Forgotton Anne also confirmed for Switch in the west
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Forgotton Anne was announced for Switch earlier today, though only for Japan. Thankfully, Square Enix Collective has followed up with a quick announcement for the west as well.
Forgotton Anne is launching worldwide in 2019. When it does, the story-driven adventure will cost $19.99 / £15.99 / €19.99. However, there will be a 10% discount for two weeks.
Here’s some information about Forgotten Anne:
The story-driven adventure, set in the beautifully hand-crafted 2D cinematic Forgotten Lands, launched on console and PC back in May. Its forthcoming release on Nintendo Switch means it’ll soon be available on all three major consoles, alongside the PlayStation®4 entertainment system and Xbox One family of devices, including the Xbox One X.
Forgotton Anne reveals the hidden dimension where all mislaid items from the human world – the odd socks, the lost letters, the missing toys – are sent to linger. It’s the job of the Forgotlings – creatures formed out of all of these missing items – to help the trapped Anne and Master Bonku find their way home.

Does Bad North need some wild west?

The art style may be minimalist, but make no mistake, Bad North will require maximum patience and planning to survive the Viking onslaught. I took a journey through its procedurally generated islands and lived to tell the tale. With permadeath looming over every mistake, the game relies replay value. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed coasting through Bad North’s combat, it didn’t leave me wanting more Viking blood on my hands.
