The Sega Genesis love letter and 2D platformer known as Freedom Planet has once again been teased for release on the Nintendo Switch, but this time a bit more seriously.The game’s developer Galaxy Trail have teased the possibility before now, but it appears that now they might mean it. A few months back, the team joked about the prospect of Freedom Planet being on the Switch with a picture shared on their social media pages, which literally showed a PC copy of the game sitting on top of a Nintendo Switch. They capped it off with the caption, “Are we doing it right?”Well, after that gentle ribbing, it seems that Galaxy Trail may have listened to the feedback from the fans, and have made a follow-up to that original image, which they have shared via Twitter. The image seems very similar to the original joke post about porting the game, but a quick glance at the image reveals what appears to be a working version of the game’s title screen running on the Switch, along with an update indicator in the bottom right corner reading “v.1.21.5.”Guys, we know it’s been a while but I have to ask are we doing it right yet?— GalaxyTrail 🌀 (@galaxytrail)There is no concrete evidence as to whether or not Freedom Planet is planned to be released on Switch, but the tease seems a bit too specific to mean nothing at all.

With the game’s sequel coming sometime in the near future, and the popularity that the game enjoyed during its brief time on the Wii U before other systems, porting the game to the Switch doesn’t seem all that far-fetched.The original Freedom Planet was a fast-paced 2D platformer originally released for PC, which started life as a Sonic the Hedgehog fan-game, until the developers became dissatisfied with making something derivative and instead decided to re-imagine the project as their own intellectual property. Tenchu time of the assassins walkthrough. The game is most reminiscent of the original Sonic games on the Sega Genesis, but also takes clear inspiration from other classics on the system, such as Rocket Knight Adventures and Gunstar Heroes.The sequel – which is currently planned for release some time in 2019 – plans to move just a bit further away from the Sonic influence that initially inspired the project, and get a bit more creative and original with its mechanics than the first. The development of the game will also be assisted by none other than Christian Whitehead, who helped lead the development of Sonic Mania not too long ago, just in case you were worried that the game would lose its speed.Freedom Planet is available now for PC, Wii U, and PS4, and Freedom Planet 2 is planned for release on multiple platforms some time next year.This post was originally written by Greyson Ditzler.

Freedom Planet. System: Nintendo Switch Release date:. The planet Avalice has long known a tenuous peace thanks to the Kingdom Stone: an orb of unknown origin that outputs enough free energy to power every device in the world, seemingly without limit.

Even though we have lots of Sonic the Hedgehog goodness on the Nintendo Switch with Sonic Mania Plus already, there’s always room for a good tribute title -- like Freedom Planet. And today, we learned when GalaxyTrail’s fun little indie title would be coming to the Nintendo Switch.

The game, which has been making the rounds on PC, Wii U and PlayStation 4, will arrive on Nintendo’s system starting on August 30, according to the publishing team at XSEED Games. A price point hasn’t been given yet but is likely to be around $15-$20, depending on final release.

Here are the full details for the game, so you have an idea of what to expect:

Freedom Planet is a fast-paced, combat-driven platform adventure that pits a spunky dragon girl and her friends against hostile foreign powers and alien attack forces. There’s trouble around every turn, from insects and giant robots to sheer explosive destruction, but players will have a variety of special fighting abilities at their disposal to blast through more than a dozen massive, non-linear stages.

Take back the world of Avalice and return peace to its three kingdoms for the first time on a handheld console! Play as one of three characters – Lilac, Carol or the unlockable Milla – each with their own unique gameplay style, and use their individual skills to forge a path through the gorgeous 2D pixel art and lush multi-scrolling backdrops that make up the stages in Freedom Planet.

Both were developed by NadGames. Step into the arena and get ready for an all out battle. Arctic combat reloaded. Combat your enemies in an all-out battle to see which team will come out on top! Do you have the skills to rise to the top? Choose from tons of different maps for the setting of our fight and be prepared to arm yourself with several different weapons.

Each character’s abilities add new ways to fell foes and traverse tumultuous terrain, employing the game’s momentum-based platforming and sprawling level designs to reward players with a seemingly bottomless barrage of secrets, alternate paths, hidden collectables, and speed run opportunities for faster clear times.

With a traditional ‘Adventure Mode’ featuring over an hour’s worth of fully voiced cutscenes to enhance the game’s dramatic storyline, and a ‘Classic Mode’ to get players straight into the action, the Nintendo Switch release of Freedom Planet offers the full, uncompromised experience at home or on the go.
