik announced today that the music-based action-adventure game No Straight Roads will be released on Switch. NeoBards, a studio that worked on Devil May Cry Triple Pack, Onimusha: Warlords and Resident Evil Resistance, is co-developing the Switch version.

For the Switch version of No Straight Roads, some special features will be included that take advantage of the console’s functionality. These include:

– 3-Player Co-Op – Played in conjunction with the game’s co-op mode, Assist Mode lets up to three local players experience No Straight Roads’ music-based action together, only on Nintendo Switch.
– Touchscreen Support – Use the Nintendo Switch system’s touchscreen to transform props and pick up items.
– Single Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controller Play – Play through the entire game using a single Joy-Con, or pass the second Joy-Con to a friend to play in couch co-op.

Also announced today is the No Straight Roads Collector’s Edition, which features an exclusive double-sided vinyl LP with tracks from the game’s official soundtrack, a 64-page ‘The Art of NSR’ art book, official NSR drumsticks, and a presentation box.
