A Highland Song set for Nintendo Switch physical release
Super Rare Games is preparing a physical release of A Highland Song on Nintendo Switch, the company announced today.
3,000 copies will be available. In each unit, Super Rare Games is packing in the title on a cartridge, interior art, a full-color manual, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.
Inkle originally brought A Highland Song to the Nintendo eShop at the end of 2023. Below is an official overview:
A Highland Song is the latest narrative adventure game from inkle, the award-winning creators of 80 Days, Heaven’s Vault, and Overboard!
Explore hills crisscrossed by routes—some well-trodden, others hidden away—that are filled with stories, lost things, echoes, and memories.
Climb peaks to orient yourself and plan your next steps. Then hop, slide, and jump through the valleys in time with the music.
And be prepared to make the journey more than once, because a single trip isn’t nearly enough to discover the Highlands’ deepest secrets.
This 2.5D side-scrolling adventure brings the Highlands to life with a blend of hand-drawn animation, impressionistic painted scenery, and dynamic lighting/weather effects.
To reach the sea, Moira must first cross the Scottish Highlands—a wilderness of paths, peaks, shortcuts, dangers, and song.
