Oh what a knight

GN Version 5.0

Knights and Bikes is making its way to Switch on Feb. 6th, 2020, and developer Foam Sword Games couldn't be more excited. In an interview with Nintendo Life, artist Rex Crowle is asked to talk about changes in the Switch version, which leads him to praising the port in general. Check out his statement below.

Our goal was to deliver the same experience as players had on the other platforms. We didn’t want to ship a reduced or simplified game so it was always a matter of finding technical ways to ensure we didn’t need to change the design or assets of the game. I would say, however, that even without having to make any major changes, playing the game on Switch does feel really special in a different way. Firstly, having the game in your hands, ready to jump in and out at any point just feels a bit magical. Being able to play for 10 or even 15 minutes on a tube journey was great. But then there is the ability to peel off a controller and shift into co-op. You don’t need to buy extra controllers or even bring extras with you. At any point, you can bounce between single player and local co-op and it really does make it so much easier to play with a friend or to get some help from a friend when you need it most.
