So many good indies on Switch
Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel’s platforming adventureThe End is Nighis one of those games I’m willing to wait to play until I can do so on Nintendo Switch, right alongsideHollow Knight.
The Switch version launches December 12 and that includesa $30 physical edition with goodies; if you score a first-run copy from Nicalis, you’ll also get a 24-page manual and a silicone Ash toy.

Nic reviewed the PC version and hadmostly good things to report, citingThe End is Nigh‘s “phenomenal design, flawless controls, and kickass soundtrack you have come to expect from a McMillen game.”
The takeaway? “If you couldn’t get enough ofSuper Meat Boyand have spent the past seven years fiending for more punishing platformers, thanThe End of Nighis something you should immediately inject into your veins.” I think by the time this drops, I’ll be ready for a new platformer.
